Mercury and Jupiter in Your Birth Chart

Conjunction: Mercury and Jupiter

Jupiter expands your knowledge and broadens your horizons, but it inclines you more toward philosophical thinking and fuels an interest in how the world works and in the processes that bear directly on society: religion, politics, law, and much more. You take extra interest in the culture and traditions of other countries, which is why travel matters to you and gives you special pleasure. Trips and travels bring you a steady flow of new impressions and information.

This aspect often gives you an urge to move on to somewhere new. It turns up in the birth charts of people who move to other cities and countries, and of people who have changed their religious views.

Harmonious aspects: Mercury and Jupiter

Thanks to this aspect, you have a sense of justice, but you know how to forgive, showing generosity or leniency. The harmony of Mercury and Jupiter lets you look at situations and people from every angle. People with this aspect aren't inclined to condemn others, because they weigh all the pluses and minuses, the strengths and weaknesses. Even in the sharpest disagreements, you can show remarkable calm and hold constructive negotiations without raising the temperature of the conflict.

This aspect lets you feel comfortable in public and enjoy your audience; your goals and pursuits should connect you with as many people as possible. You have enough warmth and goodwill to charm even the envious and your enemies. Such an aspect creates advantages in teaching, consulting, law, politics, and religion, and gives you the ability to educate, guide, persuade, and influence people through your authority.

Challenging aspects: Mercury and Jupiter

Loneliness is bad for you. A connection with the outside world is extremely important to you, and so is what other people think of you, your image and public persona. Conversation, the most popular way of making yourself known, can stand in for love and family relationships, at least for a period.

The pull toward freedom and variety, combined with impulsiveness and superficiality, can in the end leave your pursuits, interests, and hobbies unsettled, with you trying your hand at different things and not taking things seriously enough.
