Aspects
Ascendant Septile Mercury
There is a fated, faintly numinous quality to how your mind meets the world. Mercury septile your Ascendant is a seventh-harmonic contact, the harmonic of the uncanny and the destined, so your communication can carry a sense of channeling something beyond ordinary thought, words or ideas that seem to arrive from elsewhere. Others may sense something elusive and oddly knowing in how you speak or perceive. This is subtle and not always comfortable; it can make your own mind feel partly outside your control, prone to strange intuitions or inspired leaps. The lifelong work is to meet the fated thread in your thinking with acceptance and maturity, letting the inspired, uncanny quality of your mind move through you rather than trying to pin it down.
Lean in — Let the inspired, uncanny quality of your mind move through you.
Watch for — Try to fully pin down a mind this intuitive and strange.
