Mercury in Libra
Mercury represents the way you think, speak and learn. In Libra, it expresses itself seeking balance and common ground with others.
In Libra — cardinal air, ruled by Venus — Mercury is peregrine, without a house of its own, received by Venus in a dwelling of air that suits its wit. Hence a balanced mind, given to comparison and to just measure, that weighs the two pans before inclining. The word is courteous, harmonious, skilled in agreement and in negotiation; it seeks the middle course and consensus. It inclines to impartial judgement, to an eloquence that reconciles, to dealing with partners and associates, to the art of measuring contracts and reasons. It tends to postpone the decision for seeing both sides too well. It gives a talent for diplomacy, for law and for all that requires weighing with grace. The danger lies in indecision: to weigh without end and never conclude, to please all by wounding none, to let the search for the fair agreement slacken the nerve of firm judgement.
