Even though humans were designed to have two ears and one mouth—emphasizing the importance of listening instead of talking—some people just have so much to share that they can chatter for days. Whether it’s talking about the latest movie they watched or some hot gossip they overheard at the coffee shop, these Mercury placements know how to command a room and grab everyone’s attention. However, that also makes it hard to have an actual conversation with them since they’re basically monologuing all the time!

Here are the most talkative Mercury signs:
Gemini
Mercury feels at home in this sign, which means this placement can out-talkanyone. In fact, their idea of torture is to sit quietly and still for hours without allowing them to express the millions of ideas running through their minds. They talk just as fast as they think, so they can instantly pull out a topic from the deep recesses of their brain when the conversation starts to dull. Additionally, they have the rare ability to relate to anyone, which means they do an excellent job of getting people together and finding common ground to talk about, says YourTango.
Aries
Mercury in Aries is an especially expressive placement; have no doubt that they’ll tell everyone what they’re thinking, and they’ll find creative ways to do it, too. Though this placement is not the most articulate or refined, they’re hilarious to talk to, and they’ll definitely entertain the room when they see opportunities for a debate. They also like to crank up the volume when they speak—they want to make sure everyone hears what they have to say!
Sagittarius
Blunt, enthusiastic, and knowledgeable, Mercury in Sagittarius can talk for hours about their interests, notes YourTango. That also makes them great instructors since they know how to explain deep concepts in simple terms. Still, because of their tendency to go on and on, you’ll definitely need to stop them and give a signal that they need to back up. Alternatively, if you want them to shut up, says YourTango, hand them a book you think they’d like.
