□ Square
Mercury square Descendant
The square between Mercury and the Descendant creates a tension between the mind and the way of bonding with others, a clash between what one thinks and how one communicates within close relationships. The communication style can generate friction in one-to-one encounters. It is a demanding angle that pushes toward adjusting how one speaks within relationships. When worked through, it forges a communication style more skilled at reaching agreement and cooperating.
In a relationship
In a bond, this square generates friction in the direct dialogue between the two people. What is said provokes disagreements or is interpreted as opposition rather than as a contribution. The challenge lies in the fact that the way of communicating clashes with the dynamics of close interaction. The gift, when it is worked through, is learning to negotiate and to understand each other despite differences in style. The tension takes the form of recurring misencounters in conversation. The work it asks is to listen genuinely, not to communicate in order to impose, and to seek agreement rather than to be right. It helps to rephrase when something has caused friction. When the couple works through that friction, dialogue becomes more cooperative. The lesson is that in close bonds, how something is said matters as much as what one is trying to achieve.
