Mercury and Communication
Looking back, something about a Mercury-ruled woman and her phone keeps popping up. Either it contributes to the character's overall persona or it partakes in a major plot development. Perhaps, it speaks to these women's natural finesse.
For example, Galleria's phone (from The Cheetah Girls 2 phone audition scene) still remains an obsession shrouded in mystery for many fans lol.
Jyestha Sun Raven-Symoné (Cheetah Girls), AA verified Ashlesha Ascendant Philippine Leroy-Beaulieu (Emily in Paris), Jyestha Sun Vanessa Hudgens (High School Musical), Revati Sun & Jyestha Moon Jamie Lynn Spears (Zoey 101) and Revati Sun Leighton Meester (Gossip Girl).
All the phones I coveted as a kid (upon seeing them on screen) belonged to characters played by Ardra natives. Ardra lies fully in Gemini, which is a Mercury-ruled rashi.
Ardra Sun Ashley Tisdale (High School Musical), AA verified Ardra Ascendant Vanessa Williams (Ugly Betty) and possible Ardra Moon Emily Blunt (The Devil Wears Prada).
I recall Punarvasu being referenced once as the nakshatra of Oracles. It mostly falls within the Mercury-ruled Gemini.
Punarvasu women (in fiction and reality) become privy to new information or secrets, which they then publicise and expose. :
Punarvasu Sun natives Wendy Williams, Melissa Collazo (One of Us is Lying) & Kristen Bell (the actual voice of Gossip Girl) and AA verified Punarvasu ascendant native Jennifer Tilly (The Haunted Mansion).
So do women with Mercury-ruled nakshatras. :
A verified Jyestha Moon Joan Rivers, possible Ashlesha Moon Giuliana Rancic, C verified Ashlesha Ascendant Emma Thompson (Late Night), A verified Revati Moon Ellen DeGeneres and very possible Revati Moon Lilly Singh.
Mercury rules communication and phones remain our primary means of direct contact or connection due to the speed, reliability and convenience they promise.
Does this reveal that Mercury also plays a pivotal role in communing with incorporeal entities, energies and frequencies? It could further explain why Hasta, Mercury's exaltation point AND mooltrikona, arose so prominently amongst witches & occultists. Hasta falls completely in Virgo, yet another Mercury-ruled rashi.
Interestingly, all the functions of every other smart device around us can be compressed into our handheld phone, which is the smallest device we own, usually. This size comparison reminds me of how Mercury is the tiniest and youngest planet but the most dexterous and masterful one too.
Therefore, we could assume that Mercury is central to divination. It may be a tool for achieving spiritual awakening. I can't help but wonder if its placement in our charts could reveal more about this.
