Child Of Mercury with Child Of Venus
If you ever consider a career in politics, then this is the perfect partner for you. As a Child of Mercury, you buzz from one conversation to the next. A Child of Venus, however, takes in the entire social landscape and then goes about making all the strategic contacts. You can learn a lot about how to get people to do things for you (instead of always doing for them) by hanging out with a Child of Venus. You’ll also learn to tell the difference between the salad fork and the dinner fork.
Children of Venus aren’t especially romantic. Like you, they prefer a light touch when it comes to dating and courting. But you’ll have to know how to show your Venus love interest a good time. Read up on the latest movies, restaurants, and wine lists. But don’t assume the burden of responsibility. A Child of Venus would love a chance to show off his or her own refined taste. Whatever you do, don’t pretend to know more than you do about cultural matters.
This person takes your relationship very seriously. But where you tend to think in terms of “me” and “you,” your Venus mate only sees “us.” It’s nice to be part of a united front, but sometimes it can be counterproductive, like when you want to point out how your mate may not be holding up his or her part of the bargain. Your Venus mate will agree, then ask what you can both do to make it better.
Your Venus mom or dad taught you the difference between what’s fine and what’s cheap. And if you had a particularly savvy parent, then you also learned how to make something cheap look fine. You have this person to thank for the ease and confidence with which you express yourself, as well as your extensive vocabulary.
Whether it’s taking a bite of baby food to show how yummy it is or wading into the swimming pool to prove that it really isn’t so cold, you’ll have to go first if you want a Venus Child to follow. It’s best to introduce new things in a group setting. That way if the other kids are gung-ho, your Venus Child won’t want to be left behind.
If you were close in age, then you socialized together. Your friends were your sibling’s friends and vice versa. You would have learned a thing or two about how to attract notice. To this day, the things that look best on you (be it makeup or a tie) were either picked out or given to you by your Venus sibling.
Children of Venus love to socialize just as much as you do, and your paths cross often and in a variety of milieus. Both Mercury and Venus are designed for collaboration, so there’s an instinct for assessing how best to play off each other. If your Venus friend is quiet, you may be more talkative; if your Venus friend is charming and social, you may play escort.
Machiavelli was a Child of Venus. This should give you some idea of how mercenary your enemy can be. This person knows how to play the system even better than you, so as with anything Venusian, it’s preferable to team up.
Your Venus boss considers your working relationship to be a two-way street, except when it comes to your Venus boss. You’ll be expected to give, but don’t take. Or if you have to, be smart about it. Make your Venus boss look good and others will want to hire you away, so you can do the same for them. And therein lies your bargaining chip.
Not a hard worker, but a sharp dresser, and a fabulous networker. The advice this person has to impart may not do much for work, but it will certainly help you to climb the ladder of success.
