Freddie Mercury was very immersed in Astrology when he was in his early 20s. He even designed logo for the "Queen" featuring name of the band and all signs of each member: crab representing Brian May (his sun sign is cancer), two lions representing Roger Taylor and John Deacon (they both were born under leo sign) and two fairies representing himself (Freddie Mercury was born under sign of Virgo).

In traditional astrology virgo sign is ruled by the planet Mercury and this is where he got his surname from.

In the song "My Fairy King" he pens a line that goes, "Mother Mercury, look what they've done to me". He changed his stage name from Farrokh Bulsara to Freddie Mercury soon afterwards.
