Mercury Enters Libra
Mercury enters Libra
18th PDT 3:06 AM / 18th AEST 8:06 PM
Mercury enters Libra, where it will travel for two-and-a-half weeks. Under this influence, we become skillful negotiators and mediators. Mercury in Libra orients us to diplomacy, thoughtful communication and adopting fair perspectives. Its pitfalls lie in indecisiveness, in fence-sitting and a failure to make critical choices when it counts. However, because we’re still in the throes of eclipse season, this transit will help us more than it will hinder us. We’re not really supposed to be making major moves now. Snap decisions are not advised. The universe is shaking up things enough without our input. Instead, this moment is for revelations, course-corrections, and, fingers crossed, integrating the teachings being divulged by the lunar nodes. Mercury in Libra can help us make sense of what we are living through.
Our recent lived experiences, our triumphs and tragedies, might be unique to us, but they are not unfathomable to others. Mercury in Libra is social. It asks us to share. Not sure what next steps to take? Totally out of your depth after an eclipse breakthrough or breakdown? Phone a friend! Confide in a partner! Bring it to your support group. This is a time for *relating.* It is a moment of connection and listening to each other. The point is not to walk away from interactions with firm answers. The point is to commune, to create the pros/cons list, and keep an open mind. As the dust of eclipse events settle, compromise becomes necessary. There are interpretations of or solutions to your situation that you have not considered. There are people willing to help you if you agree to help them in return. And, key dialogues will DISCOURAGE you from making reckless elections in the eclipse aftermath out of frustration or anger. Consider this cosmic protection.
