Mercury Lines
Mercury lines collect the four places where natal Mercury was angular; ASC, DSC, MC, and IC remain distinct line types. Scope is explicit.
Overview
Mercury/ASC is the local angular condition inside the selected 100 km range. This is the worked result for Mercury Lines; it remains conditional and does not turn geometry or timing into a verdict. The comparison method is explicit: Select one angle and verify its curve against the relocation chart and place facts. Distinguish Mercury’s direct, stationary, or retrograde natal state and its links with the Sun before reading a line.

Definition and exact scope
Mercury lines collect the four places where natal Mercury was angular; ASC, DSC, MC, and IC remain distinct line types.
Calculation or decision rule
Select one angle and verify its curve against the relocation chart and place facts. Distinguish Mercury’s direct, stationary, or retrograde natal state and its links with the Sun before reading a line. The receipt retains the chosen input record, reference frame, tolerance, and version, then identifies the first step where an independent recalculation diverges.
Worked case and illustrative near miss
candidate site 25 km from ☿/ASC and 410 km from ☿/MC; line family labels retained. Mercury/ASC is the local angular condition inside the selected 100 km range.
Illustrative near miss; does not qualify: Merging the ASC and MC distances into a single generic Mercury score.
School, model, and context variants
Mercury symbolism cannot guarantee perfect communication, contracts, study, trade, or travel; observed conditions and reversible real-world testing remain decisive.
Product, safety, and verification boundary
OpenFate publishes Mercury Lines as an auditable knowledge reference and does not claim a dedicated calculator or generated result. Mercury Lines preserves contrary observations and uncertainty. It cannot replace consent, professional help, location research, or a person’s account.
