Mercury – Lilith Opposition – Do Not Trust Words; They Will Deceive

Although the opposition is a tense aspect that acts throughout life, a person can learn to live with it and even reach its highest level. However, it is necessary to understand where the hidden pitfalls are and how to turn them into a springboard rather than an obstacle. Unfortunately, it is the Mercury – Lilith opposition that brings its holder many disappointments and problems, and in most cases the cause is the person themselves.

Lack of restraint, distortion of facts, gossip, talkativeness, and lies become a familiar environment from early childhood, and if such a child is not raised properly, they may steal little things and gain benefits through various criminal methods. As they grow older, they receive a boomerang effect in return: now they are the one being deceived and robbed, unless they begin to interact with these energies correctly.

Dangers of the Mercury – Lilith Opposition

All the native’s problems are connected with the energy of Mercury, which means with the information field. Lilith, meanwhile, distorts everything it touches and makes the person act negatively, spitefully, and to the detriment of others. Of course, this happens if the person does not consciously cut off meaningless chatter, gossip, slander, discussion, and judgment of other people. However, when moving from the low level to the higher one, they themselves have to become the target.

There are three stages in the manifestation of the Mercury – Lilith opposition in the native’s life:

1. The person is a source of incorrect, distorted information. Intentionally or unconsciously, they twist facts, pass on false rumors, and confuse other people, which becomes the cause of a chain of various problems and misfortunes.

2. The native themselves becomes a victim of gossip and rumors. They are given false or unreliable information, because of which they get into trouble and lose money or documents. Friends deceive them, and colleagues set them up.

3. The person sees where truth lies and where falsehood begins, knows how to separate the important from the secondary and falseness from truth, remains indifferent to criticism, and confidently uses the necessary information.

Lilith is always connected with karma. The native’s ancestors committed many misdeeds connected with the first stage of the aspect’s development.

There were betrayals, lies, thefts, and falsifications in the family line. The native must pass through these stages in order to cleanse karma and apply the talents of their forebears for good, because in a negative sense they brilliantly used the energy of the Mercury – Lilith opposition. This means the time has now come to reach the highest level of information management and serve the good.

The native’s mind and heart strive for different things. They may forbid themselves what they desire most, or, conversely, convince themselves that there is nothing reprehensible about the forbidden fruit. The second option is the most dangerous. The person proves to themselves that there is nothing terrible about slandering a colleague, because that colleague is supposedly unworthy of a high position, unlike the native. This is the aspect of Raskolnikov, who convinced himself that the money of the old pawnbroker was more necessary to him, and therefore a crime could be committed.

Positive Sides of the Mercury – Lilith Opposition

Information comes to the native from all sides, and they know how to turn it to their advantage. Such people make excellent lawyers and investigators. They do not shy away from digging through the most frightening and unsightly facts in order to pull the truth out of the filth. They are excellent detective writers who perfectly understand what is happening in the mind of a criminal and can beautifully convey the motives behind their actions. As actors, holders of the Mercury – Lilith opposition play villains with negative charm magnificently, as well as heroes entangled in the weave of good and evil.

The aspect gives a practical mind, an insatiable thirst for knowledge, communication, and intellectual creativity, so the lives of such people are very rich and interesting.

The Mercury – Lilith Opposition and Relationships

The native always tries to calculate how well-disposed another person is toward them, but often winds themselves up. If they receive a cold answer, a breakup scenario is already unfolding in their mind. If a husband does not answer calls, a woman with the Mercury – Lilith aspect already vividly imagines him with a mistress and works herself up to hysterics. Knowing this feature of the native’s thinking, the partner is better off giving no reason for jealousy or unnecessary suspicion.

In relationships, such people easily start quarrels, very often impulsively, when they perceive information from the partner superficially and therefore incorrectly from the start. The holder of the Mercury – Lilith opposition must always double-check what they have heard or read before making a decision regarding romantic matters, especially if the First – Seventh or Fifth – Eleventh House axis is involved. There will always be some understatement and misunderstanding here, which must be clarified.

How to Work Through the Mercury – Lilith Opposition

Because the conflict between reason and feeling throws the native from modest silence in the back row into a thirst to talk about everything in the world, perform on stage, and actively communicate with everyone as if they were best friends, it is necessary to find the golden mean. To do this, it is important to think through all phrases and speeches in advance, especially if Mercury is retrograde in the natal chart.

Such people are often misunderstood. Out of naïveté, they may accidentally blurt something out, only to discover that this was exactly what should not have been said aloud. Very often they cannot express their feelings clearly and understandably.

This can be corrected through rehearsals in front of a mirror or in phone conversations. Therefore, it is advisable to immediately write an approximate plan with separate talking points and ask the conversation partner several times for clarification in order not to get into trouble. It is good to engage in any team sport, but it should be original and interesting, and the person should also give up gossip and even criticism.
