When one person’s Mercury is conjunct the other’s Venus, words, curiosity, a way of reasoning and taste, pleasure, a way of loving merge: a strong contact that marks the relationship.
In synastry the aspect reads both ways: your Mercury on their Venus, or their Mercury on your Venus. The person whose planet is Mercury brings words, curiosity, a way of reasoning; the one whose planet is Venus brings taste, pleasure, a way of loving. The conjunction melts the two together: you no longer quite know who brings what, which is both the strength and the trap of this contact.
The lever of a conjunction: keep a little distance to see the other. Mercury seeks to be understood and to be able to talk; Venus seeks to please and to be chosen. When both remain two, the fusion nourishes instead of smothering.
