Mercury in the signs - Libra

With ease and elegance

Terminartors

Although much depends on the position of Venus in the chart, this Mercury is polite, elegant, eloquent and sociable and knows what to say in every situation. He is a diplomat. For Mercury in Libra, debates need to be fair and balanced and, ideally, all discussions end to the benefit of everyone- or at least so he likes to think.

Someone with this placement has a special sensitivity to keeping the peace and harmony. Mercury in Libra does well in all areas where an eye for detailed design is required, such as architecture. He also does well in all environments where contracts need to be negotiated – although he seeks harmony, Libra is also a relatively cold sign so, at the same time, he won’t be afraid to stand his ground if he believes things aren’t right, just and equal. People with a preponderance of air signs in their chart will observe discussions from a cool distance and like a chess player, Mercury in Libra will wait to make his next move to add to the debate from yet another angle. If Venus is in a good position in the chart, then someone with Mercury in Libra tends to be a successful deal-maker, negotiator and also Chairperson.

The downside is that someone with Mercury in Libra can be so eager to please that he can’t make up his mind. At times, there seems to be an endless lack of ability to make a decision and a change of mind seems all too frequent.
