I think
Mercury wants to get the message out. Quick thinking and creative communication are its priorities. Along Mercury lines, you’ll find your attention drawn to creative outlets, sensory perceptions, and the wirings of your mind. While the Moon reflects your inner world through emotion, Mercury communicates through intellect.
Dualities: In the light, Mercury is a skilled wordsmith, bridging the gap between thought and expression, and thus bridging gaps between people. In shadow, Mercury becomes a snarky critic, communication does not serve to unite, and intellect becomes better suited for paranoid theories than creative connections.
