Mercury conjunct Venus: saying and taste are the same version

4 min read

What you want to say and what you like go through the same set of filters: Mercury conjunction Venus connects the words of Mercury and the preferences of Venus on the same channel, and the words you speak are naturally decorated with taste.

Chart: Mercury and Venus are close to the conjunction orb and fall in the same area. Conversation and taste share the same channel.Schematic, not a real chart

The core of Mercury conjunction Venus: one sentence version

conjunction Put two planets in the same position, and your expressions are naturally equipped with Venus filters: your words are decent, your tone is atmospheric, and you talk about the things you like very fluently. The version you speak of the same content will make people put down their guard first. The trade-off is that you lose one version of your speech - something that needs to be blunt or even ugly, and you automatically reduce the sharpness, so the bottom line may not be conveyed as clearly.

What each planet wants

What Mercury wants is unobstructed communication: asking, listening, and organizing thoughts into a shape that can be exchanged. Venus wants value and beauty: what is pleasing, what is worthy, what is pleasing to the eye. Stacked together, your choice of words is like choosing something: first listen or not, and then decide how to say it. When relaying bad news, you most likely wrap it up first and adjust the impact to a level that the other party can handle. When writing or discussing cooperation, this layer of embellishment is an advantage.

The feeling of neutral aspect: three specific scenes

  1. You usually have two ways of saying the same thing, and you choose the less cumbersome one without comparing them.
  2. When replying to a message, spend more time on the wording than the content itself.
  3. After checking it out, I found out: You made the key points very smoothly during the meeting, but the conclusion never came to a conclusion.

Immature and mature expressions

The immature conjunction only seeks to sound good: the key information is wrapped up and distorted, and the other party has to ask again to know what you really want; a more implicit way is to use “being able to talk” to offset the homework that needs to be done. You have popularity but not delivery. The mature version retains the warmth of the tone while putting the conclusion in the first sentence - speak clearly first, then speak well. Modification is your grammar, not your avoidance route.

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

The natal conjunction orb grasps 7 degrees. Mercury and Venus each move one to two degrees every day. A few hours difference in birth time will have limited impact on the degree of this conjunction. Just check that the two planets are indeed within 7 degrees. The closer to 0 degrees, the more the way of speaking and the things you like are like the same action; when it is extended to 5 or 6 degrees, first look at how the signs of Mercury and Venus set the tone respectively, and then talk about the additive part when combined.

Cheat Sheet: Six Aspects of Mercury and Venus

Let’s talk about the reason first: from the earth, Mercury is about 28 degrees from the Sun and Venus is about 47 degrees. The distance between the two planets is not more than about 75 degrees. Therefore, phases other than 60 degrees are not rare and cannot be determined from astronomy.
