Mercury Sign Calculator
Find your Mercury sign: how you think, learn, and talk. Enter your birth date and city, and your birth time if you know it.
What is a mercury sign?
Your Mercury sign is the zodiac sign Mercury was in when you were born. Mercury describes your mind: how you process information, make decisions, and express yourself in words.
Mercury is always close to the Sun, so your Mercury sign is either your sun sign or one of the signs right next to it.
How to find your mercury sign
Mercury stays in a sign for two to three weeks, longer when it is retrograde. Your birth date is almost always enough.
If you were born on a day Mercury changed signs, the calculator shows both options when your birth time is missing.
