The BIG NEWS today is the Sun conjuncts Mercury, which is basically an overload of circuits. It's just like plugging too cords into a power strip. At the exact degree and 30 minutes surrounding this aspect before and after exactness, it does not feel that way, instead it is overloaded intuition and then some. But just past the 30 minute mark of exactness on either side it is just too much information coming in from all directions without organizing the thoughts and information.

This is where using the 'Notes' or 'Reminders' or 'Calendar' on your phone would come in handy. This aspect requires a day-timer of some sort so that all of the input is put into the right folder. This aspect 'can' make for really great intuition except when it expects everyone else to operate at the same level. Then it can turn into an abuse of energy and then the intuition gets lost in the blame and point fingering game. This aspect requires you to dial down and make sense of the information rather than unleashing sparks and allowing your circuitry to get heated. [Keep reading . . . ]

The other BIG NEWS is Mercury will also oppose Saturn making it difficult to communicate through your own self-expression. This is such a frustrating energy and as a Gemini native, who is naturally ruled by Mercury, I can't stand this aspect or when I see it being used to make fun of other people. I absolutely cannot stand it and I can't even stand to look at this Astro Meme that I created. That's my hand by the way.

I can't stand to see this aspect used on others to belittle them or to make them feel stupid or to make the one using it feel bigger, better, stronger, faster, smarter, etc. To me it makes the person using it look stupid. Every person has their own way of expressing themselves in their communication efforts. It's called 'self-expression.' So this aspect is like the critical father who judges his children(s) intelligence as lacking and deficient. This in turn creates an adult who has trouble believing their own ability. Remember, Saturn is the planet of 'the father or authority figure.' This aspect shows a father or authority figure who demeans, belittles, judges and makes fun of his children. It's just an awful awful aspect.

Since Mercury rules the mind and Saturn is pessimistic and skeptical, this aspect is prone to anxiety and depression. There is a tendency to look at the dark side of things, which will lead eventually lead to missed opportunities simply because they go unrecognized. This aspect is narrow-minded with strong opinions, which makes for an intellectual cocktail that attracts very few friends. It's tough to have friends when everyone is wrong and you always right or when you are always wrong and everyone else is right. Dang!

This aspect kind of feels Neptunian, but it's not. This aspect says, "I got your nose!" and is basically saying, "Look how dumb you are, or childish you are, or how small you are, that you would actually think I have your nose! HA! HA! HA!" Do not let anyone make you feel small, dumb or foolish, by playing such childish tricks on you. You are not stupid!

Mercury opposing Saturn can also lead to professional jealousy because there is such a need to be intellectually recognized and appreciated or admired. Often is the case that it is difficult to get along and work well with co-workers and colleagues. There is a clear level of hostility with co-workers, employees and colleagues. There are communication issues that are continually coming up or ongoing. There will likely be an issue with your career where your professional reputation is on the line. This is because Saturn is the natural ruler of the 10th house of career, reputation and public image, and Mercury naturally rules the 6th house of co-workers and employees.

This aspect is rigid and cold in thinking, which continues to foster self-doubt about your own intellectual capabilities. Being difficult and needing to be right is not going to help, it will only hurt your progress. Mercury is absolutely rough around the edges as it transits through Leo.
