Mercury conjunct Uranus: shared switch between aura and ideas

4 min read

The aura often precedes the derivation: Mercury conjunction Uranus allows the thinking of Mercury and the emergent intuition of Uranus to overlap in the same position, and your thoughts often arrive in a group.

Schematic chart: Mercury and Uranus fall in the same position and form a conjunction. The aspect lines overlap on the two planets. Thinking and aura share a circuit.Schematic, not a real chart

The core of Mercury conjunction Uranus: a one-sentence version

conjunction Put two functions into the same motor: the way you think about things is the kind of brain that suddenly changes connections. Others have to push through the steps step by step before they dare to draw a conclusion. You often arrive at the conclusion first and add the reasons later. It’s not that you’re illogical, it’s that your logic is jump-started: it’s a complete set as soon as the inspiration comes, and what’s missing is the supplement.

What each planet wants

What Mercury wants is the circulation of information: comparison, classification, and speaking so that the other party can hear it. What Uranus wants is a loose version: it can be disconnected, reconnected, and asked another way. Stacked together, your brain automatically skips paragraphs for repeated content, and naturally wants to find a second way to the process of “everyone does it this way”. The output quality of this circuit depends heavily on the support of the entire chart. Just looking at conjunction alone does not determine whether you are smart or not.

The feeling of neutral aspect: three specific scenes

  1. The meeting is still being discussed in order. You have already seen that the whole approach can be changed. When you speak, the reasoning in the middle is not followed, and the people listening get the conclusion first.
  2. When writing something, my thoughts often turn around on their own, and the first sentence of the draft is often different from the theme of the final draft.
  3. It’s easier to get started with new tools than others, but it’s the most difficult time to go back and operate the old system.

Immature and mature expressions

Immature conjunctions regard jumping as everything: they are impatient when others ask about the process, ideas come in batches, but few are actually implemented. The mature version adds a translation line for the aura - first write down the entire set of jumps intact, and then go back and add the steps for the listener. Your advantage lies in the speed at the starting point, and others’ advantage lies in the density of steps. Only when you connect them together will the grid be complete.

Orb and priority: 0 degrees, natal convention within 7 degrees

The natal conjunction orb is 7 degrees, and any error within 7 degrees will be counted. Mercury moves about one to two degrees a day. The difference in birth time by a few hours has limited influence on the degree of this square. First check the actual distance between the two planets. This set of conjunctions is not a generational phase shared by people of the same generation - Mercury goes around the zodiac once a year, with Uranus in conjunction and opposition at least once each in the process, and the other four phases go at least twice each (more times when retrograde), and who falls on it is determined by the date of birth.

Cheat Sheet: Six Aspects of Mercury and Uranus

The grid that is most closely related to the aura and ideas is placed back into the whole group and positioned as follows.

Aspect Angle and natal orb In one sentence
conjunction (this page) Within 0 degrees, 7 degrees Shared switch for aura and ideas
opposition 180 degrees, within 7 degrees There is a constant debate in my mind
trine 120 degrees, within 6 degrees New ideas and shortcuts
square 90 degrees, within 6 degrees Kuai and Bian compete for channels
sextile 60 degrees, within 4 degrees The path is waiting for you to connect it yourself
quincunx 150 degrees, not marked Inspiration and typos

Whether you can read smoothly after conjunction or not depends on whether the translation line is established or not: The Myth of Hard Aspect First remove the assumption that “jumping equals unreliability”. The remaining pairings of Mercury and Uranus are listed in the Phase Pairing Index. If you want to follow the course to practice interpretation, it is easiest to start from Aspects Course.
