How does Mercury in Libra think?
Mercury in Libra works in a balanced, fair way. The mind weighs every idea from two sides; it sees both the for and against of a matter and tries to understand each party. A Libra Mercury is objective and conciliatory — it prefers reaching a balanced judgement over cutting things short.
It has a relational intelligence; it thinks best by talking ideas over with others and comparing. But because it sees every angle it can struggle to decide. It works best in a thinking environment where fairness, reciprocity and grace matter.
