Mercury in the 12 Zodiac Signs and Your Voice
Everyone’s voice is just as distinct as their personality and there are many traits of your voice and the way you speak, which are inherent at birth.
Even in the same family, where you are likely to find similar qualities in the voice and speaking tone.
there are many subtle differences that give us a clue to their personality and other temperamental traits.
In a relationship, it is important for both Venus as well as your Mercury to be compatible with your partner.
Mercury
is never more than 28 deg. away from the Sun (this is why you can only see it just around sunrise or just before sunset). As each sign is 30 deg., this means that Mercury can only be either in the same sign as your Sun sign or just one sign before or after. This should help you guess one’s Sun sign by knowing which sign their Mercury was in from the descriptions below. Ex: If someone has Mercury in Leo, then their Sun sign can only be Cancer, Leo, or Virgo.
