Today Mercury tightly conjunct Sun in Leo.
Now, in the middle of August, the Sun is a very powerful energy.
Traditionally Mercury has very neutral energy. Ancients were dividing planets for masculine and feminine and Mercury was the only one that wasn’t in any of these categories. In some astrological traditions (Vedic) it is feminine. In Greek mythology it was Hermes- a messenger of Gods. It’s a small, light planet that never goes far away from the Sun, the Source.
They say that as a planet with neutral energy Mercury very easily takes the color of whatever planet it touches. Like a messenger, it opens a channel of communication between the source of information and our minds, that is why in astrology Mercury rules mind and communication. Some say that Sun energy is so strong that it “burns” Mercury. Especially when Mercury is exactly in the light of the Sun (like Mercury “eclipsing” Sun). Today Mercury (Leo) conjuncts Sun and trine Mars (Aries), so we have a considerable amount of fire element. Creative enhancement. Possibly also a “drama- booster”:). Use the creative mind, watch out for the drama.
Many blessings! In the picture, the famous Mercury conjuncts the Sun person.
