Okay, so today I decided to dive into this whole “Mercury trine Jupiter” thing. I’ve been feeling kinda scattered lately, like my brain’s all over the place, and I heard this transit could help with focus and big-picture thinking. So, I figured, why not give it a shot?
Getting Started
First, I pulled up my birth chart online. I’m not gonna lie, it still looks like a bunch of weird symbols to me, but I managed to find Mercury and Jupiter. I checked to see if they were forming a trine aspect – basically, if they were about 120 degrees apart. Turns out, they were! Bingo.
The Experiment
Knowing that Mercury rules communication and Jupiter expands whatever it touches, I decided to focus my day on activities that would play to these strengths.
- I started by brainstorming some ideas for a new project I’ve been wanting to tackle. Usually, I get bogged down in the details, but today, the ideas just seemed to flow.
- Then, I spent some time outlining the project. This is usually where I get stuck, but I think my brain get into big picture because it was super easy. I just wrote and wrote.
- I even tackled some emails that I’d been putting off. Instead of my usual short, choppy responses, I found myself writing longer, more thoughtful replies. I even managed to crack a few jokes, which is not my usual style in work emails.
- I made a few phone calls and the words just kinda poured out.
The Result
Honestly, the whole day felt… easier. It was like my thoughts were clearer, and I was able to connect ideas in a way that I normally can’t. I felt more optimistic and confident, too. It wasn’t some magical transformation, but it definitely felt like a shift.
Will I do this every time Mercury trines Jupiter? Maybe. It’s definitely a cool tool to have in the toolbox, especially for those days when my brain feels like a tangled mess of yarn. I might try it agian.
