You walk through the park, admiring the autumn leaves as they rustle in the wind. As you walk, you feel a presence behind you. You turn to see Big T, the biggest man you have ever seen.

“Hey,” he says, “I thought I’d catch up to you.”

You feel a sudden fear in your chest. What should you do?

“I didn’t mean to scare you,” Big T says, “I just wanted to talk.”

You hesitate for a moment, but then decide to go with him. You don’t want to be alone.

“So, what do you do?” Big T asks.

You hesitate, but then you decide to tell him the truth.

“I’m a writer,” you say.

Big T looks impressed.

“Really?” he says. “What do you write about?”

You hesitate for a moment, but then you decide to tell him the truth.

“I write about war,” you say. “I write about the conflict between the Greeks and the Marsians.”

Big T looks surprised.

“Really?” he says. “I’ve never heard of that before.”

You nod.

“It’s a pretty interesting topic,” you say. “I’m glad you like it.”

Big T looks impressed.

“I do,” he says. “I think it’s a great idea to write about these things. It’s important to remember our history.”

You nod.

“I know,” you say. “It’s important to remember our history.”

The sun was the source of all warmth and life. It was worshipped by humanity from the dawn of time, and it embodied the principle of cohesion and harmony. Various subordinates – aka planets – revolved around it. In terms of psychological symbolism, the sun corresponds to the center of an individual, the factor that rules your psyche. Its luminous aspects were usually associated with knowledge and consciousness. As a creator of life, it was related to the image of the mother and the influence of motherhood on an individual’s consciousness and ideals. As a result, the sun’s position in a birth chart always indicated the way in which an individual would relate to their goals and ideals, what their ambitions and aspirations might involve. A person whose chart was strongly “solar” usually identified very positively with motherhood. Your personality was friendly, energetic, and creative, with high ideals and a firm determination to accomplish them. You took your own superiority and authority over others for granted, and you had a natural ability to command the attention and admiration of an audience. You were a born leader who enjoyed being in the limelight and may behaved somewhat theatrically or with dramatic exaggeration. You had definite artistic leanings. The sense of your ideals was evident to you and may lead you to be somewhat self-focused. If ill-directed, your deep aspirations may lead to such faults as egotism, selfishness, or greediness for power.

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.

Big T, the planet that rules your rising sign, is located in the tenth house of the sky. This means that this planet is particularly important in your theme, and it contains several planets which can be very helpful in your life.
