Lesson 1: Design Your Dream Relationship
Mercury: Your Communication GPS
My Mercury is in (zodiac sign): _________________________
Glib, garrulous Mercury can reveal your flirtation style. Would you walk right up and tell someone, “You’re hot!” or do you get all clammed up when your crush enters the room? As the planet that rules both social engagements and mobile devices, your Mercury sign may dictate your love (or hate) for dating apps. Would you prefer to meet face to face or are you currently IM-ing seven “candidates” on Tinder? Mercury is the organizer and systematizer: Are you dealing with a neat freak or a messy Marvin? It might be worth looking up Mercury signs before you talk about sharing space. As the social director of your chart, Mercury (along with Venus) can help you plan where to meet for the first date. Mercury can direct couples towards the right cultural activities. Do you want your lover to be your BFF? Mercury is the planet that rules peer relationships and can help you find that diamond in the friend zone.
