Mercury rules your chart, giving you a mind that processes faster than most and a social adaptability that lets you fit in anywhere. People perceive you as intelligent, sociable, and perpetually interesting. You're the chameleon of the zodiac, not because you're fake, but because you genuinely contain multitudes.
