Dear Aware,

I don’t know. Were you hired for your opinion? It doesn’t sound like it. Did someone ask your opinion? Doesn’t sound like it. Consequently, I think you are quite right to think twice before offering it.

And from there I would say if you have to ask… if you have to ask and the answer is not “hell yes”, then the answer is “hell no”. And just for your edification, you might appreciate knowing how this shows up in your chart – so I’ll tell you.

Your Mercury (communication) is trine Mars, so you like to assert yourself intellectually. I’m not criticizing. I have Mars with Mercury and like to do the same.

But you also have Pluto opposite Mercury, which shows an affinity for disrupting things with your mouth. Er… you’re the guy who sees the pile of dynamite, and decides to light it. So just be conscious of that, okay? Know your motive. What are trying to do when you speak up? Heal or kill?

That right there is the question.

Good luck.
