Sun conjunct Mercury

Description from cafe astrology:


Because the ego and the mind are aligned, people with Sun conjunct Mercury possess much mental energy. They are always in a position to think about what they want, and in many ways, this is an interruption of the will. Mercury brings definition to whatever it contacts, and when aligned with the Sun, the natives apply logic and definition to the will--and the will generally works better when it is allowed to "just be" rather than be analyzed. The result is much intelligence and communication ability, and a lot of pride invested in the intellectual capacities. These people may not listen as well as they speak, however! They might be too busy thinking about what to say next. As far as studying or learning goes, they are better off reading the material than listening to a teacher. These traits come from a strong need to take an active role in communications. It is very hard for these people to passively listen and absorb information.

Their opinions are usually strong and they are independent thinkers. They tend to be proud of their opinions and their thoughts, and might easily get a bruised ego if they are not "heard", if their opinions are pushed aside or ignored, or if their opinions are criticized. Sun conjunct Mercury people are expressive and, in some cases, very animated speakers.

I find that the Virgo sun conjunct merc folks are a little more quiet, but the very little things they say hold power. (well of course merc is domicile in virgo/gem).

Egotistical placement.


It works wonders when it's tailored to what other people want. Gives you a lot of conviction and they don't doubt you can get it done for them. The best thing to learn from a Sun Conjunct Merc perspective is just to do the next thing that's right in front of you. Deal with solutions to the people's problems right in your face. You can get to wherever you want that way, the masterplan is all in reach.

right

most people have this aspect. no?

I'm not sure...I don't think so lol

I think it's a very common aspect? when I look at famous people's birth chart, almost more than half of them have this aspect. never given a much thought to it cause it seemed too common

^maybe it is, never really thought about it

I have this aspect sun conjunct merc in libra house 10. I do agree with the description and maybe this is also the reason why I prefer to be transparent, more like 'what you see is what you get' type of personality.

yeah...you can only have three different types of mercuries. The house before yours, your own house, or the house after yours. 1/3 is still a big percentage, if you're looking at it stats wise. 33.3% is a significant number, jus sayin. Compared to other aspects, sun conjunct merc has a higher percentage of occuring, but 33.3% out of 100% is not really a big number. Depends on how you look at things I guess.

I think it may relate to the sign of the father: my own father had Sun conjunct Mercury and his own father (my grandfather) was a Virgo; my mother had Sun conjunct Venus and her father was a Libra.
