Aspects
Mercury Quintile Moon
The quintile, seventy-two degrees and prized by Kepler, is a subtle aspect of talent. Between your feelings and your mind it gives a creative gift for expression: a knack for the apt phrase, the witty turn, the original way of naming a mood. It is quiet and rewards development. The growth is using it, in writing, humor, or art. At your best you put feeling into words with a creativity others find memorable.
Lean in — Develop the gift for clever expression; it stays quiet otherwise.
Watch for — Leave the talent for words unused because it came easy.
