A lot of our relationships are based on trust. At times we check in and scrutinize this other person. We test our faith in them, or if they should screw up and be unfaithful or seem mischievous, we pull back the trust and hold their every action to a higher standard.
Of course, when asked, a person lying to you will almost always press ahead with the lie. Soon a lie has been added to the lie, the body language is shifting and a few facts are emerging in conflict. The famous words of Sir Walter Scott hauntingly arise:
O, what a tangled web we weave,
When first we practise to deceive!
What if you could wait until you knew a close friend or lover would reveal their true intentions? Is somebody close to you lying? While the Sun and Mercury are together, it is well within your rights to look a little more closely, ask a deeper question or two and bring up old business for a rehashing of information.
Astrology is the study of the effect the planets have on life here on earth. Each planet has specific energies and when two planets are occupying the same spot of the zodiac, the energies merge. From October 29 thru November 15, the Sun and Mercury will be in close enough union that their energies will combine. The Sun rules the human ego and our need to be validated by some source in the outside world. Mercury is the planet of communication. When these two heavenly bodies get together in the zodiac, everyone’s ego energy communicates its true intentions, no matter how hard people try to cover up what they are really thinking, feeling and doing.
The Sun and Mercury are getting together in Scorpio, the sign of building up intense loyalty and releasing deep transformative energy. The loyalty can be to a selfish pursuit of pleasure or to a cause that remains hidden from most eyes. The transformation can be the intimate connection one makes with a physical partnering or a casting out of a reality one cannot face or does not like.
Read below to see the clues of how you tell a fib little things that will be more obvious while the Sun and Mercury are together. And even though you might lie about it, you can read his sign for clues as well…
Aries March 21 April 19

Sagittarius November 22 December 21
Look to avoid speaking your mind after a drink or two as you will be too honest about the people around you and word will travel fast back to them about any casual criticism you deliver.
When Fibbing: You waltz around the topic with avoidant language
When Truthful: You put it in writing
Capricorn December 22 January 19
You could be involved in a case of mistaken identity and see that your face is incorrectly pulled from a crowd. At work, a group effort’s failure may be singling you out.

When Truthful: You assert that it can only be one way yours!

When Truthful: You tell them what they want to hear and explain that you formulated this opinion

When Fibbing: You get quite forgetful
When Truthful: You can recite a clear timeline
