A Look at it from Mercury's perspective ...(either image),...

Notice our view of all the Planets at this moment.(see image 2)

The Sun along with all the planets have been in one hemisphere of the sky since about November of 2010; the gravity of the positions, let alone the harmony of the sound and light waves, make differences; two of those differences I will relate. I note Mercury's relativity first, then I write the influences described by Astrologers, and my explanation next ...in close paring to each topic. While one difference is odviousis, that we each have our own individual personal views of interest, the other difference is that our visual physical views of the sky depends on our location; and given any location, that view can only be about a quarter of the sphere of te entire sky around Earth. Everyone knows in 24 hours each of us will be back to the same location under the Sun as the day before, and the Sun will have moved 1/30th of the distance through a Zodiac and House in an ideal scenario; the Sky divided by 12, each Zodiac having one Constelation within that location. Because we could start at any time to consider a starting point, and because the Earth tilts on its axis 2 differnt directions per year, this will cause the need for the Houses to be unequal in size and not match perfectly with the Zodiacs. Where is Mercury ? (Image 2) relate Mercury 23°29' Aries, in House VII (7:39 am)

I add the details of Mercury along with Jupiter and Saturn, and the dynamics that start from one point of time, the time of day is an exact time,

1st image, 7:39 PM,(LATER TONIGHT) from a location; because it could be anyone, anywhere, at any time of day; the time is always at hand, and determining the time for "now" depends on many things to concider. Those moments in time, for navigational purposes(to begin with) I include the current Ascendant.

Mercury Aspects Mercury conjunction Jupiter orb +9°33' Mercury opposite Saturn orb -8°59' (see Mercury symbol in Purple inside image at top right of the image). At this moment, for example, look at the Ascendant by general description: The First House or Ascendant represents one's behaviour in the eyes of others, and also one's health. It corresponds to the way the individual acts in the world. It is the image of the personality seen by others and the person's visible behaviour expressed outwardly. The 1st House is in analogy with Aries and thus Mars too, and then the Sun. And It is an angular house, the most important one with the Midheaven, maybe even more so due to its link with the body and health. Mercury represents communication, logical and rational mind, intellectual skills. Earth is its element, it is cold and dry, and it rules Virgo and Gemini, is in exaltation in Virgo and is in analogy with the arms, hands, nervous system. It represents tradesmen, lawyers, messengers; the age of Mercury goes from 8 or10 years old to about 15.. Temperament : Nervous Characterology : Emotive, non Active and Primary type or Non-Emotive, Active and Primary, Nervous or Sanguine type. Interpretation of the 23° Aries symbolic degree "A man lazily reclining on a carpet plays with shiny balls of different colours. A half-naked woman standing behind him stares at him with a scornful and domineering look." Cheerful, weak-willed and carefree character. One has no ambition other than indulging in meaningless activities, and one lets other people run the show, probably the spouse, a sibling, or a business partner. One does not mind their contempt because one is aware that outside the family and work circles, one is very much appreciated for one's talents when it comes to organising parties and fashionable gatherings. This degree indicates that one is endowed with intense sensuality, and that attraction to persons of the opposite gender is a source of troubles. Mercury is in Aries Mercury describes your relations, your communication skills and the way you relate to the external world. However, other astrological elements also influence these areas. The sign Mercury occupies is significant only if Mercury is part of your planetary dominantes. Having Mercury In chart while Mercury is in Aries. You respond very quickly to the stimulations of your environment. Your mind is constantly on the lookout, searching for new information. Communication is a matter of spontaneity and emotions experienced day-to-day. You always have a quick retort, you are fond of debates and you are avid for novelties. The danger is that you may get carried away by an impulsiveness detrimental to your relationships. Beware of bad language! Mercury is in the House VII at this time of day. Mercury in the 7th House is the typical configuration for a person of communication. You find that people are intriguing, fascinating, and amazing, just for fun, just to see... You think that it is interesting to discover the interlocutor and, simultaneously, to discover yourself in his look. You feel irresistibly attracted to the riddle which your fellow human being, your partner, or your associate represents. Your curiosity is subject to anything human, to relations and to exchanges. Mercury Dominant If Mercury is part of your natal chart's planetary dominants, in astrology, you are said to be a Mercurian: the tradition points out the importance of communication. From idle but enriching chatters to observation gift, such a dominant endows you with a wide range of expression. Human beings have one thousand facets and one thousand masks they wear according to circumstances and the fortunes of the game of life. You take the role of an observer who is avid for novelties, discoveries, and surprises. Everything catches your attention and becomes an opportunity for new encounters, relationships, and learning. The world amazes you, amuses you sometimes, and stimulates your curiosity. Because the most important thing is to discover, and because you consider that each new situation is packed with potentialities, you try to fill the gaps in your knowledge. Although your open-mindedness may scatter your centres of interest, it also enables you to carefully avoid sticking to only one immutable and rigid view. The slightest sign enables you to perceive the other side of the coin, as well as the infinite complexity of people and of situations. On the human plane, you seek the dialogue and the information without which you know that you are not able to fully grasp the nature of your interlocutor. This keen interest in the Unknown sharpens your inter-relational skills. All these qualities are traditionally associated with Mercury. NOW THE Ascendant: (AGAIN):The First House or Ascendant represents one's behaviour in the eyes of others, and also one's health. It corresponds to the way the individual acts in the world. It is the image of the personality seen by others and the person's visible behaviour expressed outwardly. The 1st House is in analogy with Aries and thus Mars too, and then the Sun. It is an angular house, the most important one with the Midheaven, maybe even more so due to its link with the body and health. Interpretation is of the 18° Libra symbolic degree : "A crown and a sceptre are lain on a bloc of marble, out of which a throne is being carved out." Ambitious, proud, and haughty character endowed with numerous gifts and a strong will. With such a great potential, one becomes a leader in one's field of competence, or one puts one's numerous talents at the service of a less skilled boss. In both cases, this degree indicates a position of authority, honours, and fame. Your psychological nature is sanguine and communicative or nervous and introverted, depending on who, either Venus or Saturn, is the strongest. Libra is ruled by both Venus, the principle of harmony, extraversion, attractiveness, outgoing and airy in this sign, and by Saturn, the principle of rigour, introversion, restraint, concentration and meditation. Unless Saturn is very strong in the chart, Libra is delicate, charming, sociable, perpetually compromising. For this reason, you may sometimes come across as hesitant and weak because you dare not to insist or to give your opinion. You prefer to act as a unifier, an element of understanding and equity, even though it is detrimental to your own assertiveness. You loathe violence, you spare no efforts for the sake of pacification and you adjust to the situation with flexibility and charm. With this Ascendant, you come across as sentimental, charming, polite, delicate, refined, loyal, peace-loving, fair, distinguished, light, romantic, cultured, airy, likeable, neat, perfectionist, caring, gentle, quiet, tidy, artistic, tolerant, lenient, sociable, seductive, elegant, kind, with a taste for aesthetics. But you may also be hesitant, weak, wavering, selfish, fragile, indecisive, fearful, indolent, cold or even, insensitive.
