Observations: What’s Your Mercury Style?

© Stephanie Pui-Mun Law

It’s officially Gemini season with both the Sun and Mercury in the sign of the twins, so a discussion about Mercury is appropriate! The sign your Mercury is in plus how it is aspected offer insights into our personal Mercury style.

If you have Mercury in one of the air signs (Gemini, Libra or Aquarius) the odds are good you are intellectually inclined and enjoy discussing all kinds of things except perhaps emotional issues. Fire sign Mercurys (Aries, Leo and Sagittarius) are more spontaneous and can fire off opinions before checking the facts [...]

Full Moon in Scorpio, May 17, 2011

© Diane Lang

What a difference a month makes! On the Full Moon last month, the sky was dominantly cardinal and Aries, and now this Full Moon at 26° 13′ Scorpio on 17 May 2011 at 4:09 AM PDT, the fixed signs and earth are on top.

Those who were able to make the most of the inspiration and enthusiasm of the Aries sky and who are ready to get down to work in a practical and focused manner will prosper now. For those who ignored Saturn in Libra’s suggestions for taking the moderate approach and insisted [...]

Observations: Temper, Temper – Mercury, Mars, Pluto Conjoined

Wow! Mercury, Mars and Pluto are all hovering around 4° Capricorn! For those who have planets and Angles from two to five degrees in the cardinal signs (Aries, Cancer, Libra and Capricorn) what comes out of your mouth now carries great weight.

When Mercury and Mars joined forces recently in Sagittarius, there was plenty of sound and fury but other than being extremely annoying, not much damage was done. Sagittarius is mutable fire and loves a good rhetorical argument just for the sake of argument, no harm no foul. Keep in mind only Mercury and Mars were involved too. [...]

Chiron/Neptune square natal Mercury – Poor Communications

Yesterday one of the mares belonging to the people we lease pasture to had to be put down because of complications foaling. It is always difficult to see this sort of thing happen no matter who the animal belongs too. I had to walk through feeling guilty because I noticed something off in her behavior but without a key piece of information – her due date – I didn’t immediately call the owner or the vet. Horses have a very narrow window of time to take action if they are having problems giving birth. If the foal isn’t [...]
