Mercury in the signs - Aries

This Mercury is an independent thinker that talks quickly, and likes to think up new ideas. A person with this placement has an intolerance for mental complexity and prefers to get straight to the point without much toing and froing. Therefore, this is a splendid placement for the crafting of slogans and punch-line phrasing for someone who works in advertising, marketing or as a salesperson where a quick mind is certainly advantageous. Mercury in Aries may be a bit of an expert in sports talk – in any competitive environment really that requires quick reactions and counteractions.

Mercury in Aries expresses himself in a challenging manner that has strong and even provocative effect on other people. This is the person who tends to initiate conversation as well as arguments! At times, he needs to remember that occasionally a little bit of delicacy of expression or nuanced phrasing is needed and preferred.

Nevertheless, in some business environments, straight forward talking and a more dominating, confrontational style is an asset. To win praise, win the argument, win attention, or just to win – that may be the primary communication goal here.

The Daily Rash

Naomi Campbell has her Mercury in Aries and has been called the supermodel with a temper before. This is also due to other combinations and yogas in her chart but her Mercury in Aries conjunct a debilitated Saturn won't help.
