Interpretation

Mercury in Aries thinks fast and speaks faster. Your mind is decisive, competitive, and bored by nuance. You process information through action — you'd rather try something and learn from failure than analyze it first. Communication is direct, sometimes blunt. The gift is mental courage. The shadow is speaking before thinking.
