It dissolves metals such as gold and silver to form amalgams.

In Roman mythology, Mercury (the Greeks knew him as Hermes), the son of Zeus and Maia, was the messenger of the gods and the mediator between the realm of the dead and the kingdom of the living. He was the God of commerce, communication and ruled over wealth, good fortune, fertility, and thievery. Mercury is shown with his winged helmet which signifies power and protection, while the small wings on his heels symbolize swiftness. Mercury is also known as “quicksilver,” a reference to its mobility. Mercury is considered Androgynous, and the only immortal that could travel between realms without being tested or paying for passage. Often depicted as carrying a staff in the left hand, this staff was originally called the caduceus and featured two snakes winding around a winged staff. It is used as a symbol of medicine, especially in the United States, despite its ancient and consistent associations with trade, liars, thieves, eloquence, negotiation, alchemy, and wisdom.
This lunation continues the influence of the Scorpio Full Moon eclipse earlier this month triggering transformations, transitions, and uncovering secrets. A Mars Jupiter conjunction in Aries brings forth a willingness to take a chance with heightened optimism. Financial, legal, and voting systems are being modified and altered.

Time to expand our understanding(s) of the Universe and open our minds and hearts to greater potential to live free in joy and peace! Thoughts become things, so only think good thoughts!
