hmmm now this sounds nice in comparison to my mercury quincunx jupiter, never able to let anything go until I have got to the bottom of it all, the reflection of the “tip of the iceberg” and my jup is rx, so the tiniest details matter…yep I am a real joy to be around lol!
mercury being the planet of communication, squaring jupiter brings benificiary news related to the houses they are transiting. its expansion of communication, being best at communication. i received satisfactory news from my clients seeking astrological advice from me.
ummm…. how I should take this aspect if it happens on my solar return? Will it complicate communication and business for the next 12 months?
How long tdoes the transit last
Mercury transits last about two days.
During this transit my mind absolutely failed me. I just couldn’t think. I kept forgetting things, and with all my might could not remember. I made numerous mistakes. Transit mercury was squaring my Jupiter in 10 and it was my career that suffered. I should have been fired after all the mistakes I made today but help from Mars trine jupiter made me proactive in repairing my errors. Think of this time as mental fog, mistakes happening as a result of not being able to think straight or remember or mixing things up that needed to be kept straight. I was too rigid as well, not bending when someone was frustrated with me, but my not bending was more because I didn’t have the mental clarity to come up with a solution. For me this fog was a result of an earthquake + multiple aftershocks in the middle of the night that woke me and I couldn’t go back to sleep.
Advice? Make these mental mistakes around people who will be forgiving with you. And if you can, maybe plan to take this day off work and go and have these mental errors with some random person at the mall instead of with clients. That day was a doozy. Glad it’s over.
(Also noting this occurred while moon was transiting 4th house, which I’ve learned are days at home. The moment mercury square Jupiter began to separate I was able to go home.)
To clarify, Mercury was transit my 1st house for this

Hi Ana. Yes, very open to many topics of conversation. But may tend to exaggerate, over-generalize or be indiscreet.
