You are mercurial in appearance or manner, especially if Mercury is close to (within 10 degrees of) the Ascendant. You're restless, adaptable, changeable, easily distracted, versatile, and nimble. While you enjoy talking, you might often monopolize the conversation or fail to listen — you might be too busy thinking about what you will say next to truly listen.
You have a mischievous and even precocious manner. Lively and interesting, you quickly adapt to new situations. In fact, you treat most new endeavors with curiosity and great interest. Your first reaction to new stimuli is logical and curious rather than emotional.
