Mercury conjunct Mars natal gives a quick mind, rapid reflexes, and a sharp tongue. These attributes are ideal for making quick decisions in the heat of the moment while others hesitate. Excellent debating skills allow you to stand up not only for yourself but for the rights of others.

Your enthusiastic, direct and courageous way of expressing yourself can win admiration in politics, business, and the military. However, this direct means of communication can lead to arguments and hostility in more personal relationships and your social life.

The key to managing this potent aspect is to control the impulsive and aggressive side of Mars. Even in your professional life, forming harmonious relations will require modifying your naturally defensive attitude. You will often know you are right, but for peace, you must allow others to share their opinions even if they appear wrong.

It is in your more intimate relationships that this tendency to get into arguments poses the most significant problems. Friends and family may feel treated by your mannerisms and communication style, even when you think you are in a calm state. You can use your acute intellect to recognize when you elicit defensive or hostile reactions in others. The resulting increase in self-awareness will enable you to moderate your approach when your fighting skills are not required.

Mercury Conjunct Mars Transit

Mercury conjunct Mars transit gives mental sharpness, decisiveness, enthusiasm and manual dexterity. With a focused mind and piercing intellect, you can argue your case and defend others against harassment or provocation.

There may be an aggressive or defensive nature to your thinking at this time. This, together with extremely rapid response times, means there is a potential for getting into arguments, losing your temper, and being unnecessarily rude or abusive. These attributes are acceptable in a fight but not helpful in social settings or between partners.

The key to handling this potentially provocative energy comes by gaining self-awareness of the buildup of nervous and impulsive energy. If you have no worthy cause to fight for, apply this energy to mental work such as studies or investigations. Even doing a crossword would release the buildup of irritation and anger.

You may encounter hostility in others without using this energy in a good debate or solving puzzles. This could come in the form of threats, abuse or intimidation. You should not back down from a fight but choose your battles carefully. Remember, this transit gives a tendency toward acting before thinking.
