Merc in Aries Quickening

Ann Margaret, her Merc always dancing in Aries

Haul the megaphone from the watery depths darklings and raise your Titian head. Moving from Pisces to Aries, Mercury now crosses the threshold of this powerful point in the zodiac and our marvellous minds poise for welcome change.

Anaretic degree of Pisces, thy name is completion. After marinating deeply in our mythologies, we shift from realisation to actualisation. Heads above water and stretching beyond the intersection of thinking and feeling, to consolidate all we learned swimming towards this next gateway of initiation.

Merc in Aries delivers a quickening of mental energies, the mind like a matchbook seeking the flint of fresh perspective. Communication takes an assertive tone, leading from the front with disco ballsy intent. Shirking is anathema. Fuses are short, passions are high and brute cerebral force leads the dance.

Not shy of an opinion or likely to back down from a fight, Merc in Aries blazes a trail ringed in truth sans delusional compromise, trading wishbones for backbones with ramrod intent. It is easy to jump to conclusions, twist and shout, make rash assumptions when the wily trickster sets winged heels aflame. If only fools rush in, it may just be the truth that tumbles out in the rush to tell it like it is.

Shift your mental choreography. Find your voice anew. Channel this fiery impetus, its bolshie swagger transforming flagging confidence into firepower. Get ready to take the floor.

She's mad but she's magic. There's no lie in her fire.
~ Charles Bukowski
