Mercury in Aries Personality Traits
When Mercury is in Aries in your natal chart, you tend to make decisions quickly out of a desire to always be moving forward. Your mouth responds just as fast, so you tend to speak without thinking, and often in a volatile manner.
Speak Without Thinking
While Mercury is the planet of thinking, Aries is the sign of doing, so if you are born when Mercury is in Aries, you have the habit of thinking before you speak. Rather than consider your words, you tend to just blurt out whatever is on your mind.
While many people appreciate your refreshing honesty, you can also have a tendency to speak harshly. When you are angry about something, it is challenging for you to keep the fire out of your words.
Confident Decision Makers
While others might be on the fence when it comes to decisions big and small, when you are born under Mercury in Aries, you are good at quickly weighing up the pros and cons and making the tough calls.
You are also comfortable owning the consequences of your decisions. Good or bad, in your opinion, it is better to move forward than waste time and have decisions made for you by the universe because you weren’t fast enough.
Volatile
When your Mercury is in Aries, the people close to you might consider you to be volatile. This is because you are always reacting to what is happening in the moment. Your brain responds quickly to the current stimuli, and your mouth can react just as fast.
For this reason, you aren’t always the best at putting things in perspective, but rather constantly react to the here and now. This can make you seem a bit inconsistent and temperamental.
Always Thinking
Because Aries is such an active sign, when your Mercury is in Aries, your mind tends to run at a mile a minute. You move between ideas quickly, you can get bored easily, and you probably speak very quickly.
For this reason, you tend to be one of those people who is always looking for something that is new and exciting, to stimulate your ravenous mind.
Mercury in Aries Compatibility
If you are born under Mercury in Aries, you will often be drawn to partners who also have Mercury in one of the fire signs, Aries, Leo, or Sagittarius. But you are also highly compatible with Mercury in Gemini.
You like the way conversations with others Mercury fire signs push you. They challenge you, and respond with the same vigor. You find this stimulating and attractive.
While people born with Mercury in Gemini aren’t as aggressive and forthright in the way they speak, they are even faster on their toes than you. They are always saying the unexpected or asking the tough questions that throw you off balance, and you like it.
