MERCURY - MARS Synastry in SQUARE Aspect

A feisty relationship is the result of this combination of the planets Mercury ( You ) and Mars ( Your Partner ) Square Aspect in Synastry. 

In this aspect, Mercury (representing communication, intellect, and thought processes) forms a 90-degree angle (square) with Mars (representing energy, assertiveness, and drive). When Mercury and Mars are in a square aspect in synastry, there might be some challenges and tension in the way you and your partner communicate and express yourselves. 

This could lead to disagreements,misunderstandings, and differences in how you approach various situations..

Opportunities

  • Excitement and Energy: While there might be challenges, the square aspect can infuse the relationship with energy and passion. The partners might engage in lively debates and discussions that keep the relationship dynamic. 
  • Motivation to Resolve Issues: The tension from the square aspect can also motivate partners to address communication problems and find ways to communicate more effectively. 
  • Learning from Differences: The differences in communication and action styles can offer opportunities for personal growth and learning. Partners can develop better communication skills by understanding each other's viewpoints. 
  • Shared Goals: If both partners are willing to work through the challenges, the square aspect can drive them towards common goals and shared projects that require both communication and action..
When Mercury ( You ) and Mars ( Your Partner ) are together the sparks fly. The nature of these sparks depends on other aspects of the relationship. On the one hand Mercury ( You ) and Mars ( Your Partner ) may be positively stimulated by each other's company, enjoying lively conversations and energetic activities. 

Both Mercury ( You )and Mars ( Your Partner ) learn much from each other and may enjoy facing challenges together which in turn help them to move forward in their own lives. However, it is more likely that this combination indicates a combustive reaction when Mercury ( You ) and Mars ( Your Partner ) are together. 

The relationship is likely to be fraught with misunderstandings and angry reactions. In particular Mars ( Your Partner ) is aggressive, perhaps even trying to bully Mercury ( You ) to do things her way. Mars ( Your Partner ) honestly believes that she knows what is right for Mercury ( You ) and energetically sets about trying to achieve her goals. 

However, Mercury ( You ) resents these tactics and becomes critical of everything that Mars ( Your Partner ) does. There seems to be no middle ground and tempers are frayed. Mercury ( You ) is usually able to have the last word, but Mars ( Your Partner ) knows how to act in a way that is guaranteed to escalate any argument. 

Of course there is always the possibility that both Mercury ( You ) and Mars ( Your Partner )enjoy the drama of this relationship. However, if this is not the case then the lesson is to learn to respect each other's differences and to channel all of the energy created by this partnership into positive activities and lively discussions.

1. Fire Signs (Aries, Leo, Sagittarius): Fire signs might struggle with Water signs (Cancer, Scorpio, Pisces) because they can perceive them as overly emotional or too sensitive. Fire signs may also find Earth signs (Taurus, Virgo, Capricorn) too grounded or rigid in their ways, which can clash with their fiery, spontaneous nature.

2. Earth Signs (Taurus, Virgo, Capricorn): Earth signs might have difficulty understanding Air signs (Gemini, Libra, Aquarius) because they can seem too flighty or indecisive. Additionally, Earth signs may find Fire signs too impulsive or reckless, which can create friction.

3. Air Signs (Gemini, Libra, Aquarius): Air signs might clash with Earth signs because they can perceive them as too practical or stuck in their ways. Additionally, they may find Water signs too emotionally intense or difficult to communicate with, as Air signs value intellectual connections.

4. Water Signs (Cancer, Scorpio, Pisces): Water signs might struggle with Fire signs because they can find them too aggressive or insensitive to their emotional needs. They may also have difficulty relating to Air signs, as they prioritize logic over emotions, which can feel dismissive to Water signs' sensitivities.
