Child Of Mercury With Child Of The Moon
Trying to get a Child of the Moon to talk about his or her feelings will only make this person clam up. But whistle a favorite TV theme from childhood or share a secret phrase that only you two know and this person’s eyes will brighten. The Moon rules over memories and dreams, the soft underbelly of the human psyche. Children of the Moon are intensely private and always want things to be entre nous. This appeals to that side of you that loves to feel like you’re “in” on something that others just don’t get.
Don’t be taken in by the easygoing manner. Your Lunar love interest can be just as evasive, and twice as elusive, as you. Every time you think you’ve got a Child of the Moon pegged, this person will let slip some remark or observation that suggests he or she may know more than you think. It’s very hard for you to know what’s on this person’s mind, which is what keeps you coming back again and again.
You will never be allowed into that private place your Lunar mate guards so jealously. And if you’re smart, you won’t pry. Children of the Moon need their emotional space. It’s not unlike what Virginia Woolf called “a room of one’s own.” So when your mate disappears behind a book, dons the earphones, or takes off for the weekend with friends, let this person be.
Your relationship may be more like siblings than parent and child. That’s because your Lunar parent recognized how bright you were right away and often ran things by you to get your take on matters. It wouldn’t be surprising if you two wind up in business together.
One of the things you enjoy is how physical your Lunar child is. Your Birthday Planet rules the intellect and speech, but it also rules the five senses. You’re naturally very tactile, so you’ll treasure the way your kid will simply climb into your lap or hold your hand without saying anything. Your Moon child reminds you that there are other ways of communicating besides words.
Despite your closeness, you may get the sense that your Lunar sibling doesn’t disclose everything. That’s because this person knows you don’t always gauge what you say before you say it. Nevertheless the two of you are fast friends, and your Lunar sibling will eventually divulge all- though it’s the juicy stuff you find out about last.
Your Lunar friend is the only one who will accompany you to that movie nobody wants to see or will read that book by the author whose name is a long string of consonants. And chances are the only reason you get all the way through that movie or book is because this person insists on finishing what you start.
A Lunar enemy will always be cagier than you. You may be a quick study, but a Child of the Moon is a shrewd observer. A favorite tactic is draining your reserves before closing in for the kill. There’s a reason why this person’s Ruling Planet was named after the goddess of the hunt.
You’ll impress your Lunar boss more by curbing that need to race ahead of the pack and working as part of a team. Children of the Moon are very tribal and keep a look out for what benefits the group as a whole. If you show you’re a trouper, then this person will vote to keep you on the island.
Children of the Moon will always do what’s in the best interests of everyone- although they tend to be both subtle and conservative in their approach. If you want to know what’s up at work, then a Lunar colleague is the person to ask. This is one of the few people who actually know what’s up before you do.
