Mercury Square Mars

The Square between Mercury and Mars indicates that you are generally able to express yourself with a great deal of energy, but that you do not always think things out carefully or consider all of the facts before you voice your opinion.

You can also occasionally have an explosive temper, and when upset your criticisms or verbal attacks can be cutting and hurtful. Perhaps you had to learn early in life to defend yourself verbally, or put your opinions across in a forceful or aggressive manner in order to be heard. Whatever the case, the end result is that in adulthood you will tend to regard challenges to your opinions and ideas as a direct attack on yourself, and react accordingly.

In your home or professional life particularly you are not afraid to take a stand for what you believe, although at times if you looked at things more objectively, you may be able to see that you could be acting rather unreasonably.

Mercury Square Jupiter

With Mercury and Jupiter in a Square aspect your mind is always on the go, and eager to learn as much as you can. You will probably achieve this through study and training. However, at times, extreme optimism may prevent you from recognising or accepting obstacles to your plans. At these times therefore, you will need to be completely honest with yourself as to what is and is not possible.

This aspect can also denote a conflict between your intellectual and religious beliefs. Because of this, you will probably end up searching for a philosophical outlook that is both intellectually and religiously satisfying, but the influence of past conditioning may cause much conflict before you finally resolve the issue.

Mercury Square Saturn

Mercury Square to Saturn could be a difficult aspect to handle. It tends to make you look on the gloomy side of things, to think more about obstacles and potential difficulties than about opportunities and exploration.

You may also occasionally have difficulty in communication when it comes to general conversation or discussion, possibly due to an inner doubt about whether you will be properly understood, or even listened to.

Nevertheless, your caution and thoroughness in intellectual matters will benefit you well. Indeed, your tendency to look for problems before they arise means that you usually have the solution already to hand when it is needed.

Mercury Square Uranus

The Square between Mercury and Uranus indicates a high level of nervous tension. Uranus "electrifies" whatever it contacts in the chart, and with Mercury it will be the nervous system and intellect that benefits from this powerful Uranian energy. Your mind is stimulated by visions of the future, open to new ideas and new ways of thinking.

You generally do not allow yourself to get into an intellectual rut. You may occasionally find it difficult, however, to control your mind and find a state of inner peace as your thoughts are always racing ahead of you. Occasionally, however, you may be on a "short fuse", reacting too quickly to other people's opinions before you have fully considered what they have said.

You can learn quickly, your intuition is strong and you have many original and inventive ideas, but to make the most of your powerful mental energies, you will need to learn to slow down and relax occasionally.

Mercury Square Neptune

The Square between Mercury and Neptune indicates that your imagination can at times overshadow your logical thinking. Occasionally you may find it difficult to deal with the harsher realities of life, preferring to retreat to a world of fantasy and daydreams where problems do not exist.

This tendency is probably the result of early experiences where you found that this was the only way you could deal with life.

However, if you can control the negative side of this aspect, and be more realistic in your dealings with the real world, you would do well in occupations such as art or writing, or any activity where you could give your powerful imagination its full sway.

Mercury Square Pluto

The Square between Mercury and Pluto indicates that your thoughts are often influenced by powerful feelings and emotions, probably resulting from past painful emotional experiences.

However, whilst you undoubtedly also have a powerful intellect, you may not always be able to use it to the full until you have brought to consciousness and come to terms with whatever is undermining your confidence and faith in your own abilities. You may also occasionally be prone to misunderstandings with others, as at times you may not be able to articulate your inner thoughts and feelings.

Nevertheless, you are fiercely resistant of any attempt to influence your way of thinking. You insist on the right to think your own thoughts and reach your own conclusions. This is not always a bad thing, but sometimes it is necessary to realise that we cannot be right all the time, and be prepared to listen to others who have had a greater experience and understanding of life than ourselves.
