Aspects
Mercury Quintile Venus
The quintile, seventy-two degrees and prized by Kepler, is a subtle aspect of talent. Between your mind and your love of beauty it gives a creative gift for expression: a knack for the lovely phrase, the witty design, the artful blend of thought and charm, the natural mark of writers and stylists. It is quiet and rewards development. The growth is using it. At your best you make language and ideas genuinely beautiful.
Lean in — Develop the gift for turning words and ideas into art.
Watch for — Leave the talent for graceful expression unused.
