The Advocate

The strength

Venus articulated by Mercury. You can put the fair thing into words better than anyone — the argument, the letter, the sentence that ends the dispute. Charming, quick, and genuinely persuasive.

The difficulty

You can argue any position well, including ones you do not hold, and the fluency makes it easy to avoid finding out what you actually believe.

In love

Talk is how you build closeness, and a silent partner will feel to you like an absent one. Light, warm, and more analytical about the relationship than you admit.

At work

Law, journalism, publishing, negotiation, teaching, communications. Anything where the right words at the right moment change the outcome.
