Aspects
Mercury Conjunction Sappho
Your thinking and your lyric, art-loving nature are fused, so your mind reaches naturally for the beautiful phrase, the expressive image, the language that moves people. You think aesthetically, communicate with grace, and may have a real gift for poetry, song, or any craft of words. The gift is genuinely artful, persuasive expression and a mind attuned to beauty in language. The shadow is style over substance, choosing the lovely phrase over the true one, or a sensitivity to criticism of how you express yourself. Let your gift for beautiful language carry real meaning rather than only its own music.
Lean in — Let your gift for beautiful language carry real meaning.
Watch for — Choose the lovely phrase over the true one for its music.
