If you called her on it and told her how her words really hurt someone, she would try to apologize and MAKE IT TEN TIMES WORSE! It sextile Neptune, trines Saturn, but squares Uranus and opposes her Moon. Diplomacy? Nada! Charm? PPFT! Cluelessness? In spades! I'm honestly SHOCKED to find she has this aspect. Maybe she gave us all the wrong birthdate? Yah, that MUST be it.

Verbal charm, diplomacy and eloquence. Usually soft spoken.

-----I have been told by many very intelligent people that I am eloquent so I tend to agree . I can be soft-spoken, especially in romantic situations but can also be loud when the time calls for it.

• Ability to gently persuade.

------I can persuade, not sure how gentle it is, but I am better than average.

• Poetic and flowery writing ability (many novelists and poets are born with this).

------I write a lot, poems included. Handwriting is not that great unless I make it a point to focus on it, but I have gotten countless compliments on my poems and writing over my life.

• Avoid being just a smooth talker or a con artist even though it will be very easy for you to do so.

---------I am a smooth talker with the right people but could never be a con man, not that I would want to.

• Humor especially if Mercury is in Air signs i.e. Libra, Gemini or Aquarius or Fire signs i.e. Aries, Leo or Sagittarius.

---------With the right people I have been told that I am very funny, often dry or deadpan (Capricorn rising/mars/jupiter influence).

• Not good for hard sciences but excellent for art and literature.

---------Terrible at sciences but great at writing, yes. Recently I have become a better artist too.

• Excellent for acting and music.

---------Not so much music, but I have been told by some, especially recently, about acting and the facial expressions I make.

• Sales ability especially a talent for customer relations.

---------Not so much.

• Beautiful voice and singing ability.

---------I have been told, often, that I have a great voice. Singing, not so much.

• Graphic arts and cartooning.

-------Yes, I have improved with cartooning recently, like an undiscovered talent.

Verbal charm, diplomacy and eloquence.
-Yes but Mars in Virgo in 3rd on IC and Cancer AC makes me defensive. I charm with humour and insight.

• Ability to gently persuade.
-I am actually direct snd enthusiastic and I don’t make a secret about my motives; If you can’t be transparent there is no communication.

• Poetic and flowery writing ability (many novelists and poets are born with this).
-Yes I can switch that on

• Avoid being just a smooth talker or a con artist even though it will be very easy for you to do so.
- I don’t apply it for my own ends. I advise others in their defense if they have my loyalty. I have been known to write people off if they are scheming.

• Humor especially if Mercury is in Air signs i.e. Libra, Gemini or Aquarius or Fire signs i.e. Aries, Leo or Sagittarius.
-Yes I’ve been told to be a comedian and even new writers asked if they could quote me mid-conversation.

• Not good for hard sciences but excellent for art and literature.
-disagree, I would’ve gone into sciences for a more tangible career, if it weren’t for twists of fate. But the arts is as easy as falling off a log and a part of me, so ultimately that’s where I am

• Excellent for acting and music.
Been involved in both

• Sales ability especially a talent for customer relations.
I did a careers test 15 years ago and I got :the ideal Salesperson. Been involved in customer relations at one of the biggest European hotel resorts.

• Beautiful voice and singing ability.
-Well that’s what I’ve been told since I was little. Was in bands before.

• Graphic arts and cartooning.
I am good at lay-out (sizing and positioning of numerous items on a page for best aesthetics, that’s so easy for me ) I like drawing and I get paid to paint.

• Teaching of art and drama.
-I do find I have a talent in directing others for more authenticity / what’s a logical reaction in a play. Also had 2 kids under my stage management instruction once for a theatre company, but I’m just in art now..

• Sentimental talk if Mercury was in Water signs (Cancer, Scorpio and Pisces). http://www.astrotrends.net/newsletters/your-innate-talents-and-liabilities/mercury-ven us

-Mercury in Leo here, so communication is flamboyant and has impact, whatever the topic. If I have something to say. .

Regarding literature, I choose not to read novels
as I can’t control where they take me. It would need to be light and with a happy ending.
I don’t like films because I feel manipulated by all the parts (the building music, the director using a film to vehicle warped ideas etc). Comedy is fine, but not everything labeled as comedy qualifies as such..

I am not interested in riding someone else’s movie wave. It feels synthetic going to those places. Or unsavoury.
I don’t mind music and home makeover programmes,
I am ok with factual books, in particular fast reference like a dictionary, a phrase book or an atlas. But I most like the net or YouTube as I can go off in any sense. On my own wave of choice.
