Mercury is the planet that rules communication, decision-making, intelligence and technology. In Sanskrit, Mercury (also known as Budh or Budha), represents the discriminating intellect that helps us on our journey towards truth and self knowledge. During a Mercury Retrograde, it is said that this time is prone to communication breakdowns, and subsequently electronic malfunction. Mercury rules over the signs Gemini and Virgo-- in Gemini, it tends to relate to matters involving communication. In Virgo, it is said to be exalted (able to express itself to its full potential), and shows its analytic nature. The Throat Chakra is also ruled by Mercury. Anything that requires clear thinking, dialogue or decision making is best initiated on Wednesday. Use this Mercury Day Candle to help balance your Throat Chakra, during a Mercury Retrograde or on any Wednesday you desire.
