Mercury has moved country <\/span><\/span>on the 17th September 2012 and<\/span> <\/span><\/span>has now blown into the stirring, restless updraft of airy Libra terrain <\/span>where <\/span><\/span>it will take up residence until the 6th October 2012, <\/span>leaving behind the dry and stable fields of earthy Virgo country (Mercury in Virgo – Postcards From A Discerning Mind<\/a>) and moving into Libra with some savoir-faire.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Libra is highly strategic as well as being very charming and diplomatic. Mercury in Libra, under the natural sweetness and eye-fluttering is a tough and canny negotiator. <\/span>
Libra knows exactly how to work both sides to achieve its goals and Libra has sky high standards.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n

Whenever Mercury changes sign, we need to learn a whole new language and adapt to completely different customs to the ones we have become used and familiar. Mercury affects the way we process and deal with information. Which of course includes how we talk and what we talk about, our style of thinking, how we write, why we Twitter, what we txt, what we like to read, or listen to and how we learn.<\/span><\/div>\n\n\n\n\n

Writer F Scott Fitzgerald – Mercury in Libra<\/span>
‘I felt a haunting loneliness sometimes, and felt it in others–young clerks in the dusk, wasting the most poignant moments of night and life.’ The Great Gatsby<\/i><\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

Whilst Mercury was in pragmatic Virgo during the last month,we had to switch our tuning over to \u2018useful\u2019 mode. We had to adapt to speaking and thinking more critically and more accurately and precisely. We had to learn things in more detail and often by adopting a more practical hands on approach. Journeys and communications would have probably been work orientated or connected with helping out or including doing someone else a favour. We were all more inclined to help and make ourselves available in practical ways to ground our plans and dreams. <\/span><\/p>\n

‘We all have our time machines. Some take us back they are called memories. Some take us forward they are called dreams.’<\/i><\/span><\/p>\n

However, just as we have got some way used to this style of thinking and expressing ourselves we suddenly find ourselves over the border of another foreign landscape, where everyone here begins to ask us to learn to speak a little differently again. The tone here is more harmonious, we may try to say nicer things before diving in with harsher, cutting language and above all we find ourselves being fair minded above all else. Obviously we will still have to say the hard things but maybe the will be more acceptable in a kinder format. <\/span>Mercury\u2019s ‘fleet of foot ways’ will have found great delight in being able to examine, question and disseminate information in its stay with Virgo recently but now Mercury is looking to encourage and help us perfect our more diplomatic voices. We will all benefit from speaking a little more calmly, moderating and modulating our voice in order to make what we trying to say and the message we convey, more acceptable to the ears of the receivers. Being adaptable is Mercury’s forte and it will adjust quite quickly – we will all adjust and find the new angle or is it angel at our table helping us to be effective but more considerate and kinder. <\/span><\/div>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/div>\n

However, it may well be with Mercury in Libra, some of our efforts to avoid conflict and undue upset may work against us as we can end up being the very cause of trouble and frustration we are trying so hard to avoid. In our attempts to get to a point of balance we may lean a little too heavily to one side or the other. Too sweet and too weak or too sour and way too much power.  <\/span><\/div>\n

 <\/span>Welcome to Mercury in Libra the sign of the scales. It shrewdly weighs up the pros and cons of everything in it’s path continually striving for unity and balance. As the dissecting and hyper-analysing of the past month in Virgo falls behind us we want things to go much more smoothly, thank you. W<\/span>hile Mercury is in Libra we really need to understand \u2018honey catches more flies than vinegar\u2019. Yes, sweeten the pill and your message may be easier to swallow but sweeten it too much and it will become sickly. Highly refined sugar is not good for us and it can often take the bitterness of dark chocolate to provide the much needed balance we are all looking for.<\/span><\/div>\n

Writer Roald Dahl – Mercury in Libra<\/span>
‘So when you meet a musician or a writer, you shouldn\u2019t be surprised that they look exactly like ordinary people, because in that part of their lives they are. They are ordinary people who have a secret compartment somewhere in their brain which they can switch on when they become quite alone and go to work.’<\/i><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/div>\n

We are all noticing the change from Mercury in Virgo to Mercury in Libra and the difference is as clear as the difference between earth and air. The mutable, ‘consider all <\/span><\/span><\/span>the myriad options and then check them out again’ of Virgo is being replaced by the ‘there is a committee in my head but the minutes suggest that we need to do something’, stylised thinking of Libra.<\/o:p><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

We are all feeling this  Mercury shift and y<\/span>ou and those around you will want to be more sociable and more inclined to be amenable or perhaps even more charming than usual perhaps even swept away with some stylish romanticism. <\/span><\/p>\n
