Mars Conjunction Mercury
Mars represents your energy, your desire and the courage to act; Mercury, the way you think, speak and learn.
The lesser malefic fuses with the planet of the mind: speech takes fire. It gives a quick, incisive, combative intelligence, with an enormous capacity for mental effort and energy to persuade and to impose a point of view with enthusiasm and force. But the ego clings to its own ideas, and the native becomes touchy and ready to dispute — anger leaps up at nothing, and the tongue wounds or provokes unawares. It inclines to haste in speech and in gait (beware rashness and accidents). Governed, it is a penetrating, persuasive spirit, of sharp speech in the service of the cause; loosed, it breeds friction through the mere clash of egos.
