My findings: 

Mercury corresponds with 

• Communication (speaking, publications)
• Transportation
• Siblings

Cupido corresponds with 

• Unions with others (personal or group)
• Art

Mercury with Cupido:

Publications:  Other people are involved  

                   •          Letters from one person to another

•          A typical Mercury/Cupido event on a transit is an invitation

•          Publications for a group, society or company

•          Family members involved in one’s writing (process)

•          People who employ or use writers: publishers, editors

•          Enable the reading/writing process of others through products or services (e.g,    paper).  Muses

•          Question: Why publishers/editors had greater incidence than librarians?

·      Book reviewers

·        This is really common: People who use writing

      Non-writers: use other people's writing, e.g, adaptations; reliance on writers "He depended heavily upon writers throughout his career, he hired 15 writers for one show"; painters who use books in their paintings; movie producer who adapted Gone with the Wind and Tale of Two Cities

·       Non-writers: who appear in other people's books (Dreyfus J'Accuse changed his life)
