Mercury at 4° Virgo Dates

Mercury is the archetype of the Messenger or the Trickster. Mercury is the only planet that is neither masculine nor feminine. Psychologically, Mercury represents left brain thinking, your communication style, critical/analytical thinking, attention to detail, linear thinking, "black and white" thinking, adaptability, your sense of humor, your inner trickster, your technical ability and skill, craftiness, and your ability to work with your hands. The primary function of Mercury is to "transmit and convey." The shadow side of Mercury is the propensity to lie, fake, steal, cheat, or lack morality.
