Mercury conjunct Sun

Mercury retrograde conjoins the Sun. This is a time of rebirth in the area of communication and all mercurial matters. Burn off the old and non-essential, and plant the seeds in preparation for the start of a new beginning. For some it can be the processing of death. It's a good time to get to the heart of a matter. Siblings are a major Mercury issue so you may be experiencing more contact with them.

For those involved in writing, education or teaching there can be great strides made at this point of the Mercury retrograde. Mercury will square Mars on the 10th so be aware of how you direct words towards others. This is an action-oriented aspect that can lead to miscommunication and anger. This is the second of three three squares. Look back to what was initiated on 1/8 because at this time the story will deepen and progress. The three squares are: 1/8, 2/10 and 3/23. That's a three month period of an unraveling story that develops, is put into action and needs resolution. This pass is definitely about being well in the heart of the matter. Because Mercury is in Aquarius and Mars is in Taurus it's important to get a detachment from material concerns and learn to see things in a new light. It's about money, values, society and community. Personal wants vs. communal needs.
