The Phases of Mercury

A course by

This in-depth course reveals the hidden rhythm behind Mercury’s motion — the 116-day synodic cycle that shapes perception, speed of thought, and communication.

You’ll learn how Mercury’s different phases — from Morning Star (Promethean) to Evening Star (Epimethean) — reflect two distinct styles of thinking: one proactive and forward-driven, the other reflective and intuitive.

We’ll explore:

  • The two conjunctions — Inferior (“New Mercury”) and Superior (“Full Mercury”)
  • Greatest elongations and their connection to mental clarity
  • Mercury’s speedometer — what fast, slow, or stationary motion says about your mind
  • The symbolism of Combust, Cazimi, and Mercury’s distance from the Sun
  • How to interpret Mercury’s “Speed of Mind” and “Mental Independence” in natal charts

By the end, you’ll understand Mercury not just as a planet of communication, but as a mirror for consciousness itself — showing how your mind connects, reflects, and evolves every 116 days.
