Sun conjunct Mercury people are expressive and, in some cases, very animated speakers. 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. Their opinions are usually strong and they are independent thinkers. It is very hard for these people to passively listen and absorb information. These traits come from a strong need to take an active role in communications. As far as studying or learning goes, they are better off reading the material than listening to a teacher.

These people may not listen as well as they speak, however! They might be too busy thinking about what to say next. The result is much intelligence and communication ability, and a lot of pride invested in intellectual capacities. 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.

They are always in a position to think about what they want, and in many ways, this is an interruption of the will. Because the Sun and Mercury are never more than 28 degrees apart, the only major aspect they can make in a natal chart is the conjunction.īecause the ego and the mind are aligned, people with Sun conjunct Mercury possess much mental energy.
