Composite Mercury quincunx Composite Mars

You are inclined to tell each other exactly what you’re thinking without considering the consequences. This can be healthy to a degree, but often not! This is because the words we choose to explain ourselves are not always reflective of how we are actually feeling.

You’re looking to one another for mental stimulation and exciting exchange or verbal rapport. You might frequently challenge each other’s ideas. Whether this inspires you to think more sharply or degrades into mental sparring and one-upmanship is entirely up to you. Conversations are certainly lively between you, but can often lead to arguments if you are not careful. Avoid trying to force an opinion onto each other, or attempting to one-up each other on a mental level. Scoring intellectual points might be fun in a debate, but it can hurt feelings and cause unnecessary conflict if either of you doesn’t take it as a game. Different points of view can turn into full-fledged arguments all too easily with this combination. Words may be sharp and impatient.

Composite Mercury opposite Composite Mars

The energies of Mercury opposition Mars in a composite chart are somewhat difficult to deal with. This aspect is an indication of verbal disagreements and disputes that can be quite damaging to the relationship if not handled correctly. There will be times when arguments arise between you not because of a real issue but simply because something in each of you triggers the other's argumentative instincts. In such a situation, both of you must learn to count to ten before flying off the handle.

If your relationship has other good qualities, it will be worth working this problem out. Try not to take yourselves so seriously when you get angry. Recognize that most of what sets you off is trivial. If necessary, when you feel this anger coming on, leave the room for a moment or two.

One good point about this type of Mercury-Mars energy is that it's effects do not last long, unless there is really something serious at stake. In that case it is best to get it out into the open and deal with the problem. Above all, do not deal with your anger by suppressing it. Either employ some kind of cooling-off technique, as described, or have it out. Suppressing this energy can be quite destructive, for when the energy finally emerges, as it eventually must, it may very well destroy the whole relationship, regardless of how good it is otherwise.

The two sets of tactics you should concentrate on in dealing with this aspect are first, getting a better perspective on your irritability, and second, getting the anger out into the open when the issue is important.
