hannaramaa | I was reading what Mercury sextile Mars means, and cafeastrology.com noted this aspect helps the native "detect the weakness in others." I would like to hear real life examples of this if you don't mind sharing, and also for you to list what sign your Mars is in and how it's aspected to Mercury if at all. |
PiscesCancerTaurus | I have mercury sextile mars but with a wide orb. I don't know if I can detect someones weaknesses but I know that after I spend a day with them I can usually pinpoint their bad habits. I'm not sure if you consider that the same thing. |

Pisces, do you have Pluto conjuncting Mercury or Mars? I do have Pluto Conjunct Mercury in a very close orb. Both in the 12th house, and I do sense the weakness in people.

No my Pluto is not conjunct my Mercury or Mars but it is trine my Mercury. |
Newrise | I have the aspect and with a close orb too. I'd agree with the statement. It's very natural and sometime uncomfortable. But Venus in Pisces helps me like them despite But sometimes it definitely takes some focus to unfocus the weaknesses.. If you know what I mean. I'd like to use this power for good, but definitely 'consciously' use it |
m.blade | I have moon and mercury trine pluto and yes defo after speaking to someone for abit I can make these sorts of inferences |

My Mars is at 2 Gemini 10th house and it's 15 degrees away from Mercury in Taurus in the 9th. I had this aspect going on around the beginning of March this year and yeah, I guess now that I think about it I was aware of some weaknesses in my working environment. People were either not talking or talking just because they wanted something. I actually really didn't like where I was working mostly because there was so little communication going on that it created some misunderstandings that later became business problems. The people I was working for just expected me to already know everything mostly because they didn't want to fund research or anything else useful. But I don't think this aspect or transit will show you weaknesses that aren't there and I don't think it will blind you to strengths if any. |
hannaramaa | If your Mars was in Gemini and Mercury in Taurus then they wouldn't sextile? Also, what are "weaknesses"? I need examples of that or what you detect in people that others don't see? Someone said bad habits and I agree. I see others bad habits but I didn't know that would be attributes to this aspect, I thought that was more Saturn based.

Sextile is 60 degrees with +/- 4 orb... Mars at 29 Gem and Merc at 0 Taurus are sextile I would think. In my experience the "weakness" was just lack of communication. The people I worked with expected me to know how things operate there and had been operating there for a long time without any explanation or prior experience. The clients expected me to learn their cases and do research on my own time because "I should already know that." It was only a weakness in so far as it wasn't a formula for success for me. |
Doux Rêve | ^ Sounds like your Pluto / Saturn in the 3rd house like I stated previously in your thread. Hanna,
I think there's some truth to it. I know people with Mars square Mercury and they can be quite sharp mentally and have a good "flair" for weaknesses and overall inconsistencies in people's words or behaviour. |
