People of mutable signs tend to be the most flexible and adaptable to change. They don't feel the urge to constantly create change (like cardinal signs do) or to constantly stick with a viewpoint (like fixed signs do). They're a healthy balance of the two extremes. On the negative side they can be seen as indecisive or flighty by those of fixed or cardinal signs.

The fixed signs: Taurus, Leo, Scorpio, Aquarius

Mercury represents our thoughts (a key component of which is language) and perceptions. Mercury, the messenger of the Gods is the fastest moving planet, by nature it's restless and changeable. In astrology it represents intelligence, communication, language, expression, memory, curiosity, the rational mind, perception and rational thought.
The third house symbolizes the desire to learn and to communicate. This is a process the steps of which include curiosity, perception, learning, verbalizing and sharing. Conceptually the third house represents short travels, relatives, observation, short stimulating exchanges (versus longer term relationships) and any form of mental stimulation.
