Mercury Square Mars

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 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.
