In episode 307, astrologer Joe Gleason joins the show to talk about the meaning of the planet Mercury in astrology and what it means in your birth chart.
This is the third part in our series where we delve into the meaning of each planet and their astrological meanings.
We continued the discussion by reading a series of passages on Mercury by various ancient and modern astrologers, including Vettius Valens, Abu Ma’shar, William Lilly, Reinhold Ebertin, Stephen Forrest, and Richard Tarnas.
We then used these passages as jumping off points for a broader discussion about some of the deeper meanings of Mercury and the role it plays in chart interpretation, especially in conjunction with other planets.
