What does Mercury in Sagittarius mean?
It means that the intelligent, witty, communicative, talented, strategic, analytical planet of merchants Mercury combines with spirited, energetic, flexible, adventurous, rebellious, independent, philosophical, optimistic, mutable fire sign Sagittarius.
It also means that the significations of Mercury, such as courage, intelligence, wisdom, merchant skills, communication abilities, etc are expressed through the traits of the fire sign Sagittarius which embodies the qualities of humbleness, and kindness, valor, philosophical wisdom, and righteousness.
Mercury considers Jupiter, the ruler of Sagittarius neutral, which makes it an average combination in Vedic astrology. Therefore, Mercury in this sign is not damaged nor amplified by default.
With that being said, Jupiter becomes the guide to Mercury in this sign. Hence, the deeper outcomes of this combination are highly dependent on the condition and dignity of Jupiter in the natal birth chart.
Mercury in this sign is in 4th and 7th from its own signs Virgo and Gemini respectively. The 4th is a favorable quadrant house or Kendra Bhava which signifies peace of mind, thinking patterns, domestic happiness, nurturers, caretakers, mother, comforts, conveyances, real estate, homeland, traditions, etc.
The 7th is another auspicious quadrant house or Kendra Bhava which signifies balance, peace, harmony, partnerships, joint ventures, trading, marketplace, society, societal norms, compromises, etc.
It also means that Mercury in 7th is in the farthest sign from its own sign Gemini. In other words, it means that Mercury is completely out of its comfort zone.
When a dignified Jupiter supports Mercury in Sagittarius, then the missing of the comfort zone allows for greater evolution, prosperity, and success.
Results of Mercury in Sagittarius
Optimistic & Flexible Communicators
The 9th zodiac sign Sagittarius is the most optimistic zodiac sign because the energies of the 9th sign signify faith and belief in humanity. At the same time, Mercury is the planet of communication and information transfer, both written and verbal.
Accordingly, individuals with this combination radiate optimism with their style of interacting with others. At the same time, they are also realistic, because that is what Mercury, the ruler of critical Virgo is all about.
The analytical traits from Mercury enable them to analyze each experience to produce better outcomes. With that being said they rarely get pessimistic even when going through negative periods, experiences, or debates.
In fact, they are exposed to difficulties and challenges often because Mercury is completely out of the comfort zone or far away from its own sign Gemini. In a positive light, this prompts them to become stronger and more resistant.
Instead of giving up, they take the best out of the negativity and learn from these situations in order to produce positivity.
In other words, they see opportunity in every difficult situation. When conditions become good, they are capable of making the most out of opportunities in order to grow and expand.
Their ability to see and feel the change is fueled by the mutable modality of Sagittarius. In fact, the intellectual character reflected by Mercury loves being in the environment of a mutable zodiac sign, which signifies adaptability, resourcefulness, and flexibility.
Change is inevitable and these individuals know it because they are blessed with flexible intellect. They have the ability to embrace changes and remain optimistic and levelheaded at the same time. Their optimism helps them to adapt to new conditions more efficiently.
Flexibility also influences their way of interacting with others. To be specific, they are not stiff and always respect liberty and freedom of expression. Hence, they always consider the voice of other people and give enough space for free expression.
With that being said, these natives are also very tolerant and always seek to understand the thoughts and ideas of other people.
A dignified Jupiter extends the auspicious effects to a great extent. That is because Jupiter is the planet of optimism, faith, and higher wisdom.
Not only that a strong Jupiter can empower these natives with more optimism, but also makes them faithful. When they are faithful, they have more belief in themselves and that everything will turn out fine in the end.
Using the heightened optimism, wisdom, and faith of a strong Jupiter, they are able to overcome all challenges while learning from them and becoming experts in their activity.
Most importantly, a dignified Jupiter ensures that they remain righteous, truthful, and honest while pursuing goals.
While they are righteous, they also motivate others around them with many uplifting comments. They always emphasize their expressions with uplifting words such as fantastic, great, amazing, brilliant, etc.
Their intonation of expression becomes also positive with the support of a dignified Jupiter. For instance, when they are busy and someone disturbs them, instead of responding aggressively they tell them that they would love to communicate after a while when they become free.
On the contrary, an undignified Jupiter greatly reduces the effectiveness of this combination. That is because a weakened Jupiter makes a person very pessimistic and unethical.
While they remain flexible communicators they rather seek selfish ways of prospering rather than uplifting those around them. Alternatively, with undignified Jupiter, their good intentions can be motivated by selfish ambitions.
Valorous Communicators
Unshakeable optimism requires lots of bravery which is luckily provided by the fire element of Sagittarius. Individuals with this combination of Mercury in Sagittarius have the guts and courage to resist negativity and persist to ensure positive outcomes using their communication, information transfer abilities, or speech.
At the same time, using their brave and optimistic interaction style, they empower and encourage other people around them. These natives are the ones who give energy to their surroundings with never-ending optimism.
This effect is reflected by the 7th disposition which signifies society and public image. With Mercury in Sagittarius forming this deposition, these natives prove to be very effective and active in front of society or coworkers.
In addition, Mercury aspects its own sign Gemini, which is the 3rd zodiac sign representing courage and communication. The aspect makes the significance of Gemini much stronger and more prominent. Mercury supports its own sign while displaying the qualities of a fiery and faithful Sagittarius.
Hence, this planetary combination makes a person very brave when it comes to expressing themselves. With that being said, they are not afraid to express their liberal ideas that are often different from the usual and conventional ideas.
When odds seem to be against them, their persistence enables them to prosper with their ideas despite the possible conflict of views. However, they rarely attract opposition because Mercury inspires them to take a soft and adaptable approach while proving their points.
Renowned & Influential
The 4th and 7th dispositions formed by Mercury in Sagittarius can potentially make individuals with this combination renowned in society.
Both 4th and 7th houses belong to Kendra Bhava or quadrant house group in Vedic astrology and are extremely auspicious supporting pillars in life.
The 7th disposition specifically is exactly the opposite of the 1st house of self and therefore denotes public image or reflection of self upon the society.
