The angle between Mercury and the Ascendant in your chart depends on your exact birth time. The interpretations below explain how they interact in your chart, grouped by the kind of aspect they form.
Conjunction: Mercury and Ascendant
This aspect strengthens your ability to learn with a clear purpose. Learning becomes a personal need and a defining character trait. You keep expanding your knowledge in different ways, from reading educational and popular-science books to learning foreign languages and new professions.
This aspect can play a decisive role in your career. You'll be much happier in work that involves information or communication.
Harmonious aspects: Mercury and Ascendant
This astrological aspect suggests an intellectual nature and brings a whole range of advantages: a high capacity for learning, an excellent memory, oratorical and literary talent, commercial and entrepreneurial ability. It's an especially good aspect for diplomacy, negotiation, finding advantageous partners, and organizing business processes. When dealing with people, you can see important shades and nuances that escape others.
Challenging aspects: Mercury and Ascendant
This aspect creates a contradiction between your attitudes toward life and your principles, along with changeable views and double standards. At the same time, it gives you a quick, agile mind, ingenuity, and the instincts of a trader or merchant, though one prone to petty scams. You can devise cunning schemes and adventurous scenarios and follow them, occasionally turning a situation your way and coming out ahead, until you run into an even more talented "director."
