Good morning. Yes, it’s Monday, and most of us are back at work. Thanksgiving Day is next Thursday on the 28th, so, we’re less than two weeks away.
Earlier this morning, at approximately 4:51, the planet Mercury was on the 18th degree of Sagittarius in the Second House. When is comes to communication, we are no longer content with the mundane. We want to talk about the topics that interest us and the topics that are normally off-limits.
In addition to that, as we grow older and our mind develops, we find that we are capable of not just reading certain new material, but understanding it as well. We can now wrap our brains around subjects that at one time, made no sense to us. These are the subjects that interest us, that we’re passionate about, and we’ll do whatever we can to put ourselves in the company of people who are capable of exchanging ideas.
It’s nice to talk about the weather and the football game, but sometimes, some of us, need more. We need and require mental stimulation, and the weather report just isn’t doing it. Sagittarius is the sign of exploration that seeks new challenges, and mentally, that’s where we are.
Saturn and Neptune were in Pisces in the Fifth House. Some of us could finally be feeling restrictions and limitations in the Fifth House of Fun. The Fifth House deals with fun and short-term pleasure, creativity, and sex. We did things in our twenties that we cannot get away with in our thirties and forties.
Experimentation with drugs and alcohol usually occurs in our early twenties, which is also when most cases of addiction begin because we’re no longer under parental supervision, and we’re making our own money and choices. Having sex, possibly unprotected, with everyone and anyone, and spending money we don’t have-Saturn is pulling the rope back in now. Saturn is reminding us that we do have a future.
Order, routine and structure in our lives can help us build and prepare for that future.
Squares connecting Mercury in the Second House to Neptune and Saturn in the Fifth House are creating tension, but that tension is helping us see the serious side of things. Speaking and communicating can be done in a fun way, but the drawback to that is that no one is going to take us seriously.
We’re dealing with jealousy, and we’re dealing with a system that wants to hold on to old ideas and concepts for as long as it possibly can. The closer you get to a breakthrough, a new idea, or changing the perceptions that people have, the more you’ll be scrutinized.
If you want to be taken seriously, then you’re going to have to first clean up your act when it comes to what you’re putting in your body. And second, stick to the topics that you’re either familiar with or have personally experienced, or those you’ve studied and researched thoroughly.
The polarity between the Fifth House and the Eleventh House reveals to us, that there’s a time to play, and a time for seriousness. The pleasures of the Fifth House are not the long-term pleasures of the Eleventh, and so, we must mature.
With Mercury in the Second House, it’s important for us to ground all forms of communication now. If you don’t know what you’re talking about, or you’re not in the right frame of mind, then refrain from speaking. Wait until you’re calmer. Wait until you’ve done some research.
Sometimes, it’s better to not say anything at all.
