Child Of Mercury With Child Of Mars
Children of Mars have conviction. They’re just so sure of themselves. It’s seductive to let yourself get carried away (and you often do), but eventually you realize that this person only has one answer or one approach to handling matters. As a Child of Mercury you like to keep your options handy so if plan A doesn’t work you lan always switch to plan B. Yet if you want to get those plans off the drawing board and into action, join forces with a Child of Mars.
This person will keep you on your toes,which is no small feat, considering how quick you are. Children of Mars tend to bring out the “machismo” in everyone they date, even if you’re a woman. There just something about their energy that challenges you to be tougher, stronger, and more aggressive that you are. It might be hard to figure out if you’re really attracted to this person or not. Especially when your Mars love interest is daring you not to be.
Your Mars mate is early to bed and early to rise and greets each day as a chance to improve on what came before or as an opportunity waiting to be realized. At first you’ll want to bury your head back under the pillows, but in time this person’s gung-ho spirit rubs off.
A Mars parent is driven by the need to have an answer. You are motivated by curiosity. This isn’t easy, as most parents are expected to be a guiding force in their Children’s lives. Yours may have reacted to your constant questioning as an undermining of his or her authority. It could take years to put this right, but once you do, you’ll appreciate the differences in your approach.
One thing you need to get straight with your kid is that there are different kinds of smarts, just as there are different kinds of people. Mars Children never think they’re bright enough. That’s because they’re more intuitive than analytical. They grasp things in the moment and thoughts translate to answers or actions with the immediacy of a reflex. But if asked to explain how he or she arrived at that conclusion, your Mars kid will start to mumble and fumble around for words. Help your Child build a bridge from point A to point B without sacrificing that brilliant insight.
When you were young you fought like cats and dogs. You just couldn’t help pushing your Mars sibling’s buttons. Nevertheless your admiration for your brother or sister’s heroic spirit eventually won out. To this day your Mars sibling has a way of getting you to ask more from yourself than you would, given your druthers.
This is one active person. However the kind of action your Mars friend craves is usually of the high-wire variety. You enjoy an occasional spiritual crisis or down-to-the-last-minute thrill, but you also don’t mind long rambling conversations that are mercifully free of earth-shattering consequences.
You enjoy having the last word or getting in that final dig. Mars energy is fueled by combat. If you don’t want to be mired in a dispute that feeds on itself, then bring the matter to an end, pronto!
Always take your cues from your Mars boss, even if you can see much further down the road (and being a Child of Mercury, that goes without saying). Acting like you’re hearing an idea for the first time will make both your lives easier.
You two click like nobody’s business. The only thing to watch out for is when you both start to pick something apart. Neither of you will stop until all the flaws and deficiencies are laid bare, which is okay if you’re fine-tuning a proposal, but a bit harsh if you’re dealing with a person. It’s up to you to your Mars colleague to lighten up or back off.
