Child Of Jupiter With Child Of Mercury
A Child of Mercury prompts you to question things. You might think this person’s trying to pull a fast one or is just being clever for cleverness’s sake. But after you start to analyze the way you think and your overall approach, you’ll find that instead of losing faith in how life works, you actually gain more perspective and depth. Born under the Planet of the mind, a Child of Mercury’s inquiries will always give you moment for pause and food for thought.
Children of Mercury don’t wait on ceremony and think nothing of introducing themselves. Yet what you may find a little disconcerting is how much this person already knows about you. Children of Mercury always study their subject before making the first move. And of course the fact that someone would have gone through all the trouble in the first place gets your attention.
Neither of you will stand in line or do things by the book. As a Child of Jupiter, you haven’t met a rule that can’t be bent, and your Mercury mate has a special talent for locating loopholes. If you two don’t wind up going into the snake oil business, then you might consider opening a law firm. You can coax, cajole, and bamboozle just about anyone, but each other. Your Mercury mate is the one person you trust most in the world and vice versa.
Your Mercury parent made a lot of trouble for himself or herself by not leaving well enough alone. Sometimes the fuss was worth it and sometimes it wasn’t. What you took away from this, however, was a self-imposed limit on how far you’re willing to go (or how much you’re willing to put up with) before you call it quits. Knowing when to wrap things up is just as important as knowing when to get them started.
There will come a day when your Mercury kid will catch you in a fib or confront you with one of the hundreds of contradictions you leave lying around. You might as well skip the excuses and the moralizing. They won’t work. But you can take this opportunity to teach your kid a more valuable lesson. Sometimes you have to make slight adjustments in order to do what’s right. This is the difference between following a law to the letter and honoring the spirit in which it was intended.
Your Mercury sibling is always trying to steal your thunder. If your brother or sister isn’t scrutinizing everything you say, then he or she is co-opting your ideas. Luckily you’ve got more brilliant ideas than you know what to do with, so you don’t mind sharing the wealth.
Your Mercury friend is always game for what you have in mind, as long as it’s not a repeat of what you did the other day. Children of Mercury hate doing the same thing twice. The only thing you have to watch out for is keeping this person waiting. Take any longer than fifteen minutes and your friend will move on to something else, leaving you in the lurch.
A Child of Mercury is more an opponent than an enemy. This person is a master game player and will outsmart you at every turn. Play fair and square, but if you lose, accept it graciously. You can always trust your Mercury opponent to do the same.
The nitpicking gets on your nerves. But you have to admit that your boss has an eye for details. Dotting i’s and crossing t’s isn’t a strong suit, but self-improvement is inevitable when you work for a Child of Mercury.
A Mercury colleague may never tell you what to do, but after all the corrections, you’ll eventually get the idea. You can’t go wrong taking them to heart. Chances are your colleague’s method really is more efficient.
