What the Mercury IC line means
On your Mercury IC line the planet Mercury was directly underfoot at your birth. Astrocartographers read this as Mercury's themes of communication, learning and trade becoming especially strong in the area of home, family and inner life. The effect is said to be strongest within roughly 150 miles (250 km) of the line and fades with distance.
Places on this line are traditionally good for remote work, studying, writing. The shadow side to keep in mind is restless thoughts and a busy household. Many astrologers suggest visiting before moving: notice how you feel and what happens to you there.
