Emeralds for Mercury

How can Mercury affect your life?

Mercury is the planet of intelligence, communication, business, friendships, energy, creativity, writing, artists, education, schooling, and mental disorders including anxiety, autism, and ADHD. Skin problems can also be related to Mercury. When Mercury is afflicted in the birth chart, trouble related to schooling or education can become prominent. There are also difficulties related to thinking clearly, speaking your mind, communicating effectively with others, not making enough money, struggle in business, not having good friendships and trouble with peace of mind. Many times, if you’re repeating the same mistakes over and over again — this is the influence of Mercury.

How can an Emerald help?

There are multiple gemstones which can be helpful for the influence of Mercury but Emerald is the most powerful. Emeralds should have minimum flaws and an intense color to be effective. Imperfections interfere with Mercury’s energy.

Mercury’s energy can bring more intelligence, academic success, mental peace, effective communication, success in business, and wealth into your life. Use the natural energy that the divine has given to bring greater success into your life.
