Mercury in the mutable, fire sign of Sagittarius indicates a mind concerned with all codifications of social thought, whether in the form of religion, philosophy, law, or other studies related to higher education. You are independent, sincere and you often have a great sense of dry humor. Impulsive, you often speak without considering the consequences. You have intuitive flashes of truth, but, due to an overabundance of interests, you are apt to scatter your mental forces. You mind does not need sharpening, only directing. Generous, progressive and honest, you hate to deceive anyone. Because you are concerned with attitudes more than with facts, you are interested in higher education, philosophy and religion. You relish intellectual status, tend to be a non-stop talker and love travel of any kind. If there are many difficult aspects to Mercury, you can have a tendency towards moral sermonizing or toward being overly pedantic in your attitudes.
