Two questions involving squares and summer solstice

[Inventor_Occulti _Fati]

1.) I am going to do a mercury square soon. If my mercury is not debilitated is it advisable to do a square to heal a debilitated mercury anyways?
2.) When doing workings involving runes how many days should you stretch it to? Does it change depending upon the working or rune?

Thank you to anyone who answers this.

As the energy is still Mercury energy, regardless of the sign, it will still work in some capacity, but it would still be a bit limited. This also depends on your affirmation and what you are trying to change with this energy, of course.

Mercury is currently in Gemini, its home sign, and will enter Cancer on the 26th. Compared to Gemini, Cancer is slower and focuses more on feelings, rather than abstract details. It is self-protective and "sticky" whereas Gemini is very quick and mobile.

At the same time, we are not talking about lunar energy, but rather Mercury energy which behaves in a lunar fashion. Someone who has this sign still has a functioning nervous system, of course, so we could guess that Mercury can still function in this sign, but its magical potential might be limited.

As today is the last Wednesday before Mercury changes signs, if I was in your position then I would just start it on any day before Mercury changes to Cancer. This is not as powerful as starting on a Wednesday, but would likely be better than using Mercury in Cancer's energy.

The solution here would be to use the runes associated with the planet, as this would be closer to what you are trying to achieve. While the planet governing the product of your transformation might not be in an ideal sign, at least you have the right tool for the job.

In this case, Mannaz, Ansuz, and Ehwaz relate pretty well to Mercury, with Dagaz also being useful in most Mercury-related cases. Mannaz would be the best for healing the mind. Ansuz works well for communication. I believe Ehwaz is good for dexterity, as well as forming friendships.

You would go as many days as you need to until the problem is solved, which depends on the problem. Some problems of the soul take more effort than others. You would probably want to plan 80-120 days to make good progress on something, but immediate changes will be obvious much sooner, although not always fully stable.

As you continue on this path, you will get a sense for what you need to work on and with how much effort. Not everything needs to be fixed 100% all the way through. It is better to prioritize efforts.

Thank you for the thorough response.
It can be hard to communicate emotions through text, but I really appreciate it.

I asked the first question just in case it would be advisable to do a working like that for a new member. I am new to astrology so I wondered if a planet could have various degrees of negative karma. For example, in comparison to someone who has a debilitated mercury, I have a moderately debilitated mercury or something. I am not a competent astrologer, yet, so I figured I would ask so I could begin a working now to remove any negative karma.

I'm sure that you can tell I am a bit ignorant.

I ended up starting a mercury square yesterday for finishing mastering Latin. I didn't want to miss starting a summer solstice mercury square.

I have been doing a working with Nauthiz to improve willpower. I started this the day before my initial post.
I am the imaginative sort of person with an uncontrolled mind. I have an excess of air and fire in my natal chart. I also never really established control of my mind before coming to Satanism. I let any thought come into my mind whenever and ran with it. My lower willpower has caused issues for me in real life and Satanism.
I decided that gaining a stronger will now would probably be the best first working I could do.
More will power means a focused mind, less disturbing/disgusting intrusive thoughts, and more efficient witchcraft and meditation. If I get a stronger will now all subsequent workings and spiritual warfare will be more efficient.
If need be I will stretch this to 120 days like you recommended.

You were right about the immediate changes too. Right after I finished the working being as industrious as I desired was much easier. Can't wait to see how I am after 80-120 days.
