Astrology, the planet Mercury and Nervous System Disorders

In medical astrology, Mercury is the natural ruler of the nervous system. Its position in your horoscope is a significant indicator of the health and resilience of your nervous system and how you will cope with stress. The nervous system carries info regarding the condition of the body to the brain. It then processes it and carries back instructions from the brain to the rest of the body regarding function. Mercury oversees the sifting and synthesis of information, and is the common linking factor between the systems of the body. The mechanism of breathing is also ruled by Mercury. Mercury disorders are the nervous disorders, both physical and mental, from neurological disorders where disease affects the brain and nervous system disturbing its normal function, to situations where the ill health is more of a mental nature, disrupting the nervous state of the individual. Neurological disorders range from vertigo, convulsions, paralysis, sciatica, Parkinson’s and respiratory complaints. Nervous disorders tend toward communication and learning problems as well as to anxiety and nervousness. Obviously, Mercury being the planet of connections, there is frequently an overlap between nervous and neurological disturbances.

The sign that Mercury occupies in your natal chart is indicative of specific nervous system weaknesses to be alert for. Its position can also indicate what remedial measures will be most effective in prevention or treatment. Here are what health issues and therapies can be associated with your Mercury placement:
