There is a perfect storm (gift) that will form in Libra in September. Venus, Mars and Mercury will hook up in the sign in September and having Mars Mercury conjunct in Libra natally, I am very focused on this.

I am going to be writing about it no doubt but for now, here is an introduction - Read Art Ofner with a sign by sign treatment of the upcoming Mercury transit through Libra…

Ofner writes:

“Mercury, the thinker and communicator of the zodiac, enters Libra, the sign of human relationships and togetherness, on August 28, where it remains until November 4, 2008. It is in retrograde motion from September 24 to October 15.

With Mercury in Libra, you’ll receive social invitations and experience unexpected meetings where you’ll encounter new people and enjoy pleasant conversations…”

With the Sun, Venus and Mercury in Mercury ruled Gemini, I got to thinking…  ::smiles:: that’s a joke.

But I did get to thinking about my thinking and my pompous thought was this:

There is no end to the things I know.

That statement is textbook for a Mercury in the 9th house (inflated / expansive) but then I had this thought:

There is also no end to the things I do not know.

::smiles::

How’s that for Libra? Both sides, bay-bee!

Yeah, I have Mercury in Libra in the 9th house and that right there is my statement.

What does your Mercury have to say about itself?

Mars Mercury in the 9th has mind tricks that cheer and beside that, all is well that ends well…
(catch up on this story here: (Sacrificed In Public: Saint or Sinner)

I talked about not letting people rush your game in regards to playing cards on the Mercury Retrograde video. Alma asked:

“Would you say that not letting anyone rush your game is a Capricorn trait?”

Alma, I don’t think so. Being 8 and 9 and 10 years old and wanting to play cards with adult men in the first place is a Capricorn trait. I was ambitious.

Strategy of this type would be a function of my Mars Mercury conjunction in Libra. I want to win, see? MARS. Mars always wants to win, so Mercury is going to figure out how and since Libra is a Cardinal sign, we are talking control. I am going to control (Libra) the speed of the game (Mercury) so I can win (Mars).

And I’d do it in a Libra way. I’d go into hostess mode or something.

“Say. “Did everyone get some cake?” ::big pleasant smile:: “I got the recipe from Tammy, she lives down the street. Do any of you know, Tammy? She’s married to Fred…”

::blink blink with the eyes:: while I think. Maybe drop a shoulder. You know. Venus for Godsakes! Veeee-ness!

And then when I’ve decided what card to play, I’d toss it into the pile with one more superficial comment about the weather and a few minutes later I am raking in the pot.

Anyone else with Libra care to cop to stuff like this?
