Handwriting in Astrology
In Anatomical Astrology, Gemini rules the arms, hands, as well as the bones and muscles running through them. Not only does it rule these body parts, it also indicates how we think and communicate our thoughts. This is due to the fact that Mercury (Gemini and Virgo’s ruling planet) is connected to the brain and nervous system. All of these are interconnected.
To put it simply, our writing relies on our hand-muscle movements, and these movements are dependant on the signals coming from our brain and our nervous system. Therefore, an individual’s potential to have nice handwriting depends on their mental capabilities, as well as the level of learning and practice they have put into honing their writing skills and technique. So perhaps these listed placements may refer to someone who enjoys writing and perfecting their craft:
Mercury placements
2H/Taurus
Clear communication is something they highly value, as it provides them with a sense of stability
Being known for their intelligence and beauty boosts their self-esteem as well, therefore they may be inclined to learn more about typography, calligraphy, and other artistic modes of writing
6H/Virgo
These natives are known for their formal communication skills, attentiveness, reliability, organization and intelligence at work
There’s a possibility that those with this placement actually work in the communications field
Mercury naturally rules this house, so being a skilled communicator or having nice writing may come naturally
7H/Libra
Those with this placement will be known as sociable, endearing, and diplomatic or eloquent in their communication
Their interests may also revolve around relationships, arts, and beauty— similarly to the Venusian ruled Taurus, they may be inclined to learn about artistic modes of writing in order to express their affections
9H/Sagittarius
This placement refers to someone who is intelligent and thrives in higher education
Perhaps they’ll be interested in learning about the anthropology of language, linguistics, and/or foreign languages in particular— this may influence their communication skills and handwriting
12H/Pisces
In some instances, having Mercury here may refer to someone who is anxious and insecure about their own thoughts. Perhaps the native will be more inclined to communicate through art and writing than speaking…
If they trust their intuition and openly express their vulnerabilities, they will be deemed as a beautiful communicator, no matter the mode it’s in
3H/Gemini placements
Taurus/Venus
May write slowly, steadily, and in a concentrated manner
Letters may be written straight/upright, perhaps printed
The handwriting may also have indications of heavy pressure
Since Taurus is a Fixed sign, their handwriting may seem consistent
Their best writing happens when they’re in a comfortable environment
Virgo/Mercury
May have very clean and seemingly “perfect” writing
Perhaps mostly inclined to write in printed script or with pointed/upright letters for legibility
Since Virgo is a Mutable sign, there is an indication that their handwriting may be changeable
They may have learned how to write/communicate well during their early ages of development
Libra/Venus
May have more than one handwriting style or have some irregularities
Their writing may be slanted and/or cursive (can be mixed with printed script)
Letters may be written with light pressure, rounded, connected and/or have narrow spacing
Since Libra is a Cardinal sign, their handwriting may show their impulsivity— they may write quickly due to their quick thoughts
Sagittarius/Jupiter
As previously mentioned, they may have the ability to write in more than one language
Since Sagittarius is a Mutable sign, their handwriting may be changeable
Their letters may be large and/or bubbly— may also have wide spacing since Jupiter rules expansion
Rounded or slanted writing may be common with this placement
Pisces/Neptune
May have very stylistic, slanted or even cursive handwriting
Letters may also be rounded and/or connected
The handwriting can be quite illegible to others but appears to be otherworldly
Since Pisces is a Mutable sign, their handwriting may be changeable or flows beautifully
