what mercury withholds — from you, from others, from itself

not all knowledge is spoken. not all silence is ignorance. 🦋📜🗝️

☿ Mercury in the Signs

aries — guards the fear of being dismissed. Their sharp tongue hides a soft core still aching to be heard without being tested.

taurus — keeps quiet not from shyness, but control. Their silence is deliberate; their truths, slow to share but never shallow.

gemini — knows too much to trust the air with all of it. They collect confessions like artifacts but keep their own feelings behind frosted glass.

cancer — speaks in emotional codes. What they remember is sacred — not for retelling, but for understanding patterns no one else notices.

leo — hides their doubt behind charm. Every confident remark is edited, rehearsed. What they don’t say matters just as much as what they do.

virgo — won’t show you their mental chaos. Their composure is a spell, cast to keep their overthinking from spiraling out in public view.

libra — withholds their judgment. They already know how this ends — they’re just waiting to see if you’ll say it first.

scorpio — rarely speaks unless it’s necessary. They know the truth — they just want to see what you’ll do in its absence.

sagittarius — conceals how restless they are. Behind the loud ideas is a soul still searching for a truth that doesn’t contradict itself.

capricorn — won’t share the blueprint. They know the way forward but speak in half-truths until they know you’re trustworthy.

aquarius — gatekeeps insight that might unravel you. Not to be cruel — but because not everyone is ready for that kind of clarity.

pisces — lets you interpret them wrong. Their language dissolves, shifts. What’s hidden isn’t shame — it’s depth that doesn’t want to be diluted.

☿ Mercury in the Houses

1H — speaks easily, reveals little. What they show is shaped by how they want to be seen.

2H — withholds their internal value system. What they believe is priceless, and not up for discussion.

3H — knows how to disarm with words. They’ll make you talk — while never giving away their own soft core.

4H — the family historian with locked drawers. Keeps ancestral wounds close, but never lets them define the conversation.

5H — playful and expressive, but deeply guarded. They write poems they’ll never read out loud.

6H — seems practical, even cold. But their mind is a battleground of self-doubt and over-analysis.

7H — always calculating harmony. They know what people want to hear, but rarely admit what they truly think in return.

8H — nothing escapes their perception. Their silence is loaded. They’ll never speak a truth they can use later.

9H — sociable but detached. They understand people too well to ever reveal what they actually need.

10H — won’t admit how badly they want to succeed. Their language is formal, but their inner dialogue is ruthless.

11H — masks uncertainty with certainty. Their worldview shifts often — they just don’t tell you when it does.

12H — speaks like a dream. Their truths are buried in metaphor, half-remembered and never fully formed — even to themselves.

Finally got around to designing them and I love how they look (˶˃ ᵕ ˂˶) .ᐟ.ᐟ
