ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Mercury (astrology)

Ok, kiddo. You know how when you look up at the sky at night, you can see stars? Well, sometimes people believe that where those stars are in the sky can tell you about your personality, your future, or your life.

One of those things in the sky that people believe can tell you about yourself is called Mercury. Mercury is actually a planet, but some people think it has a special power over us because it moves pretty quickly and is close to the sun.

If Mercury is in a certain spot when you were born, it might mean that you are really good at talking to people and getting your point across. Or it might mean that you have a hard time making decisions or that you're always changing your mind.

Now, it's important to remember that not everyone believes in astrology or thinks that Mercury has any real power over us. But for some people, it can be really interesting to learn about and see how it might relate to their own life.
