What Does Mercury in Aries Mean?

Mercury governs the mind, and in Aries it thinks like a fencer — fast, direct and always on the attack. These people decide quickly, speak bluntly and treat every discussion as a friendly duel they intend to win. Ideas arrive as flashes of certainty rather than slow conclusions, and their first instinct is usually bold and often right. They are brilliant at starting arguments, projects and movements, less patient with footnotes and fine print. Listening, for them, is a skill acquired later in life — usually the hard way.
