It's funny you said use four elements because that is the basis of astrology and this is a astrology show.

So, Deuce, welcome to I Am Astrology podcast and let's begin.

Thank you, my brother.

The last show, Born the Right, I talked about the famous author who wrote Gone with the Wind, Margaret Mitchell.

I want to stay on the theme of writers, but different type of writers this time.

I pointed out the influence of Gemini energy in Margaret's chart, which was good for short essays, and Sagittarius energy, which is built for more long stories.

Margaret also had a was a Virgo rising, which means Mercury was the ruler of her chart.

Which gets me to today's topic.

Mercury.

Mercury was known as Hermes, the Twinkling one, the messenger of God.

A wide range of things can fall under Mercury's significations, but I'm just going to name a few that relates to this show.

Education, writings, speech interpretation, messages, following contests, sending messages, hearing critical thinking, properly speaking, teachers, orators, philosophers, musicians, dream interpreters, strong performers making livelihood from display.

I think you're maybe starting to see where I'm going with this.

Mercury is the closest planet to the sun.

Think about an old mob boss.

Only one person gets to speak to the boss and the boss speaks to that one person.

That person lets everyone know what the boss wants done.

Mercury will be that go between person from the boss who speaks and the person who relays the boss's message.

Being the closest to the sun, you can see why he is the messenger.

Mercury rules two signs, Gemini and Virgo.

Gemini is a masculine mutable air sign.

Virgo on the other hand, is feminine mutable earth sign.

I'm telling you all this.

Everything has a yin and a yang.

It even goes as deep as planetary expression of Mercury.

When thinking masculine, feminine.

An easy way to understand the concept.

Males give, females receive Fire and air are male.

Earth and water are female.

Today we are focused on Mercury.

People, rappers,.
