Mercury conjunct Venus: Mind and Body

Mercury made an exact conjunction with the Sun yesterday, and now today makes another exact conjunction, this time with Venus, while the Sun is still just a degree away. All this Mercury implies deep thought process, an extra focus on speaking or writing that includes a combination of these energies. We might expect to be even more involved in relationship than ever, plus vales and aesthetics, as colored by the sign of Libra where all three currently reside. It is important to note that with Mercury still in retrograde, we are introspective, reconsidering all these factors and they how they fit into our overall life direction. Because Venus rules partnership, today?s thoughts and energies are likely to be more about the realms of close relationship than usual. It is a good time for serious and reflective conversations to be had, although not necessarily a beneficial time to talk about new endeavors or big plans for the future. This day is especially good for looking back at what has been occurring recently.

As you reflect upon yourself and the way you relate to another, keeping in mind your own vitality, scanning your body and emotions as your thoughts arise, you allow your whole being into the conversation. Venus is about physicality and embodiment as much as she is about relating and beauty, so that asking your heart and gut about the situation is of great benefit to you now. As you reflect inwardly, the energy of your deep inside will emit from you outwardly, and then get reflected back to you in relationship by another. Louise Hay has a good way of stating this profound circularity: 'When we create harmony in our minds and hearts, we will find it in our lives. The inner creates the outer. Always.'
