What Mercury in Libra means for you
With Mercury in Libra, you think in conversations.
You consider every point of view, you choose your words carefully and unpleasant tones upset you. You are the friend who can tell someone a hard truth so kindly that they thank you for it.
Deciding is hard for you, because you see the value of each option and you do not like to disappoint anyone. You may also keep your real opinion to yourself to keep the peace. This can confuse people who just want a clear answer about where to eat.
Love
You show love with charm, compliments and thoughtful conversation. You need politeness, even in a disagreement. Shouting makes you shut down completely. But if you avoid conflict completely, problems grow quietly. Mention what bothers you early, while it is still small and easy to say kindly. That is the fairest choice for both of you.
Work & money
Negotiation, law, diplomacy, design, client relations, human resources and partnership work suit you. You help people agree and you calm tense meetings. People trust your sense of fairness. Making decisions may take you longer. Set deadlines for choices and write down your criteria. A balanced decision made on time is better than a perfect decision made late.
