MERCURY SQUARE MARS

This aspect is a seat of inner tensions. The tension of the square gives us motivation. Squares are dynamic aspects that give us the drive to succeed. What begins as an inner problem is overcome or accepted, and then becomes a door to understanding.

It is important to understand that Mercury rules the reasoning and conscious mind that forms conclusions. Mercury is intellectual, enjoys learning, teaches and is communicative, while Mars is busy, hyper and action-oriented. Mars is assertive, aggressive and competitive.

The mind is very busy with this aspect which can result in difficulty concentrating due to so many thoughts and ideas. This makes for a talkative individual who often times loses sight of the essence of the conversation. This individual wants to say as much as they can before they forget what they were going to say, which leads them away from the topic of conversation and down a different path of discussion.
