Hail SS comrades and thank you blackdragon666 for this post. Would like to leave this here for anyone (especially initiates or very busy people). 1st post on this acct. not sure what my old one was. Don't plan on posting much but I'd like to contribute as I've gotten so much from JoS over the years.
Had some free time today so decided to look into the upcoming necronom medi for february. Of course went down the rabbit hole of mercury vs. venus rulership. Found a couple of enlightening discussions of this on the forum.
1st a link to the original necronomicon from JoS (click {1586 necronomicon?} link for pdf)

In the original necronom the order of chants are what is shown in JoS. Before INANA in the 4th comes NEBO in the 5th. Which is in the corresponding order to which blackdragon666 has laid out for the year.
If one ever wanted to do necro medi with mercury and venus swapped that would be ok

Great discussion between stormblood and blackdragon666 about rulership

HPHC explains the chakra's rulerships.
The throat is ruled by Mercury and co-ruled by Venus. The (physical) heart (4th chakra) is ruled by Venus and co-ruled by Mercury.

Below is my perspective following HPHC's lead in regards to primary rulership. Read with caution
One can think of the 5th's relationship to being gender neutral(mercury) like this. Consider alternate nostril breathing, we breathe into the right side of the body using the left nostril as the left brain is of masculine energy however the opposite side of the body is masculine(right side). At some point the left/right gender energies switch, I believe this happens in the throat, from personal experience. This is also the last point ida and pingala mingle yet remain separate before the final union as they both enter the 6th during kunda ascension. After leaving the 5th chakra they (possibly) have become so in-synch with one another they can readily unite in the spirtual heart. Have not experienced this personally, more a hunch.

The 4th's relationship to gender neutrality seemed to be more obvious as it's the meeting point between the masc/fem chakras lower/higher, it is the connecting chakra facilitating communication between the sets. However, what is it's relationship to Venus? Perhaps this has to do with sexual union and/or union based on love, consider when you have a had a deep crush on someone, that kind of emotion is very clearly in the chest. A union is also happening at the anahata, deep voiceless communication between two lovers. If we combine the yellow and blue colors together the result is green. So the chakra remains neuter with Venus goddess of lovers as its ruler as she rules the space where lovemaking occurs, where thoughtless communication occurs. When we think of the 4th as a neutered chakra one could think of it as both but neither genders.
I learned much about this today and writing here has helped coalesce my thoughts. A takeaway is that venus and mercury both facilitate communication greatly. The latter is more explicit, discernible, palpable through language; while the goddess facilitates it through the ambiguous, indeterminate, hazy medium of emotion, body language, vibe, pheromones even. The two are deeply connected though and I would like to think of them as equally ruled by both planets (I guess thats what co-ruled means :lol: )
