Mercury and Saturn in Your Birth Chart

Conjunction: Mercury and Saturn

This aspect adds common sense and rationality. You're careful, thorough, and thoughtful about what you say as well as what you do. At times you have no interest in pointless chatter and prefer to talk about something that matters. Sometimes it's hard for you to state your point of view, and you lack eloquence.

You may have had trouble in school when you had to answer questions in public. You express your thoughts more effectively when it doesn't require speaking, socializing, or hurrying. And nothing should distract you.

This is exactly the aspect in the birth chart of Albert Einstein, who fell behind his classmates in school, but that didn't stop him from developing his abilities and talents.

Harmonious aspects: Mercury and Saturn

This aspect is a sign of a clear mind, pragmatic thinking, and business sense. Your business skills are far stronger than other people's, thanks to the serious impression you can make on potential partners. The secret of your success may also be your ability to follow a plan strictly and not back out of commitments. You stand by your word and keep your promises. You take a dim view of irresponsible people you can't rely on.

Challenging aspects: Mercury and Saturn

You know how to concentrate and to think and act consistently, but you find it hard to embrace innovations and reforms. This aspect makes it harder to adapt to new conditions, but it suits work where conservative, stable rules are established.

The tense Saturn-Mercury aspect also symbolizes the conflict between fathers and children. If you felt the weight of your father's or mother's oppression in your family, then as an adult you may also have trouble dealing with the older generation, so it's not advisable to involve them in your affairs. It's better to keep your distance. This applies especially to your personal life, if a domineering mother-in-law is in the picture.
