Her­mes “the fleet-foot­ed” is tripped up by his coun­ter­part Jove; the “low­er” mind of Mer­cury needs to be teth­ered, turned and ground­ed by the “high­er” mind of Jupiter. Inspired by the ide­al­ism of Leo, you must bring your vision into the world by sub­stan­tial acts of mean­ing, beau­ty and car­ing as guid­ed by Taurus. 

Mer­cury has just entered Leo; your mind is infused with ide­al­is­tic fer­vor and the joys of lead­er­ship, cre­ativ­i­ty, and love. Jupiter in Tau­rus comes along as a “tem­per­ing” agent that bends Mer­cury’s zest onto more prac­ti­cal path­ways. Dra­mat­ic strut­ting about, declaim­ing on this or that prin­ci­ple may cap­ture their atten­tion, but your pur­pose will not make it if there is no shar­ing of sub­stance behind it.

Raise your col­or­ful ban­ner; but you must lead through prac­ti­cal demon­stra­tions that build self-con­fi­dence in oth­ers. Daz­zle with your orig­i­nal­i­ty; but cre­ate so as to inspire the gift of imag­i­na­tion for all. Sing your joy­ful heart-songs; but you must live by love in pur­pose­ful acts of kindness

Lead, cre­ate and love…truthfully, reflec­tive­ly and soul­ful­ly, for you walk the path­way of self-unfold­ment with many oth­ers who need you as much as you need them.
