When you have a Mercury in Libra placement in your birth chart, you feel the energy of this transit more intensely. You may feel more diplomatic, understanding, social, and even flirtatious.
This placement gives the individual a wonderful way with words, both written and verbal.
On the other hand, Mercury in Libra is a placement that can lead to indecisiveness, a desire to avoid confrontation, and even flakiness – you may not be able to hang on to a decision long enough to follow through with plans during this period.
While the Libra man wants to play fair, he may find himself playing devil’s advocate a bit too much.
Social and flirtatious, the Libra man is a joy to be around. He is charming and diplomatic and really has a way with words!
This is not someone who will shy away from heavy conversations, as they want to be there for their loved ones.
Yet, making decisions may be difficult for the Mercury in Libra woman.
Mercury is our social planet of communication, and this is the planet that best represents our self-expression and communication styles.
Libra is charming, diplomatic, and friendly, providing balance and an appreciation for beauty in any given situation.
When these two energies meet, we experience a natural flow in conversations, an increased ability to negotiate fairly, and a heightened sense of intellect.
As Mercury is also the planet of communication and Libra is an intelligent Air sign, you may receive flashes of insight or have brilliant ideas pop up during this transit.
You feel more polite, more pleasant, and more sociable when swift Mercury is in harmonious Libra. This is an excellent time for negotiations, planning, sharing your written and verbal ideas, and having important conversations that require diplomacy and tact.
Furthermore, Libra is associated with the 7th house, the house of partnerships – representing the things we admire in our loved ones, the personality traits and qualities that we find attractive, and the types of relationships we most desire.
Listen – Libra loves people.
