SUN CONJUNCT MERCURY

A conjunction or conjunct symbol is an aspect that emphasizes and brings together the energies of the planets involved. Conjunctions focus and intensify the energy much like a laser beam on an exact point in your chart. These planets have their own uniqueness and when tag-teamed their energy is intensified even more.

It is important to understand that Mercury rules the reasoning and conscious mind that forms conclusions. Mercury is a communicator, traveler, salesperson and an intellectual, while the Sun rules the identity, ego, individuality, power and pride.

I call this aspect the 'All Circuits Are Busy' aspect or TMI (too much information) where it makes it hard to process, understand and connect. This is when the mental wires can easily sizzle and fry during its presence, especially during an air or fire sign conjunction, and I mean OVER-POWERED, FRIED AND SIZZLED! In fact, when Mercury and the Sun are 4 degrees or less from each other, this leads to complete burnout and then nothing gets done. That's exactly why you need to re-engage, re-orient and re-inject yourself back into your Life. It can become very hard to communicate your thoughts or even process your thoughts. It's like overloading a power strip with electrical gadgets. Too much is just too damn much and thoughts get scrambled. Read more in my Astrology Aspects eBook - click the graphic below!
