Mercury at the Personality Level

Mercury is the concrete, communicating mind -- the personality's capacity for thought, speech, and connection between ideas.

Mercury at the Soul Level

Esoterically Mercury illumines the lower mind and taps intuition, acting as mediator between personality and soul -- the messenger who carries insight upward as much as information outward.

Mercury at the Hierarchical Level

Hierarchically Mercury can carry the impulse of the antahkarana -- the bridge being built between personality and soul, mind learning to perceive truly before it acts.
