Excerpt from Patreon – The conjunction between Mercury and the Sun on April 3 takes place on the next Sabian along which is A Serpent Coiling Near A Man And A Woman. If we don’t deal with the pent-up anger hinted at in the previous symbol, this can lead to base behaviour. We are more easily tempted, more easily thrilled by the promise of an easy ‘kill’ or win. These ideas come to mind if we place the story in the context of the Christian mythology that this symbol seems to allude to. However, if we break the chain of connection to Adam and Eve, we could also say that the snake is inviting humanity to get down to their level, touch the Earth. Snake has deep wisdom to impart from the farthest reaches of our history. When the Sun and Mercury unite, there is potential to receive messages direct from Source. The divine spark within has a voice. As Mercury also forms a sextile to Ceres today, it seems that there is much that Mother Earth would like to say. Maybe it’s time to open a dialogue with the ground beneath our feet, talk with our genius loci, the spirit of place.
