Mercury in the 7th house
Mercury in the 7th house thinks in dialogue. You need a partner to talk with, you are good at negotiation and fair argument, and your best ideas come in conversation with one other person.
You have rehearsed both sides of an argument in the shower, and the other side made good points.
Mercury, the planet of thinking and talking, stood in your seventh house at your birth: the house of partners, contracts and close collaborators. Your mind works in pairs. You think best with someone to think with.
Conversation partners
The people you love most are the people you can talk to for hours. A partner who is bright and talkative keeps you interested, and a silent one would leave you lonely in company. You are good at seeing the other person’s point, sometimes before they have made it.
The fair negotiator
You have a gift for agreement: deals, mediation, contracts, the conversation that settles a family argument. Both sides trust you because you listen. Writing with a partner, or working in a team of two, suits you.
Too agreeable
The risk is losing your own opinion in someone else’s. You see every side so well that you forget which side you are on.
Write down what you think before you ask anyone else.
The one who gets them talking
Couples who were not speaking have started talking again after an evening with you.
