Composite Mercury in aspect to Composite Saturn

Mercury conjunct Saturn in the composite chart has great potential and also great dangers. Both possibilities are equally likely, and the two of you will have to choose your own course.

To deal with the dangers first, Saturn is the principle of limitation and discipline. At its worst, it can have a narrowing and inhibiting effect upon anything it is connected with- in this case, thought and opinions that you hold jointly about the outside world and about yourselves can become fixed and rigid. As a result, you could fall into ritualized games and patterns of behavior that gradually have less and less connection with reality. While you are standing still, reality is changing.

This rigidity does not have to occur, if you can be very conscious of your patterns of thinking and communicating. At all times you must communicate with each other, and you must be explicit and clear. This aspect is not good for successful intuitive communication, so say what you mean. If as a couple you can do these things, you should be able to reap the benefits of this aspect.

The positive side of this aspect is that your communication with each other should have a great deal of form and discipline. You are able to plan for the future more effectively than most, because you consider every possibility. Together you plan very carefully, thoroughly, and methodically. Although other people may think of the two of you as a bit too careful, pay no heed. You must go about your affairs in the way that is best for you.

If you follow through on your promises to your partner, the trust deepens. Get over being afraid to talk about sensitive topics. Deal with a problem and then move ahead. You can be a real asset in helping one another stay focused. Your disciplined thinking is a match for any tedious undertaking. You both are aware of the bottom line in negotiating with others.

At first, most relationships have to overcome some barriers to mutual understanding and arrive at a common ground of opinion. After that phase you will find that your thoughts and feelings about each other will remain constant and grow further along the lines you have established. That can be either bad or good, of course, depending on what kinds of feelings you have established in the beginning. With this configuration, if you get off to a bad start it will be difficult to change your point of view. But if the start is good, the relationship will continue that way.

Composite Mercury square Composite Saturn

Mercury square Saturn in the composite chart can present real problems in a relationship, for it symbolizes basic difficulties in communication. Most commonly the problem is not that the two of you cannot communicate but simply that you do not try. But you can get around the worst effects of this aspect if you make the effort to communicate. Do not assume that the other person knows what is on your mind. Try to say whatever you are thinking, and say it clearly.

You must be careful, however, for if this aspect does not cut off communication, it may make you dwell on negative subjects. You may say nothing to each other except to complain, and then communicate in the most irritating way possible. Or, on the other hand, you may carp about minor issues and say nothing about real ones.

As a couple, you must communicate regularly, about all things, nut just complaints and criticisms. Otherwise you each will feel that there is no reason to keep the relationship going, that it is not worth the effort. But if you keep in touch with each other, it will not be this way.

Composite Mercury square Composite Saturn: Unacknowledged communication problems can arise between you. This is because you do not fully put across your message before signing off, perhaps for a variety of reasons. First, you may not have full confidence in what you are saying and censor yourself due to your fear that someone else will. Second, you may assume knowledge on the part of each other or those around you that is not in their possession and therefore, makes it impossible for them to get your meaning. Third, if you have a negative image of those with whom you are communicating, it will show and turn them off to what you are saying. Alternatively, you may just get locked into a single way of expressing yourselves that no longer does the job. In all cases, the fundamental remedy is to say more and put things in a positive light. When you communicate make certain you are being fully understood. Do not take it for granted that you have been heard unless you get specific feedback. Look for the silver lining in whatever you do and focus on ways to describe it. Assume the dark side has already been sufficiently noted. Eventually, as you make these readjustments, you will find yourselves master of precise expression, the midpoint which you seek, but it will take time.

Mercury trine Saturn in your composite chart gives the two of you a serious and sober but realistic view of the world. You are not prone to fantasies about each other, but build a mutual respect based on the solid reality of what you are to each other. A relationship with this aspect is likely to be based on pragmatic considerations rather than ideals, fond hopes, or romantic illusions. Something about the solidness and certainty of this association will appeal to you, especially if you have had other relationships that did not work out. This aspect can be very good in a business or professional relationship, for your kind of practical concern can make it very profitable.

In a personal relationship, this concern for practical reality helps to keep things straight, but do not let it limit your ability to enjoy each other and experience the lighter pleasures of life. Do not become overwhelmed by pragmatic concerns to the exclusion of creative self-expression within the relationship.

Composite Mercury quincunx Composite Saturn

Composite Mercury opposite Composite Saturn

Mercury opposition Saturn in a composite chart means that the two of you will have to work very hard on communication in order to build a common point of view. This will not occur naturally without some work on your part.

If you make no effort to control what is happening, this combination will create disagreements, for your viewpoints are fundamentally different and not easily reconciled. To deal with this problem you will both have to make an effort to recognize the other's point of view and to understand what it is based on, rather than just rejecting it out of hand. It may not ever be possible for you to agree completely, but at least you can respect each other's opinions.

To do this, it is necessary to communicate, but this aspect may prevent you from even making the initial overtures toward communication. On a mental level you could be like two ships passing in the night that don't even notice each other. Or if you do attract each other's attention, it may only be to exchange verbal barrages.

So communicate, and do so with the positive intent of at least understanding the other's position. If you cannot do that, you will certainly have problems with each other, no matter what you try to do.

Composite Mercury opposite Composite Saturn: Communication is the way to stay close. One or both of you may be in the habit of wanting to clarify your commitment. When you two make up your minds to finish something, you usually come through. Flexibility is wise. There are going to be occasions when you will need to admit that an idea might need adjusting. When you listen to your partner, the intimacy is richer. Business enterprises can prove lucrative. Your perceptions about purchasing things that will go up in value are sharp. Balancing work and play is wise. Following each other's lead cuts down on power struggles. People can respect the integrity each of you possesses. Public recognition for your talents is possible.

Composite Mercury opposite Composite Saturn: Communication may be difficult with you, and you should do all that you can to stimulate it. The inclination is not just to clam up and not talk, but to go half-way and then give up, which can be very annoying at times. Half the message can be worse than no message at all, and if you give up in an important discussion before you resolve the issues, what was the point in beginning at all? If there is a lesson here, it is intellectual follow-through, saying all that needs to be said and not being satisfied until you have. The very flip side of this aspect oddly enough is that by doing just that, your verbal tenacity will allow you to nail things down clearly, as long as you don't let the interruptions derail you. The method of communication when it occurs will be somewhat adversarial and you will need to give each other's opinions the benefit of doubt or you will never get to first base. The main thing is, don't give up. When you tire out or figure it's not worth wasting your words, stop, regroup, and pick up where you left off. This is an annoying and debilitating aspect, but it is no reason to throw in the towel. Insist on seeing the bright side, something you are not likely to do at first, and then build on that, one brick at a time.
