ALMUTEM
Mercury Opposition Saturn
Mercury represents the way you think, speak and learn; Saturn, your responsible side, your limits and what you build through effort.
The planet of the mind and the lord of limit in confrontation: a very serious cast of thought, turned toward the native’s place in the world and toward concrete needs — but which tends to dwell on isolation, loneliness, and the difficulties of relationships, feeding sombre thoughts. It needs to remember that ills are generally more apparent than real, the fruit of looking only at the dark side. It is not the time to part from those one loves, though the temptation comes: the perspective is distorted. Well governed, it gives a sure critical eye, that sees the defect and corrects it. It asks mental work with pauses, and the counsel of an authority one truly respects, who speaks to one as a father.
