Inner Dynamics
MERCURY/VENUS
You have a gentle and sensitive nature, and strive to maintain harmony in your personal relationships, going a long way to meet the needs or demands of another, before you allow yourself to feel provoked. In love relationships communication is the single most important factor. This may stem from a very close relationship to a brother or sister when you were a child. Even now, you probably cultivate a brotherly or sisterly manner in your relationships, where games and the element of play have an important role. As mental stimulation is so important for you, you can get bored with your partner, and for some people this may mean a tendency to become romantically involved on the side, though there is rarely any malice involved, should this be the case. Erotic desire is hardly a motivating factor for you, but you do have a tendency to flirt, and this can make your life more complicated than you would wish.
MERCURY/MARS
You get into too many arguments, and rarely consider the idea that you may be wrong. This truculent manner probably stems from conflicts in childhood with brothers, or perhaps your father. You worked out then that the best means of
defense was offence. Yet troubles arise later in life because your frank and direct manner makes people feel that you are offensive. You don't always have to tell people what is on your mind. You hate to be bossed around or told what to do, so make an effort not to act in this way with others. Give them time to express themselves without interrupting, and resolve to stop criticism and arguments. Women with this aspect are often attracted to rather sharp men who may have questionable morals, or be rather argumentative types, although this is a projection mechanism based on inner conflicts. Men tend to retain adolescent qualities and act at times as if they know everything.
MERCURY/JUPITER
Gaining intelligence is a strong motivating factor in your life. Attending courses and studies, learning languages,
traveling and meeting people, are all important activities for you, because they give you the opportunity to train and expand your mind. A foreign language may play an important role in your life - you certainly have the capacity to master more than one language. You can be witty and a mine of information. On the other hand you may feel a strong need to impose your ideas and opinions on others. You hate to be belittled mentally, and you may compensate for this by becoming argumentative, or by dutifully trying to enlighten people about what the truth is. It is better to
fulfill this need in some job for which you get paid - rather than tire your partner with your constant need to explain and inform. It is wisest to give your opinion only when it is consciously sought by others.
MERCURY/SATURN
You are oversensitive about your intelligence and have a tendency to work twice as hard to prove to yourself and to others that you can meet intellectual demands. As you put so much effort into improving your mind, you can become quite an expert in your chosen field. However in personal relationships you can become very defensive when you are misunderstood, and in situations when you try to understand another person, a mental block can descend because you invest too much self-conscious effort in the process. Relationships would benefit dramatically if you were more relaxed in this respect. You are reluctant to admit it when you do not understand, and this can lead to an escalating situation of misunderstandings. You are also rather a stickler for detail and can be frustratingly pedantic, and your formal style tends to stand in the way of mental spontaneity. Many of the problems around communication improve after the age of 30, as you learn that communication is not a competition but rather a two-way process in which understanding brings mutual benefit.
MERCURY/URANUS
Other things being equal you have a very quick mind, and you attract attention through your ability to give conversations a surprising turn. You are quickly bored by conventional waffling and you are prepared to say anything, repeat anything, to give conversation more interest. Although at times you can be very amusing, this tendency easily leads to confusion and misunderstandings in relationships. You break the flow of communication - a habit you learned in childhood - and this leads to a rather stressful atmosphere in intimate relationships. You need to involve yourself with friends or groups which have similar interests to you, rather than expecting to get all the mental stimulation you desire from your partner. When you get bored in intimate relationships, you tend to say and do the opposite of what is expected, just to get results. You also tend to make provocative statements. This can be exasperating for the partner.
MERCURY/NEPTUNE
In intimate relationships you are very attuned to what your partner is thinking. You are a mind-reader, and as such you often feel you know what another person will say before it is said. Whilst this is often the case, problems can arise because of a tendency to adjust what you say to conform to the other person's supposed expectations, and to hide thoughts and ideas which you think will not be received well. If this habit goes on for too long, you may find that you start living in another world - isolated and misunderstood. Effort must be made to improve communication and to say what is really on your mind. You are oversensitive to environmental stimuli - particularly noise - and partners may feel you overreact or are over-critical in this area. However you do need to be in a peaceful environment to function well.
MERCURY/PLUTO
You are a rather secretive person; you think hard and deeply, and sometimes you are plagued by compulsive ideas and fears. Much of this is a result of childhood anxiety connected with lies, secrets or lack of communication. Because you do not always let on what you are thinking, you can easily be misunderstood. Put people's minds at rest by clearing up these misunderstandings and strive to be as open as circumstances permit. When your feelings are hurt you can be silent for long periods. And when you are insecure, you tend to be suspicious of your partner. Harmony in relationships comes when you resist the tendency to argue for hours at a time, or to use silence as a weapon, and instead learn to be open and trusting.
MERCURY/NODE
You can have a peculiarly deep mental contact with certain people during the course of your life, and you may feel a particular bond - or perhaps an emptiness - concerned with a brother or sister or some lost connection. You will often find yourself mentally clutching at elusive ideas or memories - searching for words and meaning to describe inner sensations. At times you are gripped by fantastic ideas which seem to have a significance beyond your own identity, though you may be at a loss to communicate your ideas. You might be inspired to keep a diary or commentary on past events in your life, but perhaps your future requires throwing out the mementoes which clutter your past.
