Truth, fairness and justice is valued with Mercury in Libra, so intentionally misleading biases will not go unnoticed. Prioritizing rational, truthful perspectives is essential to bringing real resolutions.
Libra wants balance, but can also be indecisive with so many perspectives to think about. Mercury in Libra is not able to easily make the best decisions, as Mercury tends to have a superficial perspective on things, and doesn’t look too deep into all sides of a story before quickly forming an opinion.
Since we live in a world of duality, (left and right, up and down, night and day, yin and yang) there will always be a different point of view to contend with. Intelligence and honesty are necessities for creating balance. Look at both sides of the topic of discussion to find the truth. Of course, stubborn, biased views can create wedges. If there is opposition to a train of thought, we can expect debates to go around in circles as people weigh the issues trying to get to the real truth.
The issue with thoughts and words, is that they can be manipulated to intentionally alter perceptions and beliefs, and there are plenty of people that do so to get a leg up.
Luckily, Mercury in Libra can encourage the voice of reason to be priority, which can build bridges and soften rough edges to bring people back into harmony.

Salespeople are notorious at sweet-talking to get into your pockets. If they point out only the positives, try to see the other side as well so you can make a more informed, well rounded decision.
Poets and writers can find this placement works well. An attraction to beautiful phrases and words is emphasized. If you’re a budding writer, this would be a great time to start journaling, or start your own blog. A desire to read romance novels and learning more about relationships is suggested.
