How It Works

Mercury square natal Mercury creates mental friction around thinking patterns. Thinking about how you process information hits snags.

Squares create tension that demands attention. Your mind is engaged with thinking patterns but the processing is not smooth. Conversations may hit unexpected resistance. Information about how you process information may be confusing or contradictory. The friction can sharpen your thinking if you work with it rather than fight it.

This is not the best day for critical decisions related to thinking patterns. Better to gather information and decide later.
