In synastry the aspect reads both ways: your Sun on their Mercury, or their Sun on your Mercury. The person whose planet is Sun brings identity, direction, the pride of being oneself; the one whose planet is Mercury brings words, curiosity, a way of reasoning. The trine flows naturally: the agreement is effortless, almost too much so, and the relationship gains from not falling asleep on it.
The lever of a harmonious aspect: do not take it for granted. Name what works, cultivate it, and lean on it on the days when other contacts between your charts grind.
