Mercury in Sagittarius

Mercury in Sagittarius

Mercury in Sagittarius gives you an honest and sincere mind, suitable for expansion through higher education. The restrictions of higher education, however, bother you, as you are very much an independent thinker, and like to jump between the disciplines. But you do have a deep desire to reach a position of intellectual superiority in your career, and so some kind of trade-off in your intellectual life is inevitable. Try thinking of restrictions less like restraints and more like constraints. A restraint keeps its object under control, a constraint only limits possibilities. A restraint says: “only do this”; a constraint says: “You can’t do A, but within B, C, D and E you can do anything.” Without constraints of some kind, creativity has no form to take, so embrace them and flow forward with your work. In conversation you’re very mentally active, often making wild associations people find entertaining to listen to. When you get into disagreements, you become very direct in your speech and say exactly what you think. It often comes across as a bit too combative, and you can seem too attached to your ideas. It’s one thing to be principled, another to be dogmatic. Remind yourself of how much you could learn from people who think differently to you. You’re a big-picture thinker, but perhaps the person you’re speaking with has some insight into the little details, little details that could add immense beauty to the big picture the lesson available in life are constantly transforming.
