You
are, in many ways, an eternal child. Your mind is bright,
alert,
curious, flexible, playful, and always eager for new
experiences
- and your attention span is often quitte brief. You
grasp
ideas quickly and once your initial curiosity has been
satisfied,
you want to go on to something else. You crave
frequent
change, variety, meeting new situations and people.
It may be hard for you to decide just where your talents and
true
vocation lies, for you have a multitude of interests and are
loathe
to limit yourself by concentrating on just one. You are
easily
distracted by all of the other fascinating possibilities.
Your
curiosity and restlessness propel you into many different
experiences
in life, and you are willing to taste or try anything
once.
Doing the same thing over and over again, even it is
something
you do well, is real drudgery for you.
You live in your head a great deal - reading, observing,
thinking,
spinning ideas around - and you need mental stimulation
every
bit as much as you need food and drink. In fact, if you had
to
choose between a good book or movie and a good lunch, you
would
very likely choose the former. You have a creative mind and
often
live by your wits.
You are also a very social creature, with a strong need to
communicate
and to interact with people. You enjoy using and
playing
with words and have a real flair for getting your ideas
across
in a clever, interesting, articulate manner Writing or
speaking
are areas you have talent for.
You also have a rather light and mischievous sense of humor,
and
often do not take anything too seriously. Though you crave
emotional
involvement, it is hard for you to achieve it, for you
are
frequently unwilling to commit yourself to anything, to take
responsibility,
or to limit your personal freedom and mobility.
Your happiness lies in using your creativity and your
language
skills to communicate something meaningful, to teach,
inspire,
or bring people together. You have an unbiased mind and
can
usually offer a fresh, clear, uncluttered perspective. Your
faults
are your lack of constancy and persistence, and your
tendency
to overlook or ignore deep emotional issues and other
people's
feelings.
Your
Sign's Ruling Planet
Mercury - A
personal Planet
Mercury
is not considered to be either masculine or feminine in nature.
Instead,
this planet has a somewhat neutral quality to it which
simultaneously
absorbs and bounces back the energies of the planets
which
are closest, as well as those that aspect it.
Mercury is the transmitter of the chart. Anything that must
be
moved
from point A to point B relies on the energy of Mercury.
It
represents the mental sphere and therefore our mode of communication.
What
you say and how you say it can either make or break the outcome of
a
given situation. If this sounds extreme, then consider the powerful effect
of
the spoken word. The right words can educate, heal and uplift others.
The
wrong words can cause resentments that last a lifetime or wound
beyond
repair. Words can bring emotions to the fore in the "blink of an eye,"
which is also
a good description of Mercury, as it's energy tends to be quick,
fleeting
and often fickle. As "messenger of the gods" Mercury can transmit
musical
inspiration as well as, ingenious creativity. Busy Mercury hardly
ever
takes a break. An overactive Mercury can stimulate stress through a
tendency
to worry incessantly. Hence, a Mercury that can be consciously
controlled
through meditation and other mind control techniques, may
literally
be able to change the individuals whole outlook and ability to
function
effectively. Visualization techniques have been scientifically
shown
to affect the body, from the relief of minor but chronic health
problems,
to the shrinking of cancerous rumors.
