‘Mint is a green frost, a spring chill, a pouring of cold water on new shoots. Mint is a cleaning, a making way. Awake, awake! ’

– Maeg Keane ‘The Freshest: Mercury & Peppermint’.

This atmosphere is guided by Mercurial movement, freshness, and clarity. It is the clarity and coolness of mint tea on your tongue.

Mercury is a messenger between time and space; a symbol of new ideas coming through but those ideas are from traditions, dailiness and practice.

Clarity, comes from clara, or clair, meaning light. The Hermit, who rules this atmosphere, is known for their lantern – a light that shows new pathways, while guided by deep time and tradition.
