If you are interested in astrology and think that you are affected by Mercury retrograde, this charm gives little protection that even though he is not there, you have him with you.

I had a lot of brass cross charms that I used for another commission work. When I was thinking about what I can do with the leftovers and the idea of making astrology and alchemy symbols using the leftovers came to my mind then I transformed them into astrological symbols.

Hermes / Mercury is known for being, authentic, elusive, free, friendly, playful, shameless, swift and unpredictable.

In Jungian psychology, Hermes / Mercury is considered one of the psychopomps who is a mediator between the unconscious and conscious realms and he brings messages via dreams and symbolic manifestations to the conscious world. The more I learn about Jung’s ideas, it came to obvious that there are strong connections between astrology and Jungian psychology as they both use archetype images.


In Greek mythology, Hermes is the Olympian god of herds, travel, hospitality, trade, thievery, diplomacy, language and writing, He is a son of Zeus and Maia (nymph) and is Zeus’s personal messenger and the guide of the dead who led souls down into the underworld. He is also known as the friendliest god to human beings. He carries the caduceus, a symbol of peace.

In alchemy, Mercury can mean both the element and the planet. The symbol represents the mind as well as a state that could transcend death. In ancient times, Mercury was known as quicksilver and was believed to be able to shift between liquid and solid states. Therefore, mercury was believed to shift between life and death.

In astrology, Mercury symbolises communication, travel and trade and he also associates with The Magician in the tarot card. He is a ruler of Gemini and Virgo and his natural houses are in the third and sixth. Mercury has a role as an ambassador or a healer and is a connector of opposing forces, bringing polarity together in a grand synthesis. Mercury is the only planet that is not considered either masculine or feminine. Astrologers believe that when Mercury retrograde, our communication and travels are disrupted. However, it is believed that this retrograde period gives us an opportunity to reflect on our own lives and deal with unexplored feelings and unfinished business.
