Aspects of Mercury and Jupiter

Mercury – Jupiter Conjunction

The native likes to consider and plan matters on a large scale. They are not as good at working with details as they are at seeing the big picture. Their ideas are always expansive, and they do not like to immerse themselves in the details. Because of their incredible optimism, they may promise more than they can ultimately deliver. They have a tendency to exaggerate everything they talk about, including themselves and their abilities. There are times when they simply talk too much or repeat the same thing again and again, thinking they were not understood the first time or that others are hearing it for the first time.

They have a tendency to check and recheck again and again, even while knowing that everything was done perfectly the first time — like setting an alarm clock or checking whether the front door has been locked. At times, they may be impractical because of the scale of their vision. Travel is especially interesting to them, as it gives them the opportunity to be open and absorb new knowledge. They are always ready to share their opinions and views with other people, even if no one has asked them to. Philosophical reasoning and theoretical arguments about abstract concepts are a pleasure for them. They are always ready to play “devil’s advocate,” even if they agree with the opponent’s point of view; they simply enjoy a good discussion, argument, debate, and psychological sparring match.

The native is interested in broad vision, universal principles and systems, seeing the interaction of relationships, structures, and the whole picture rather than its separate components. They have great respect for knowledge, and the thirst for learning and education is very important to them, whether this is formal education or informal learning that has continued long after school days. They love teaching and passing on their knowledge and experience to others. As a teacher, they learn as much from their students as the students learn from them, because they are always interested in one subject or another.

Speaking and writing are two directions the native may follow, and it would not be surprising if they connected their activity with broadcasting, publishing, or advertising. They are a born salesperson, and people tend to trust them and believe what they say.

They are probably better at inventing schemes than implementing them. They are simply happy if someone else does all the work after they have devised the necessary plan of action. They have a direct, open, sincere, and noble nature, and they will not intentionally beat around the bush in an attempt to deceive people. Their optimism and faith in the future will help them achieve success in all their affairs. At times, they may show a certain stubbornness of spirit and thought. They love variety and want to achieve as much as possible in every possible area. They only need to be careful not to become a person who takes on everything at once but cannot do anything specific — unless that is truly what they want for themselves.

Mercury in Harmony with Jupiter

The native has an optimistic and encouraging outlook on life. They are interested in learning and education, have a talent for developing long-term plans, and are endowed with common sense. Travel benefits them, and they love it very much, as it broadens their horizons and develops awareness and understanding. They like to see and work with the big picture rather than delve into details, and they are not very good at details anyway, so they would rather leave them to someone else. They are an excellent speaker and can sell almost anything to almost anyone. People instinctively trust them and know that their intentions toward them are benevolent. They are decent, moral, and generous, and would never intentionally deceive or harm anyone.

They enjoy thinking about abstract subjects such as philosophy and religion. At times, they may embellish their stories and exaggerate their experience in order to impress an audience. They know how to keep a conversation interesting because they have a wonderful sense of humor. They quickly and thoroughly learn any subject that interests them. They have the ability to see both sides of an argument, so they easily reach compromise. They are tolerant of other people’s shortcomings and rarely hold grudges against them — life is too short, and that is how they think about it. They love discussions and debates because these give them an opportunity to exchange opinions and ideas.

Work in radio, advertising and publishing, diplomacy, law, consulting, business, or almost any other professional field may suit them ideally. This aspect guarantees success in life, because the native is always positive and will always continue to work hard regardless of obstacles.

Inharmonious Aspects of Mercury and Jupiter

The native is full of optimism, perhaps even excessively so. They make promises but cannot or do not wish to keep them. To create a stronger effect, they often exaggerate when telling any story. Most likely, they have little or no faith in higher powers, because they cannot fully comprehend the whole matter. They like to see and work with the big picture, wanting someone else to do all the detailed work. They have a tendency to check and recheck several times just to make sure they did everything right the first time — like checking whether they really set the alarm clock or locked the front door.

They are always inclined to do more rather than less. For example, if a recipe says to add one tablespoon, they may boldly add one tablespoon and another half. They believe that if something is already good, then a little more will make it even better. They may be intolerant of other people’s beliefs, habits, and cultures.

They tend to embellish details that will have consequences later, and they may also overestimate the potential of an idea or product. They can be unkind at times, though not intentionally; they simply get carried away with themselves, which can sometimes be destructive for them. Many ideas, interests, and plans for the future come to them, but it may be rather difficult for them to concentrate on any one specific area. They may devote themselves and their energy to certain irrational matters or processes. Philosophy, religion, and other areas of theoretical reflection interest them.

They also possess foresight, numerous enterprising ideas, and a gambling instinct that contributes to their success in the business world. They love to travel, especially when this combines broadening horizons with an educational element. They enjoy sharing their thoughts and ideas with others and could become an excellent teacher, whether formally or in another capacity. They need to learn to discipline themselves, as this will allow them to solve problems logically, clearly, and with full understanding. They have a tendency to rush into their thoughts and be careless in their thinking. Their thoughts go too far, and they may become carried away by them, making grand plans that are too broad to be applied to concrete reality.

They also seem extremely uncritical of other people and accept them as they find them. At times, they are absent-minded, even though their mind is very original and fertile. They may have literary or speaking talent. They should beware of hasty conclusions, immorality, and excessive optimism. They know how to bring together unrelated ideas and concepts and put them into practice. At times, others may take advantage of them because of their responsive nature and generosity. They may have a tendency to talk too much, using more words than are really needed to say something, or repeating several times what they have just said.  ✓
