Mercury Aspects

Mercury represents our rational mind and is the planet of everyday expression and communication. It signifies our curiosity and what areas of life we find mentally appealing and stimulating. It analyzes and organises and defines the way we interact with others. Mercury in your chart reveals how you get your point across and in what style.

You often feel confused when trying to separate logic from emotion, as they each seem so tangled up with each other. Your emotions excessively color your logic, and your logic interferes with your emotional expression. Neither get to be themselves, neither get to play the roles in your life that they are supposed to play. You think quickly, and often rationalize your actions without having deeply assessing what’s behind them, which is something you could gain a lot of insight from. Withholding judgement is not your style, and you prefer to boldly proclaim your belief come what may. When people disagree with you you tend to argue, seeing passionate defense of beliefs as a positive trait of yours. Many, however, feel it as confrontational and aren’t comfortable with such a robust exchange of opinions. With them, it’d be worth making more of an effort to listen, and to build on what you agree on, rather than solely focusing on the area of discord. Style is the sugar that sweetens many a communication pill, and if you learn to communicate with more style and less force, you may find your audience are far less likely to get their defenses up. So focus on form just as much as content, and slow down so you can embody a greater grace. As you slow down your reactions, your thought and your speech you will find that you get to know yourself more intimately. You’ll feel less internal chaos and a greater harmony between all those parts that make you you. ^^
