- Secret Letters and Love Notes: In a few medieval sources, Venus sextile Mercury was linked to flirtatious or secretive letters- like swapping coded messages or poems with a crush. It was seen as a prime time for clever love communication.
- Peacemaking With Siblings: Certain Roman astrological commentaries suggest this transit tones down rivalry with brothers or sisters. Mercury rules siblings, and Venus brings harmony, so patching things up was thought to be easier.

Experiencing Transit Venus Sextile Mercury
