Understanding the balance between Sun Moon and Mercury is key to both keeping our moods in key, but also ultimately how we manifest what we want. Because these are the 3 fastest moving bodies, they are also the 3 easiest pieces to intervene and adjust! When mercury is out of balance with the moon we may find a great deal of self-talk that damages our mood, or even self deprecation. Out of balance with the sun our thoughts and self expressions work against our own identities! These things are so closely interlinked that I can not imagine discussing them apart from each other!
When we go to the universe to get what we want it is important to visualize exactly what we want. It is important to picture it as clearly as we can, and then to feel emotionally, even physically as if we already have it.
Then it is important to hold onto the feeling while walking away from the thought.
When we focus and focus and focus on something we often actively end up pushing it away. This is because mental focus (mercury) is in some ways designed mostly for determining what we want, and thus has a tendency to pick away at things, because it has a naturally analyzing nature (when analysis is left ungrounded it devolves into simply being critical) When we allow the pick-pick-pick of Mercury we tend to make ourselves feel worse and worse.
The process of creation may flow comfortably like this:
First our sensitivities (moon) react to a situation we don't like, this means we're off course. Our sun (identity) defines what we would rather have. Our Mercury articulates ourselves and the world that we desire (articulates in all senses, both spoken, and just generally working out the specifics) We release this to Venus who simply desires and feels the beauty of what we want, and begins its attraction to us. Mars responds by directing our actions in alignment with what we want (if we're doing it right these things happen without thought). Jupiter then allows us to open to it through optimism and trust that the universe provides. Finally Saturn defines it nails it down and gives us manifestation and the responsibility of that manifestation.
When we fail to step away from the mental, the mercury of the situation, we end up doing a mercury - lunar dance in which we think and critique. That critique leaves us thinking that we lack, which feels off course, so we critique again, and now we feel more off course than the last... this can spiral downward pretty quick, and in this process we get further and further from what we want... and its obvious because our lunar guide keeps telling us so, and our mental assessment keeps proving it, which again makes our emotions respond in kind!
When we find ourselves in this place focus on the Sun. "I am" that is enough. Let those thoughts defuse our discomfort fear and worry. Approach nothing when you are in the "dark spiral" because it creates nothing, and drives away what we want. Once we feel centered in ourselves (and picturing/envisioning a bright sun filling us with light sitting at our solar plexus while breathing in and out slowly is an excellent way to do this) then we may step away from this loop.
Since mercury has already done its job, we can just embrace how good what we want feels and how nice it feels that we are creating what we want. This engages Venus and the process moves forward.
