Algol
Mercury Conjunct Algol
With the natal Mercury conjunct the fixed star Algol, the most intense of the stars, the star's character marks your mind, perception, and speech: raw, concentrated power and the danger of losing your head, a force to master. Mercury weaves the star's quality into how you think and communicate, for sharper or stranger thought. Read it together with Algol's full nature and the rest of the chart, since a single star colors but does not dictate.
