Mars Square Mercury

Mars represents your energy, your desire and the courage to act; Mercury, the way you think, speak and learn.

The lesser malefic and the planet of the mind in friction: mental energy is high, but the ego clings so to its ideas that the native is quickly offended and any obstacle irritates them. There is real danger of arguments and disputes — at home or at work — often through mere clash of egos, with no question of substance. The tongue is quick and cutting, and haste in thought may overrun. It asks care with rashness and with accidents, above all in travel or with cutting instruments. When there is a real cause, though, it is the moment to defend it: the mental force is equal to it — provided it is not spent on trifles.
