This is the second part of a series exploring the planet Mercury. In this and following entries we discuss the way in which Mercury interracts with his fellow characters in the sky. These entries are not a discussion of a current situation in the sky, but rather are included to expand the readers understanding on the subject of astrology in general, and how it applies to creating and maintianing a happy expansive fullfilling life in general!
Venus and Mercury "play" together in a way that is generally more enjoyable than most planetary couplings. When Intellectual and communicative Mercury is enhanced by Venus Venus brings a warmth and a beauty, Mercury a skill and interest.
Desire and Intellect/communication combine to create an intoxicating elixir of performance, both from the standpoint of making for grand performance, and the standpoint of powerful attention. When Mercury is out of Balance with Venus (and thus vice verso) We find our thoughts clumsy and our social interactions difficult and ill-adept at best, we may come across as haughty, snide even show an intellectual snobbery. This may not be the reality at all but stem from a deep personal difficulty possibly even a social phobia.
Clearly, the goal is to grow our way into balance so that each part of our lives in healthy balance. Part of the trick to a healthy balanced Venus-Mercury relationship, is simply to remember what might seem obvious. The most eloquent among us do so by listening to others.
It is by close observation of the moods, reactions, and even speaking styles of other people that we grow our ability to be heard. Ultimately in balance the goal is a two-way conversation, even in oratory the focus of the speaker must always be the audience.
When we head Venus' soft touch Mercury's grand wit and skill can seduce a world, because he is learning what the world wants, and allowing himself to be seduced by it! All good things are a reciprocal interaction.
This interpersonal idea should also be understood internally. Mercury has the power of how we think, the easiest tool to change our lives in our arsenal. Venus is about what we desire. If we balance our thoughts with our sense of beauty and pleasure we change our thoughts by pursuing for lack of a better expression "Pretty" thoughts, and in doing so we become more eloquent, happier and more able to manifest the sorts of beauty we want.
This is more than an exercise in creativity its an exercise in sensitivity and values. The most beautiful possibilities raise the beauty of the whole world.
