I like this very much. Books are mentors, both impersonal and close up and personal. They can help us prepare for what might be coming down the road. This has been true for me, more than once, in a way that was totally, even eerily, timely and specific, when I would otherwise have been caught unprepared. I also associate The Hierophant with publishing, very much so, and, less obviously perhaps, because of the Mercury rulership, The Lovers as Gemini...local newspapers, social media publishing, and Virgo for handbooks, guides, research texts. Possibly Temperance in its role as Sagittarius, ideas disseminating far and wide.
I like the idea of thinking of books as mentors. Thanks for that! And, The Lovers as Social Media posting, yep, I can certainly see that. We're so drawn to Social Media that lots of us actually get addicted to it, all while knowing that it's not really good for us.
