Mercury Mars aspects cuts to the chase. Don’t expect poetic, flowery or diplomatic language. These folk speak plainly and clearly, they will often be brutally honest and with the hard aspects their words can be offensive. In the current times you could even say Mercury conjunction, square or opposition Mars could signify ‘hate speech’.
Mercury Mars Natal Aspects
Mars is sharp and wounding so in hard aspect to Mercury, it makes for offensive communications. These folk will make excellent orators however, as their speeches are rousing and passionate even if some of the words can sometimes be quite harsh. This subject will certainly call a spade a spade!
While we are here I might add that Mercury/Mars can inadvertently cause offence by using expressions from bygone times (before modern slang or slurs complicated the original meaning.) “Calling a spade a spade” only ever referred to gardening tools… So this is also another perfect example of Mercury Mars feeling like they are walking on eggshells every time they open their mouth.
Mercury trine or sextile Mars in the sky stimulates passionate debates. It’s a perfect time to get your teeth into serious study as you will devour any information put in front of your. So go feast upon a library on this mentally stimulating day. Sports that use arms like tennis, pool playing or fencing are also a good use of this energy. Mercury Mars soft aspects supports diplomacy when used at a high vibration or it could just be plain gossipy otherwise!
Calling A ‘Spade’…
These folk’s speech is never going to be beige and they find it very hard to use language that is bland enough to not trigger any colour, creed or sexual orientation. Bill Hicks, who Had Mercury conjunction Mars his natal chart, is a perfect example of a hard-hitting comedian whose words were hilariously funny but also searingly political. Biting satire is the perfect vehicle for a Mercury conjunct Mars person.
These folk also get bored very easy too and can suffer from ADHD if their teacher and classmates are not as quick-witted as themselves. However, some of these folk are not wordsmiths at all and might fall into the ‘actions-speak-louder-than-words’ camp. These will be agile athletes and dancers.
There are some darker sides to this aspect with Mars being a malefic. Mars is passion and Mercury is youngsters so these children can be quite precocious and interested in sex at a very early age. They may hit puberty early too.
Offensive Words
Because of this, Mercury Mars may attract unwanted advances from people who are much older than them before they are mentally mature enough to deal with the consequences. Another negative manifestation is criminality. Mercury rules thieves and tricksters and Mars will bring out the swindling vibration of this aspect.
The mind of Mercury Mars is nervous and impatient. This aspect has the reputation of being extremely argumentative. It can also be very competitive in debates and will always want the last word. The soft aspects are more likely to be better diplomats and peacemakers. Princess Diana is a good example of the soft aspect. Her close friends testify to her biting wit and hilarious but acerbic nicknames for people around she didn’t like.
Mercury conjunction, square or opposition Mars in the sky could trigger spiteful words and wounding arguments. It’s almost impossible to reach a compromise with difficult people since words will have very sharp edges. For entertainment purposes, this is the sort of material that goes viral however. These are very hard-hitting aspects and insults could leave scars for many years to come. Be careful what you say, tweet or write on this day. (Unless you purposely want to cause lasting damage with your words.)
Intellectually too, all Mercury Mars aspects wants to be top of the class and can devour knowledge pretty quickly if it is a subject that they are passionate about. So generally this subject can do extremely well intellectually, in any field, if they are allowed to pursue the path they find the most interesting and are not censored in any way.
