Mercury – Selena Conjunction – The Word Is the Head of All Things

Ideally, the White Moon, or Selena, in conjunction with the planets of the septener highlights their best qualities, ennobles them, and inspires selfless, beautiful actions. However, as a representative of the higher energies of the Universe, designated by astrologers simply as a mathematical point in the horoscope, Selena carries within it a concept of justice that is unfamiliar to the earthly mind, and it also does not interfere with a person’s free will.

Thus, the wards of the White Moon are not always models of virtue. Mercury governs the word, speech, information, and the ability to transform all of this into effective and useful communication with the surrounding world. Under Selena’s influence, the person is perceived as a conductor of higher wisdom, while they may be talking nonsense and inventing things of their own, and people will listen as if to a renowned guru, especially if Neptune and Venus are prominent, which is very dangerous.

Features of the Selena – Mercury Conjunction

The return of the White Moon occurs every seven years. During this period, the native either receives a reward for righteous behavior in the affairs of the House where the conjunction is placed, or a karmic boomerang deprives them of part of the blessed karma of the family line. The point is that Selena shows in which sphere of life the native’s ancestors performed the greatest number of good deeds.

Ideally, their descendants receive patronage and protection in this area, whether through active activity or passive acceptance. For example, the Selena – Mercury conjunction in the Sixth House gives benevolent colleagues, success in joint work with younger brothers and sisters, and also the ability to negotiate the best treatment conditions with any doctor or representative of medicine. Even if the doctor is somewhat rude and inattentive, they will miraculously listen to the native, study the problem, and make the correct diagnosis. This is how the collective unconscious works, along with the help of the guardian angel represented by the White Moon.

As a rule, holders of the conjunction are endowed with a beautiful voice and know how to influence others through speech. They begin speaking early and amaze relatives with their ability to memorize long poems, perform on stage, and find common language with any peer. However, it must not be forgotten that until Selena’s first return, before the age of seven, the child remains within the mother’s field. If delayed speech, stuttering, or alalia of any stage is observed, the mother should reflect on how correctly she manifests herself in the sphere of the House where the child’s White Moon is placed. Speech problems in children with this conjunction are also resolved through fervent parental prayer, because Selena is a conductor of higher powers. The necessary information then comes in the most incomprehensible way.

The holder of the Selena – Mercury conjunction wins people over precisely through conversation and the transmission of information, so it is very good to choose the profession of educator, teacher, journalist, writer, or psychologist in order to strengthen this influence even further.

Dangers of the Selena – Mercury Conjunction

A great deal depends on Mercury’s position in the natal chart. If it is weak, Selena will first begin to push the person, through events, toward strengthening the planet of knowledge. The native meets good teachers and useful contacts, and information comes by itself as soon as they release the question into the surrounding space. However, this works just as well for ill-intentioned people at a low level of development.

Initially, Selena tries to restrain Mercury’s negative manifestations. Already at the first return of the White Moon, at the age of seven, the child feels the consequences of unwillingness to study, empty chatter, and tattling. At fourteen, the consequences become more serious. But if, at Selena’s middle level of development, the person reflects on the obvious connection and tries to find answers, then the low stage prompts them to react with bitterness and to act even more through negative Mercurial tools: gossip, intrigue, denunciations, verbal insults, and devaluation.

Karmically, the conjunction of Selena with Mercury appears in the horoscopes of people whose ancestors carried light through the word: they taught, preached, and wrote beautiful books. Therefore, any malicious speech, slander, and even discussion of other people behind their backs leads to degradation and a worsening of karma. This means that, on the seven-year cycle of the White Moon, everything the person has created returns to them like a boomerang.

How to Work Through the Mercury – Selena Conjunction

Since the White Moon symbolizes the overall good karma of the family line, the native, as its representative, is expected to continue doing good deeds along the Mercurial line: learning about the world in theory and practice, accumulating and passing on knowledge and experience, teaching, and creating something with the hands, which are also symbolically connected with Mercury. It is categorically forbidden to:

• deliberately mislead people, teach harmful things, or corrupt young minds through forbidden literature that calls for criminal actions;
• read books or watch films whose plots contain cruel and obscene scenes;
• gossip, use obscene language, or verbally devalue the achievements and beliefs of other people;
• write denunciations, scrawl abusive words on walls, complain maliciously, or tattle.

The gift of feeling the word is given to the person for higher purposes: to ignite people’s hearts for the inspired creation of a new world. If the native uses it for harm, manipulation, and fraud, then they themselves will suffer from intrigues and destructive multi-step schemes woven by opponents.  ✓
