In Greek mythology, Mercury is the messenger of the gods. The planet probably received this name because it moves so quickly across the sky.

THE NUMBER ONE LIFE PATH

The Number One Life Path is characterized by initiative. As a One, your life is likely dominated by originality, ambition, self-confidence and creativity. You are self-reliant, preferring to go it alone rather than be in a cooperative venture with partners or a larger group. You probably have a very full and active life. Still, be cautious: On this life path, you must learn to make your own decisions. However, guard against arrogance, egotism, selfishness and being domineering.
