Aspects
Ascendant Sextile Mercury
You have a ready, workable harmony between your mind and your manner. Mercury sextile your Ascendant offers an approachable articulacy and a real talent for communication, available whenever you choose to engage it. Unlike the trine's effortless flow, this one rewards effort: the people who practice speaking and writing clearly get the most from it. You explain things readily and put others at ease with your curiosity. The lifelong opportunity is to keep reaching through that open door, turning a natural ease with words into genuinely skilled, well-developed communication.
Lean in — Keep practicing clear speaking and writing.
Watch for — Assume a verbal ease this natural will sharpen on its own.
