Mercury Basics Part 2: Defining “How the Brain Works” Through Zodiac Signs as a Grammatical Model

Mercury Basics Vol.2

This explanation is based on my original grammatical framework: 

S (Subject) + V (Verb) + C (Context/Place).

In the previous installment, I defined the subject (S) for interpreting Mercury as

“how my brain is used.”

This time, we will identify the verb (V), which corresponds to the zodiac signs.

Since this “way of using the brain” is about information processing, rather than the structure of the brain itself, it is best to understand the verb as the habitual way the brain responds when it receives information. Now, let’s take a look.

■☿ Mercury × 12 Zodiac Signs

 ➤ “The way my brain is used operates as if it functions as ○○.”

Aries 

➤ Operates as a system that makes immediate judgments and translates them into action.

Taurus

 ➤ Operates as a system that identifies value and steadily builds upon it in a stable way.

Gemini 

➤ Operates as a system that gathers, connects, and handles information flexibly.

Cancer 

➤ Operates as a system that protects emotions and a sense of security, and understands through relationships.

Leo ➤

Operates as a system that centers on one’s will and expression in order to communicate it outward.

Virgo ➤

Operates as a system that analyzes, organizes, and optimizes information.

Libra ➤

Operates as a system that maintains balance within relationships and adjusts toward the optimal form.

Scorpio ➤

Operates as a system that deeply explores essence and reveals what is hidden.

Sagittarius ➤

Operates as a system that seeks meaning and truth, expanding toward a broader perspective.

Capricorn ➤

Operates as a system that translates things into practical forms that result in tangible outcomes.

Aquarius ➤

Operates as a system that generates new perspectives and systems beyond existing frameworks.

Pisces ➤

Operates as a system that senses beyond boundaries and understands things in a holistic, all-encompassing way.

These are the twelve ways Mercury operates across the zodiac signs.

You can use these for communication, for studying, and for gathering information. 

Simply having this awareness is sufficient.

In the next installment, we will complete the S (Subject) + V (Verb) + C (Context) framework by examining the adverb (houses), to understand from where you tend to acquire information and how that tendency works.
