Did you hear the news? According to a man who could be president, if you’re part of the 47 percent who will vote for President Obama, you’re a victim who has no interest in taking responsibility for your life and pays no taxes. If you don’t always feel like the ‘personal is political’ mantra of the Aries Point feels all that personal, and if you haven’t figured out how the evolution/revolution being forged by the Uranus-Pluto square is shaping your life, you’ve just been personally tagged ‘it’. And Mercury in Libra entering the Uranus-Pluto square today is doing the tagging.
Actually, Mercury has been playing here all week, but today it exacts its opposition to Uranus in Aries and its square to Pluto in Capricorn. As Eric predicted here Monday, the idea of metalogue has come to play — and Mercury just tagged it into the game in a big way. Bloggers and pundits and regular citizens are talking about how the political conversation just got personal — which, of course, makes it personal. The very thing the conversation is about is arising. Cool, right? But now what?
Mercury (the planet of the mind and of communication) plus Uranus (planet of ideas and surprises) plus Pluto (depth, fear, feelings, imminent change) works out to be one heck of an equation. Yes, all communication is relational. With Mercury in Libra, there’s added focus on the relationship part.
Communication in intimate relationships tends to go best when there has been some real thought first — as in, the kind that allows empathy, and clarity about one’s values, desires and boundaries, a place at the table. We’re talking about working inner to outer. Pluto has the inner covered, and is getting a boost from minor planet Hades in early Cancer. It’s the fact that these planets, plus Mercury and Uranus, occupy the Aries Point (early cardinal signs) that provides the outer (as in societal, not just your living room).
