Your Mercury, Venus and Mars in Depth

In discussing Venus, Greene asks people what they value most, and Sasportas asks them to recognize the tug between wanting closeness and wanting freedom. Your Mercury, Venus and Mars in Depth puts these two questions to your own chart, looking at the sign and house of your Venus, what you value and what you like, and then setting Venus beside the Moon to see what this tug looks like in you. Mercury and Mars are each read in the two authors' way as well. The Mercury section looks at how far it is from the Sun, and if your Mercury was retrograde at birth, or will turn direction by progression in some years' time, it discusses the period around that year. The Mars section looks at how you go after things. If any outer planet forms a conjunction, square or opposition to these three planets over the next five years, the periods are listed, with the dates calculated precisely by software.

It reads only Mercury, Venus and Mars, the building blocks the introduction speaks of; the Sun, the Moon and the rest of the chart have to be read separately. When you have finished, you might think back to Greene's table of sweets. In your place, would you ask your neighbour to fetch one for you, or would you already be standing at the table before the instructions were finished?
