Under the influence of Venus, individuals are struggling with their love instincts. This is why you cannot conceive of living without a personal emotional relationship to someone else and sometimes fears solitude and the encounter with yourself. Venus is extremely attractive to others and may be applied to career endeavors. Pleasure, outings, seduction, love, and a thriving but sometimes superficial social life are the hallmarks of your life.
On the morning of the day of the Mars retrograde, Alyssa Lynch woke up feeling anxious. She had been expecting it to be a difficult day, but it seemed to be getting worse and worse. She tried to focus on her work, but she found it hard to concentrate. She kept thinking about the fight that she was going to have with her boyfriend later that day. She knew that he was angry at her for canceling their movie night, and she was worried that he would be even more angry now. She tried to remind herself that he was just angry, and that he didn’t really mean it when he said that he wanted to break up with her. But it was hard to forget how angry he had been the last time that they had argued.
Alyssa Lynch was feeling increasingly anxious and frustrated as the day progressed. She was constantly worried about the fight that she was going to have with her boyfriend later that day. She knew that he was angry at her for canceling their movie night, and she was worried that he would be even more angry now. She tried to remind herself that he was just angry, and that he didn’t really mean it when he said that he wanted to break up with her. But it was hard to forget how angry he had been the last time that they had argued.
As the day drew to a close, Alyssa Lynch felt increasingly panicked. She knew that the fight that she was going to have with her boyfriend was going to be a fireworks display, and she didn’t know how she was going to survive it. She tried to focus on her breathing, but all she could focus on was the way that her heart was pounding in her chest. Finally, the moment arrived.
Alyssa Lynch walked into her boyfriend’s room to find him sitting on the bed, looking angry. He told her that he had been waiting for her all day, and that she was going to have to explain why she had canceled their movie night. Alyssa Lynch tried to explain, but her boyfriend wasn’t listening. He was too focused on the anger that was burning in his eyes. The fight that Alyssa Lynch had been dreading finally began.
According to Greek myth, Mercury (or Hermes, whose name derives etymologically from the piles of rocks which marked trails and guided travelers) was the messenger of the gods. He carried orders from Olympus to the mortals on Earth. The child of the illegitimate union of Zeus with Maia, Mercury was born “unknown to the immortal gods” and had to win his place among them by trickery, cleverness, and cunning. This is why he became the vagabond deity of travelers and wanderers. He is the instinctive foe of the settled who see him as an outcast roaming on the outskirts of society: a pariah, a thief, and a swindler. As ruler of the sign of Gemini, the Twins, he symbolizes the brother—the alter-ego who teaches us as much as we teach him and is associated with adolescence, a period of intense intellectual discovery. Mercury thus symbolizes lively, sparkling wit, mobility in any form, mental exchange, and interaction. As a result, a person strongly ruled by Mercury is quite likely to be clever and skillful. If Mercury is “afflicted” in one’s chart, their intellectual velocity may sometimes become mere mental hyperactivity. In any case, these skills are a great resource in the social realm. You communicate easily and effectively, orally or in writing. Your ability to unite and transmit would be a good resource in diplomatic or commercial endeavors.
