Mercury in the 1st House 
  ************************************************************** 
  With Mercury in this position, there is often a strong inclination to gather 
  information from a variety of sources and to communicate this information to 
  others. You could be a natural spokesperson, spreading ideas and information 
  amongst your fellows. You are lively, quick-thinking, and garrulous, but when 
  you analyze situations you may make the mistake of being too critical of 
  yourself and others. You should carefully assess the zodiac sign in which 
  Mercury is located because those qualities are likely to be enhanced. You like to 
  gain knowledge about yourself, but try to be aware of any excessively 
  self-centered thinking.  
   
  Because you have a large amount of intellectual energy, you must try to focus it 
  in a positive way. Blaming others and being prejudicial will limit your potential. 
  Consistency may not be your strong point, but by seeing the bigger picture of 
  things, you will improve dramatically. You may have experienced many changes 
  in your surroundings during childhood, which provided an early opportunity to 
  view the world from many different perspectives.
