the ongoing Uranus-Pluto square Richard Tarnas writes:
“With Pluto
acting on Uranus, we can see what could be called the intensification on a
massive scale (Pluto) of technology (Uranus) or the empowerment (Pluto) of
revolutionary breakthroughs (Uranus) and awakenings”. He gives as an example “the tremendous scientific discovery and
revolutions in science at turn of the
Twentieth Century when a Pluto-Uranus opposition [1896-1905] took place. “Epochal breakthroughs” in
technology occurred, such as the discovery of radioactivity and the electron,

In Roman mythology Mercury is the winged messenger
and communicator between the gods. The Romans focused upon the speed of the
planet and emphasized the qualities of swiftness and 'alternation' in the form
of trickery, verbal dexterity and flexibility. Hence Mercury is characterized
as the god of thieves and liars as well as being the god of commerce and roads. .http://www.skyscript.co.uk/gemini.html
Hermes (Mercury) was the herald god for the
Olympians and the son of Zeus and Maia. He was the safeguard of trade roads as a god of traders,
merchants. http://www.ephesus.us/ephesus/mythology_of_hermes.htm
