Mercury Sextile Venus
Mercury represents the way you think, speak and learn; Venus, what you love, what gives you pleasure and the things you value.
The planet of the mind and the lady of beauty in light accord: a gentle influence, that inclines one to use the mind for pleasure — to read for delight, to look at art, to hear music, to converse with friends. It puts the native in contact with the affections, and gives them the speech to say them: they express the love and friendship that at other times shyness would silence. The appreciation of the beautiful is alive — it is well to surround oneself with what is pleasing, which lifts the spirit. It is of these serene and cordial moments that the harder ones are justified. A light grace in speech and in dealings, that sweetens the day and draws near without effort.
