Mercury conjunct Venus

When Mercury and Venus sit at the same point, the astrological tradition reads your mind and your sense of value as one gesture: you tend to think in terms of what pleases, and to speak with an ear for grace. Words become a way of relating, and taste quietly guides your ideas. Others often hear this as charm, sometimes as a reluctance to say the blunt thing. The theme worth watching is whether smoothing your words serves the truth or just keeps the room comfortable. The same gift for pleasant speech can carry a real thought across and, in another breath, round the edges clean off one.
