Dear Friend and Reader,<\/p>\n

Mercury crosses into the realm of Sagittarius today, coming in at close second behind the Sun, which made its ingress on Friday.<\/p>\n

Isabel Hickey tells us that Mercury in Sagittarius is a bit on the hyperactive side, with an impatience for detail and an array of thoughts that go off in all directions like shooting stars. Mercury, the planet that symbolizes the mind, in the sign of the zodiac which symbolizes the higher calling and long distance, can be like a bouncing rubber ball in a giant library: going off in all directions too fast to be caught, and bringing with it a sense of fun that may seem a bit jarring in life’s more stuffy scenarios. Mercury in Sagittarius is not one to look with reverence upon deception, and can sometimes bring an element of honesty that is wounding.<\/p>\n

Eros squares Neptune, conjuring forth images of faith, eroticism, intoxication and the exchange of energy through deep conversation or embrace. Anything that involves a square has to do with working around something, be it inhibition, caution, old wounds; tension or fear; and a one-or-the-other mentality that, in my opinion, can make a square feel like a switch in a fuse box. It’s either ON or its OFF.<\/p>\n

One suggestion about Eros square Neptune, which I gathered from this site<\/a><\/strong> and which seems to stick with me, is that the relationship between these two entities has something to do with trouble regarding boundary issues. Neptune, after all, is the great dissolver, so barriers and boundaries can be very foggy whenever he is around. Eros is sexuality and eroticism. Perhaps some boundary issues are revealed in this aspect that reveal a struggle to hold onto what belongs to you as opposed to giving it all away in the course of a relationship of some kind.<\/p>\n

I’d like to bring up the fact that Eros does not always entail sexuality, though a visceral kind of attraction seems to go with Eros. In ancient times, Eros was the god whose statue was found in the wrestling gymnasiums and bath houses attended by men only. There is an element of homo-eroticism in this entity that could be translated into the love of the self (“homo” being Latin for “same”). This aspect, therefore, could have something to do with a close connection to a co-worker, a family member, a friend, a child or an aspect of your self.<\/p>\n

And now, in the tradition of a hyperactive mind like my own (which is in Sagittarius) I give you a joke in closing:<\/p>\n

“Knock, knock.” (Who’s there?) “Wanna ride bikes?”<\/p>\n

Merry Met,<\/p>\n
