ALMUTEMMercury Conjunction Sun
Mercury represents the way you think, speak and learn; Sun, who you truly are deep down, your willpower and what gives you energy.
The planet of the mind fuses with the luminary of being: thought and will unite, and the native thinks with their purpose ever present, expressing themselves with clarity, vigour, and sharpness of intent. The mind is awake and agile, eager to communicate, learn, and move — it upholds its point of view even under opposition and wins the respect even of those who disagree. The tradition adds, however, a caution: so near the Sun, Mercury falls ‘combust’ — reason may be eclipsed by will, and the native so identify their ideas with the ego that they lose objectivity and do not hear the other. Only in the rarest ‘heart of the Sun’ (cazimi, a few minutes from the exact) does the mind come out enlarged and lucid instead. An intelligence one with the identity: strong of purpose, but which needs to remember to listen.
