Mercury is the planet of intelligence. It has dual nature. Mercury is a young planet among all. Mercury is a child as well as a businessman. It rules your social life and friend circle. It rules your decision-making capability. Mercury is the planet of communication and curiosity to get knowledge. Mercury believes in logic and practicality, and analysis. Now we will check which sign has the same qualities as Mercury.

Let’s talk about the Virgo sign.

Virgo is the own sign of Mercury. The Virgo sign is a stable sign and good at decision-making. Virgo itself means young age. Virgo is a sign of practicality. After so much analysis, Virgo comes to a conclusion, and it is a perfection seeker.

Virgo is very selective But very social, very communicative, and very curious to learn new things. It is a very practical and logical sign rather than emotional. This sign also has good business qualities.

So, Mercury loves to be in the Virgo sign (own sign), where the child doesn’t get punished in his own house because of his naughty behavior and also where a businessman uses his entire brain for profit with his own new idea without taking decisions emotionally, it will take decision with practical analysis, that’s why Mercury gets exalted in own sign.

Because Mercury seeks perfections, it found Aries a more aggressive sign, Taurus is more enjoying in nature, and Gemini has duality, So Mercury found Virgo has a blend of all.

Let’s talk about the Pisces sign.

Pisces is a sign of spiritual teachings, Isolation, bed pleasures, long travel, losses, deep emotions, an ocean of emotions, and also imaginative in nature. So, a child has a fear of loneliness and Isolation. In fact, Mercury has the nature of an extrovert, is very social, and makes friends for fun. So, Isolation doesn’t suit Mercury.

Spiritual teacher Mercury gets all knowledge, whether it’s spiritual things, technical or worldly affairs.

Pisces is a deep emotion sign and imaginative. Mercury is very practical and lives in the present moment. So, a child will have strictness in ashram while getting spiritual knowledge from the teacher. So, it doesn’t suit child nature.

Suppose Businessman spends time in imagination in spite of making quick decisions. Then it is also not suitable. That’s why Mercury gets debilitated in the Pisces sign.
