Mercury

Hour meaning

Mercury's hour is fast, agile, multi-directional. Communication during this hour is clear and effective, learning is quick, agreements settle. Classical texts define this hour as "the hour of the messenger." The first hour of Wednesday morning is Mercury. Letter writing, reading/signing contracts, commercial negotiation, beginning short travel, buying books are ideal. Hypnosis, language learning, pre-exam preparation are powerful.

✓ Do during this hour

Reading and signing contracts, commercial negotiation, sending letters/emails, writing/publishing books, language lessons, beginning short travel, dispatching messengers. Mercury (metal) talismans (mercury is toxic — use another metal in modern practice). Wednesday language ritual.

✗ Avoid during this hour

Deep meditation, long-term planning, serious decision, life-and-death matters don't suit this hour. Quickly scattering energy can't carry big work.
