In astrology, Mercury is the planet that governs how we take in information and express ourselves.
Our ability to think quickly or slowly, convey our ideas clearly, and synthesize and share knowledge are all affected by this.
Anxieties arise when Mercury forms a square to another natal astrological planet or angle. Although this may be an ongoing challenge, it is more likely to reflect an issue or inner conflict that arises at various stages of your life. Many people find squares challenging because they symbolize blocked energy. On the other hand, squares can be seen as a positive aspect because they force you to face and overcome challenges when they arise.
When two astrological objects are at right angles to each other, the result is a square. A square can be up to 10 degrees off from exact and still be considered a square according to many astrologers who accept an orb of 10°. While some astrologers use a larger orb of 10° for aspects involving the Sun and Moon, others use a smaller orb of 6° or 3° for other planets.
Astrological Aspects: Natal Square Mercury
Natal Mercury Square Natal Sun
Due to the fact that Mercury is always located within two signs of the Sun in a natal astrology chart, it is impossible for Mercury to be square to the Sun.
Natal Mercury Square Natal Moon
Having your natal Moon square your natal Mercury can make it hard to trust your gut feelings and emotional responses. On other occasions, you find it hard to rely on your rational mind because your emotions have taken control. Because of the discord between your logical and sensitive sides, you may experience feelings of guilt whenever you express emotion. This can lead to periods of indecision. To make matters worse, there are occasions when you fail to distinguish between rational thought and emotional responses.
Natal Mercury Square Natal Venus
When it comes to natal astrology, Venus and Mercury cannot be in a square relationship with each other.
Natal Mercury Square Natal Mars
Mars rules anger, passion, and war. With Mercury square Mars in your natal chart, your anger can get bottled up inside of you until it explodes. Despite your intelligence, you probably find a lot of things annoying and unsettling. Feelings of not being understood and people’s failure to grasp your meaning make you angry. Learning to be patient with people who don’t think as fast as you do will help you become happier and less irritated.
Natal Mercury Square Natal Jupiter
There are a number of ways in which your words can land you in trouble when Mercury squares Jupiter natally. To start, you tend to be too upbeat and make promises you can’t always keep. The second issue is that you speak before thinking, which might limit your prosperity. For instance, you might lose out on a promotion opportunity because of a joke that seems funny to you. You have an overly optimistic outlook on life, which makes you trust people without doing your due diligence.
Natal Mercury Square Natal Saturn
You may be more reserved than the average person if your natal astrology chart shows Mercury square Saturn. Even as a young child, you might have struggled to communicate due to a hearing loss or speech impediment. This facet is all about the struggle between using your brain and communicating within certain limits. You may be unable to express yourself freely because you were embarrassed as a child. One possible explanation is that you suffer from social anxiety or just enjoy spending most of your time at home.
Natal Mercury Square Natal Uranus
Uranus is considered to be in Mercury’s “higher octave” in contemporary astrology. A lot of the same things are there, but it’s much worse. When Uranus is in the picture, it amps up Mercury’s speed and turns it into erratic change. Before its time in Uranus comes to a close, Mercury’s sharp tongue becomes a potent revolutionary. Your intelligence and wit will get you far, but they won’t win you many friends when these two planets square each other. You might be the type of person who insists on being correct no matter what. On the other hand, you could play “devil’s advocate” and purposefully make people angry by saying things they don’t mean. A more empathetic person can be an asset to any community.
Natal Mercury Square Natal Neptune
With this aspect, you can’t help but let your mind wander. It’s not easy for you to tell the difference between reality and fantasy. You have difficulty expressing yourself verbally. If you’re having trouble connecting with a power greater than yourself, you might be experiencing a spiritual disconnection. Simultaneously, you find it difficult to establish personal boundaries. It might be easier for you to adopt their habits and interests than to attempt to connect with them verbally, so you might do it without hesitation. You can develop your independence by focusing on your uniqueness and standing up for yourself.
Natal Mercury Square Natal Pluto
In a natal chart, an obsession can develop when Mercury squares Pluto. One symptom of this condition is an obsession with recalling every single word you’ve ever spoken in social situations. An additional symptom is a pathological preoccupation with expanding one’s knowledge in a particular area. While these preoccupations do help you in some ways, they can also be quite upsetting at times. Additionally, not everyone appreciates how direct you tend to be when speaking. You can show the world your sharp intellect by learning to soften your words at times, which may make people more open to you.
Natal Mercury Square Natal Chiron
Where and how you suffered your deepest emotional wound during this lifetime is symbolized by your natal Chiron. When it forms a square to Mercury, you may find it difficult to express or even imagine your pain. You might not even realize how much it impacts your daily life because it is buried so deeply. This facet might be a sign that your deepest wound involves your expression or intellect.
Natal Mercury Square Natal Black Moon Lilith
Mercury square your natal Black Moon Lilith can make you either very quiet or very dramatic when confronted with a problem. You don’t have a middle ground. Depending on your personality, you might be a lifelong switcher between the two. No matter which option you pick, you will be made to feel bad about your responses. Your professional life, family life, and personal relationships can all benefit from your ability to find common ground.
Natal Mercury Square Natal Ascendant
You may have experienced the perception that you are “too much” due to the aspect between your natal Mercury and your Ascendant. Someone may have told you that you’re too outspoken, too chatty, or too direct. Though you’re not afraid to express your opinions, even when they’re harsh, you do have strong opinions. No one gets what you’re saying, or they misinterpret it entirely. Your outward brazenness, though, is an effort to conceal your tender and vulnerable heart. People are wary of you because they sense that your outward behavior does not reflect your inner state. To heal, you must find a community that embraces you unconditionally.
Natal Mercury Square Natal North Node & South Node
Typically, Mercury will also be square to your South Node when it forms a square to your North Node in your natal chart. There needs to be a happy medium between speaking up and realizing when your words are dragging you back into old habits. By breaking free of these limiting habits and patterns, you will be better able to discover and pursue your life’s true calling. Sometimes you have to stand up for what you believe in, but other times, just shifting your communication style can make all the difference.
Natal Mercury Square Natal Midheaven
An astrological angle known as your natal Midheaven governs your professional life, reputation, and interactions with those in positions of power. Feeling awkward around a superior, mentor, or boss could be a result of Mercury square this influential angle. Finding a happy medium between being genuine and achieving your goals in public life is a constant challenge for you. Public self-promotion often falls flat, but that’s mostly due to your inability to articulate your thoughts clearly, which causes your words to become garbled. See what happens when you try trusting your intuition more frequently.
