Moon and Mercury in Your Birth Chart

The angle between the Moon and Mercury 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: Moon and Mercury

Under this aspect, you become very curious. You want to be up on everything that's going on, you try to learn as much as you can, and you handle large volumes of information with ease. You have a good memory and a vivid imagination, and your mind constantly needs feeding.

To work through this aspect, though, you need to avoid cluttering your mind with unnecessary information. For example, you can sometimes attach too much importance to trifles and details, take an interest in other people's lives, and be ready to hand out advice and share your own impressions and plans.

You could put this trait to use in work that involves talking with people, advising them, or observing and analyzing the events and processes around you.

Harmonious aspects: Moon and Mercury

This aspect gives you a flexible mind and a good memory, a thirst for knowledge, and the ability to process large amounts of information. You can use it to take in new knowledge, for example to study foreign languages, which will come easier to you than to other people. You may have literary talent and a virtuoso command of speech and writing.

For all your impressionability, you tend to keep calm and use common sense, and your emotions and thoughts are in harmony.

Challenging aspects: Moon and Mercury

Thanks to this aspect, you're quite observant and perceptive, but far from everyone gets your sarcasm and distinctive sense of humor. You definitely have a flexible, lively mind, but you don't always put your intellectual potential to positive use. Sometimes you're excessively picky and intolerant of other people's flaws, which you may greatly exaggerate or make fun of.

You have a gift for manipulating information, including to reach certain goals. To soften the effects of this aspect, try to be more forgiving of other people's flaws and more demanding of your own.

Moon and Mercury in two different people's charts describe what happens between those people, rather than how one person works. The same angle reads differently in a relationship: instead of two forces arguing within you, it shows where you touch a nerve in each other.
