Mercury square Mercury in synastry: what it changes in the relationship

Your Mercuries diverge: you do not reason the same way, and misunderstandings arise quickly. Rephrasing before answering avoids many arguments. When one person’s Mercury is square the other’s Mercury, words, curiosity, a way of reasoning and words, curiosity, a way of reasoning rub against each other: a contact that stimulates, and asks for adjustment.

In synastry the aspect reads both ways: your Mercury on their Mercury, or their Mercury on your Mercury. The person whose planet is Mercury brings words, curiosity, a way of reasoning; the one whose planet is Mercury brings words, curiosity, a way of reasoning. The square creates productive friction: both want something, not in the same way, and the relationship grows every time the friction becomes a dialogue.

The lever of a tense aspect: translate the friction into words before it becomes a reproach. Mercury seeks to be understood and to be able to talk; Mercury seeks to be understood and to be able to talk. When each understands what the other seeks, the tension becomes shared energy.
