On September 11, 2017, transiting Mercury
will move into the sign of Virgo making a conjunction to the Sun for those born
under the Sun sign of Virgo. Transiting
Mercury moves rather quickly through the Zodiac and it will not be going into
retrograde motion throughout its journey through Virgo this year. It moves into Libra on October 1, 2017 (moving
approximately 1 ½ degrees each day).
Mercury is a very neutral planet and
actually needs stimulation to become activated.
Once active, it operates mainly on a mental level through acts of
communication either through the written word or in conversation. It helps us when making important decisions
and is associated with signing agreements.
Mercury also has to do with everyday activities, and in general, how the
mind relates to stimuli as well as how we express ourselves, verbally.
It is important to take into consideration
other planets which either are transiting through the houses making connections
to our Sun and/or natal Mercury and which angles they are making. As mentioned, Mercury is a neutral planet and
will take up energies of any planet that it is touched by aspect. Also Mercury will take on the energies of a
transit attached to your natal Mercury’s position in the birth chart. These are examples of how Mercury will become
activated and how it shares its energies.
Getting back to the current Mercury
conjunction with the Sun, in general, it is favourable unless there are other
mitigating aspects that are also defining its position in the birth chart. If you have favourable aspects linked to this
conjunction, you are able to effectively communicate your ideas clearly to
others. If Neptune is involved in the
equation, you may not be as clearly definable as you would be if it were not
connected to Neptune.
With this aspect, your mental alertness is
on track and you express yourself quite well.
You also will have the ability to listen with clarity about what other
people are expressing. The communication
channels are open and dialogue is concise and clear. All forms of communication are enhanced
during the aspect.
Mercury is also connected to learning and
reading. You may want to take up a
specific study at this time.
You may have to watch for over-analysing
during this aspect. Remind yourself that
nothing is perfect in its nature and you may have to settle with something less
than perfect or at least what you might consider perfect.
Your analytical abilities are enhanced and
although everything has to be in its proper place, you have the ability to
rationalize situations and come up with viable conclusions during this 20 day
period.
If Jupiter is somehow connected, higher
learning during this aspect would be an area worth pursuing. Even if Jupiter is square to your Mercury,
you can still work through any obstacles and make decisions based on a broader view
of the information at hand.
Watch for becoming too nit-picky during
this apsect and finding all the little flaws in anything life sends your
way. You can be too discriminating with
this influence.
If Pluto is part of the picture, fact
finding would be right up your alley and deciphering material to its bare
components might be an avenue worth pursuing.
Pluto tends to dig to the core of issues and when involved in any form
of study, investigative work would be favourable.
If Mercury is connected positively to the
Midheaven, this could be a time when you can express your ideas clearly and
define what you can do to help out situations within the occupation.
You should check which houses Mercury rules
in your natal chart as well as the aspects coming from the chart for more
detailed information. It is important to
understand that even if Mercury is aspected poorly in your natal chart, over
time you should have taken action (as this is part of your life lesson) to alleviate
these conditions as you learn to work with your Natal Mercury, its energies and
all of its components.
