For the house positions, you can also switch the roles (for example, if you have Mars in the ninth house, you could seek someone who you can show the world to rather than the other way around).

Both beings, when taking on a form which humans can perceive, at least according to Renaissance teachings, use Air to do so. Their bodies are described as “visual metaphors” as they take on these bodies to communicate something to humans - for instance, in my favorite recount of an experience with a demon, there was a demon following a young man around for unknown reasons, but he wasn’t hurting the man, instead he was doing his bidding. He took on the form of a butler, a teacher, and even a nobleman at one point, specifically while in front of a priest. The belief is that he was attempting to communicate, literally, that he had noble intentions.

That’s why I prefer the term “visual metaphor,” as Armando Maggi calls it, rather than symbol, because it so accurately captures that these beings are using their bodies to communicate something, though it’s beyond verbal communication. And I find it fascinating that Air specifically is the means of doing it.

Also, “demon” came from “daemon,” and reading about daemon in the ancient sense is fascinating. For example, Plato claimed that Socrates had a “private demon” who would speak to him and give him guidance throughout his life. In the ancient perception, daemons weren’t evil, like the word “demon” typically insinuates, but they seemed to be a part of everyone, like a piece of their spirit, or the spirit of another. An entity of Air whose purpose is to communicate is really fascinating to me.

In addition, this all becomes more interesting, at least in my opinion, when one then looks at Libra and its ties to “Lucifer” through Venus, and the pentagram, and so on. Going back to the story of the young man and the demon who was following him around, a lot of people interpreted that as the demon reflecting the young man’s interest in men; it’s a manifestation of his romantic and sexual feelings. These beings of pure air reflect human desires back at us, in a sense. In another account, one man who summoned a demon first had it appear as a beast, to reveal its true form, then the being took on the form of a dog in hopes of communicating loyalty and service, and finally the demon took on the form of a beautiful woman - what the man desired. When speaking of demons, there’s often an association with lust and sex, but in reality, I think these accounts show something much more Venusian in that it’s a balance between sex, lust, and care, but also partnership.

Angels, too, are depicted as taking on these forms of air - it’s clearly not something evil, or specific to entities with evil intentions. And when they take on these forms, it’s almost always because they’re seeking to help humans in some way. This could be interpreted as an act of love, too

There’s a line from In the Company of Demons that I think captures yet another concept tying these entities with Air: “… We understand that the spirits have spoken when nature becomes suddenly and temporarily perverted (for instance, multiple suns or moons appear in the sky, or the image of a dead friend walks into our room and lies next to us). It is a fact that when the spirits speak, reality is somehow suspended.”

While it certainly references physical reality, I think it also could be interpreted as mental or perceived reality, which is also very Mercurian. It’s as if logic gives way to something beyond, as the fabric of “reality” is shifted and manipulated to, again, communicate.

Aries: having their ideas challenged by someone else, especially when they’re proven wrong

Taurus: asking or talking to someone who will only give half-hearted responses

Gemini: being neglected because someone they really dislike is getting all the attention

Cancer: giving good advice, but not being appreciated for it or being ignored

I am going to talk about progressed Mercury! Progressed planets are mostly useful for predictive astrology and helps show how you’ve grown in certain aspects of your life. Progressed planets are when your planet(s) actually moves through the signs, houses, or other natal planets. Progressed Mercury rules over communication, learning, and decision making. There are many sites out there that can draw up a progressed chart for you! 

Progressed Aries Mercury: This is a time in your life where you feel most outgoing and expressive. You might find new empowerment and bravery towards communication. You have a LOT of energy to burn towards education, decision making, and ideas. This is a promising time for a fresh start.

Progressed Taurus Mercury: You are more patient and reserved with communication. There is a huge focus on slow decision making. This is a good time to reflect on your values, self-esteem, wants, and needs. You might be more practical with learning and decision making during this time period.

Progressed Gemini Mercury: A lot is going to be happening in the realm of the mind, communication, learning, and decision making! You might find yourself more social, talkative, persuasive, but also scattered in your communication. While you might trip up and become unfocused occasionally this is a great time to hone your communicative skills. You will have a more restless mind, can develop wit or more humor, and you’ll desire a LOT of interaction with others.  This is a promising time for learning. You will have a thirst for knowledge and can retain information easier. This is one of the best times to make new friends and connections.

Progressed Cancer Mercury: This period has a huge focus on learning to express yourself emotionally. Long-standing issues can be resolved. You can be extra sensitive during this time when communicating with others. Making new friends/lovers is slowed down unless they help uncover an emotional challenge you’re solving. Be careful of getting stuck on memories or creating grudges during this time period.

Progressed Leo Mercury: This is a promising time for self-expression on a creative, empowering, or confident level. You speak your mind now. You have faith in yourself and identity and have a desire to show people more of YOU. This is a period of time where you come out with traits/aspects about yourself to the world. You have a confident approach towards decision making and you find ways to make learning fun.

Progressed Virgo Mercury: This is a good time for education and honing in on your talents and learning style. You are likely practical but also cooperative and efficient in your communication right now. You make good impressions and understand how to better communicate in a polite way. Watch out for self-criticism!

Progressed Libra Mercury: Here is a good time to better understand yourself and others. Learning is done more so via people/relationships. You are honing your communication skills and maintaining relationships. You might meet new lifelong friends or lovers during this time. Connections and relationships are key right now.

Progressed Scorpio Mercury: You are likely much more reserved, introspective, and possibly socially isolated at times right now. Decision making is intense, slower, and complicated. Communication is focused on the deeper side of things. Your communication is geared towards emotional expression, helping others, and communicating with your inner self. Learning can be distracted by trials and deep thought.

Progressed Sagittarius Mercury: Here is a time of exploration and newness! New friends, going back to school, and exploring other cultures/beliefs will be happening now. This is a time for freedom in your communication and learning. You feel lighter and speak with more optimism. You can be highly impulsive and adventurous in your decision making.

Progressed Capricorn Mercury: You are more rational and methodical in communication. You are reserved with self-expression via emotions. Your communication style is serious now and your decisions calculated and practical. This is a good time for judgment and planning but also watch out for negativity, doubt, and blocked feelings.

Progressed Aquarius Mercury: Your communication style is charismatic but maybe detached. You make friends easily but not closer relations. Your decision making process is on a big-picture scale and more innovative. This is a great time for ideas. You might discover new subjects you want to explore, your thinking/perspective is likely changed too. Just want to emphasize the change in your thinking during this time!

By identifying how the elements and modalities of the signs might play into real life, we can help narrow down the guess of a person’s rising sign. It’s impossible to know for sure unless you have their birth certificate. However, having two options for their rising sign for example is better than twelve or not knowing at all. As always, planets or aspects in first house or to the rising sign (ascendant) will affect how one person appears at first. Take this with a grain of salt. Modalities coming soon :)

Elements:

Fire - Look for overt confidence and/or boldness in their gaze, movement and way of greeting. Are they impulsive? Do they have a regal aura? Are they outgoing or laughing a lot? Appearing very comfortable in most situations and not afraid to take up some space? Would you consider them fierce? What about enthusiastic and a warm nature with a lot of friends? Can you easily observe what they are feeling? Are they straightforward or feisty with their words? (Aries, Leo, Sagittarius)

Earth - Look for politeness and one who minds their own business. Subtle confidence. Do they appear quiet, stoic and/or serious? Is there a modest, down to earth or humble vibe to them? When you speak with them, are their words cautious, blunt or honest? Can you sense that they are reserved and grounded in reality? Would you feel unsure approaching them without any reason and not knowing them priorly? Do you think they are more logical than emotional? (Taurus, Virgo, Capricorn)

Air - Look for an easygoing vibe. Do they seem scatter minded? Are they non-confrontational? Would their expressions brighten when an interesting topic comes up? Have they tried to debate about it or excitedly share ideas with you? Were they a little quiet or relaxed at first? Well mannered and accommodating when speaking with you? Lightheartedness. Are they passionate and knowledgeable about a topic or cause you’ve stumbled upon on in conversation? Are they friendly and sociable yet detached? (Gemini, Libra, Aquarius)

Aries: Reads everything so fast…

Taurus: Studies carefully and slowly.

Gemini: Studies while listening to music, talking, singing or surfing the internet.

Cancer: Only likes to study with friends or family around. 

Leo: If they’re interested in having a good grade, they’ll have a good grade.

Virgo: Writes down everything they need to know and studies it. 

Libra: Studies only the day before the exam.

Scorpio: Does this silently so nobody actually knows what they’re doing.

Sagittarius: Finds it boring. Reads a page then goes out for a walk.

Capricorn: Studies harder than all of the others, gets a great grade.

Aquarius: Writes down what they think it’s important. Most of the time, it wasn’t important.

Pisces: Wants to study but starts wondering about life and gets lost.
