Mercury in the 1st house

In the 1st house your mind, speech and way of thinking become part of your very identity: you present yourself to the world through words, questions and lively interest. People read you at once as quick-witted, talkative and curious. The strength here is fast reactions, clear expression and the knack for finding the right words on the spot. The area to grow is not identifying yourself with intellect alone, and not being restless in speech where a pause matters more. Here you unfold through how you talk, carry yourself and put your ideas across.
