Mercury
at 27 degrees Scorpio sextiles Mars in Virgo at 11:35 am Tuesday. One
can use one's verbal skills (Mercury) to convince (Mars) others of
the correctness of your opinion. Mental and physical energy can be
high, easily outpacing that of co-workers, so you might be better off
working alone at your own quick tempo. Good for sports that require
eye-hand coordination, or for crafts and skilled labor. Note that
this Mars is very, very nit-picky and will split hairs to make a
point, since it is in Virgo.
Mercury enters Sag at
9:42 pm Wednesday. Bear in mind
that Mercury is in the sign of its detriment in Sag, since it rules
the opposite sign Gemini. That means that while the mind may be
nimble here, the conclusions it draws may be quite careless of the
facts. The mind is in other words, too prone to hasty conclusions.
Theories may have no or too few facts to back them up. Nevertheless
Sag is very inclined to self-righteous pomposity in presenting his
conclusions as obvious fact. Powers of concentration can be weak, and
memory can be unreliable. However, this Mercury can be very blessed
with accurate hunches. Tends to be unfailingly honest, often blurting
out what he thinks without couching his words in gentle consideration
of others' feelings. Famous people with Mercury in Sag include: opera
singer Joan Sutherland, author Rudyard Kipling, Joan of Arc, Frank
Sinatra, J Paul Getty, author J D Salinger, Charles de Gaulle, John
Osborne, and playwright Eugene Ionesco.
Mercury at 2 degrees
Sag squares Neptune in Pisces at 4:31 pm Friday. Call
this the perfect wrong-way Mercury, who sets out for his destination
and winds up 100 miles away at a gas station, calling the auto
service for directions. One can be extra sensitive to other people's
emotions, even empathetic or psychic. Might even feel kind of spacey,
so it might be best to let someone else drive. Will need to make an
extra effort to make sure messages are clearly understood. Can be
extra sensitive to music or art, too, so it might be a good day to
visit a gallery or museum.
Mars enters Libra at
3:41 pm Saturday. This ingress
is of another planet into the sign of its detriment – recall that
Mars rules the opposite sign Aries. This Mars can be almost militant
about maintaining peace at any price, sometimes squelching dissent to
maintain the appearance of harmony. In a mature Libra, this Mars is
good at initiating
contact to air differences. Only then can a peace based on truth be
established. Can be outraged at injustice – and frequently
outraged! A born protester. Can make a good judge if disciplined and
self-controlled. Mars in Libra is good at weighing the merits of both
sides of an argument or legal case, and drawing a fair judgment. This
Mars can be either very good or very bad!
Famous
people with Mars in Libra include: rocker and peace protester John
Lennon, actor Richard Burton, Johnny Carson, golfer Arnold Palmer,
Paul Tillich, religious rebel Martin Luther, authors Edgar Allen Poe
and Percy Shelley, playwright George Bernard Shaw, and Francoise
Sagan.
In
late November, two asteroids changed signs. Vesta
entered Libra and Pallas entered Virgo. By now their effects should
make themselves felt. See notes in each sign.
