The messenger · Fire, fixed

You do not pass on information, you tell it. Even a notice about a schedule change becomes a small narrative with a beginning, suspense and an ending, and you check whether the person is paying attention while you speak. You write with pleasure; the message comes out polished, with a punchy line at the end.

The light of this placement

You make a dry subject something people actually listen to until the end, which is why you get asked to explain things to the group.

The shadow — what to work on

Criticism of your text or your idea lands in the same place as criticism of you, and for a few minutes you defend a position you already know was fragile.

Mercury: what it means in the chart

It shows how you understand things and how you explain what you understood. It also shows how you deal with paperwork, with the family group chat, and with that difficult conversation that needs to be had.

Leo

Leo is the courage to show up as yourself, knowing it may not please. It's the sign of what is made to be seen: the drawing, the stage, the cake baked with care for a table of six. People with it strong need their expression to find someone, and that isn't vanity: it's how this sign confirms that it exists.
