Having Mercury in Libra, I weigh knowledge. I can’t help this, it’s my natural process. Mercury is in the expansive 9th house and I have numerous ways to consider information that comes my way.

For example, the 9th house wants to know (Mercury) if something is true. Should I believe what I’ve been told?

noun (plural bi·as·es or bi·as·ses)
Definition:

With Saturn transiting my natal Mercury in Libra, I have begun to define my bias.  With Mercury in Libra, I have a fair mind. I can readily see another person’s view of things but this I still have personal bias and I am finding great value in being upfront about it.

There is only person in this world who I think truly understands the way my mind works and it is my sister, Annalisa.  This is because she grew up with me. We shared a bedroom. We have the same parents and if you took any one of those things out of the equation, I think she’d miss the boat too.

Last night, for the hell of it and because Saturn is transiting my Mercury, I decided (Libra) to disclose my motives for writing something in my blog.  “I am up to a number of things,” I explained with a nervous chuckle. denamaria chuckled back at me so I snorted. “Yeah, well I can’t help myself. I just can’t help but do it,” I said.

I rattled off a quick list why I wrote the post in question, starting with my true, high-minded goals and ending with my slithering-on-it’s-belly, criminal mind’s end of the deal.  I mentioned some mid-range stuff that was no less important feeling both hapless, proud and somewhat embarrassed.

Driving my husband to work this morning, he asked if I saw the look on my son’s friend, Quirky Aquarian’s face when, Vid asked him a question with an obvious answer. The answer was only obvious if you were, Quirky though.  Quirky is Mexican and the question was along the lines of, have you ever eaten a tamale?

“He looked at him like, are you kidding me?”

Several people remarked that they liked the format of a dialogue in a blog that I used here: Fear and Faith and Saturn in Transit
I liked it too but producing something like that requires “other people’s energy” and I don’t emails like that one very often. Perhaps this can change?

I like a dialogue (I have Mercury in Libra) and I invite questions often enough but have no idea how to bring about this type interaction. I do know the advice portion of this blog seems to have almost completely disappeared so it would be nice to have a replacement for that however, I do not want to answer general astrology questions.

The soldier had not flown for 14 years – When I asked them two move our seats together we wound up in an exit row.

“Guess if something goes wrong you’re going to have to be a hero,” I said. “What do you make of that?”

“Figures.”

“We need a big strong man sitting there just in case,” said a woman’s voice from the row behind.

P turned around to glare and possibly kill her but she was 80 years old so she shook her head and relaxed back.

The other day I was talking to Claire-France Perez and she told me she has had to tell clients who are unhappy with her forecast. “I can tell you what the planets say and it costs this much. Now if you want me to tell you what you want to hear, I can do that too but I am going to charge you a lot more!”

I snorted and I was thinking about this today. I once had a guy hire me, he was an astrologer and he told me specifically that he wanted to know what I thought of certain things. Astrology things this is. I told him that would be fine and he told me he looked forward to talking to me.

The soldier characterized me as the queen of abstract thinking some days ago and  fair number of people who read here couldn’t see it.

(Do You Believe In Astrology… Beware)

I am afraid I can see it and I am suffering because of it.

I just heard from a pal who got ambushed at a function she attended. Apparently there was another woman attending who had it in for her… started taking pot shots.

She didn’t get very far before my friend (Pisces with Mercury in Pisces) had what she called an “intuition”. Her intuition told her that this gal had these comments scripted. Yep. She had her insults pre-loaded and figured in advance and when my friend realized this she was able to mitigate the damage in her mind.

Now when she told me this, I was just stunned. For one thing I have never had this type intuition but I bet this happens all the time. People planning attacks like this, that is so I thought I should post this so others like me might be informed. But I was also interested because I would never, ever plan my comments.

With Mercury in the 9th (cowboy) conjunct Mars (impulsive) whatever I am going to say is going to come out in the moment – say now / pay later.

This led me to consider what the scripting gal’s Mercury might look like and while I don’t know, planning always smacks of Saturn and/or Capricorn.

So what do you guys know about this? Ever script your comments? Ever realize a person’s comments are scripted?

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?
