Hmm, well it depends on the signs involved. if the aspecting signs are both of the same element, then conjoining planets are more comprehensive of each other than trine. Trine makes the relationship harmonious, easy, but not always understanding. Though an easy connection is favorable, the capacity for understanding pales in comparison to sharing both element and quality. In fact, many times conjunctions don't feel like separate, related, individual perspectives, but one shared perspective. The same goes for planets. Two Moons conjoined in the same sign are more likely to share an understanding about life. Mercury and Lunar energies are both personal mechanisms, but Mercury's energy is symbol oriented and the Moon is sentiment oriented. Strictly speaking, a conjunction or trine between Mercury and the Moon may cause the Moon person to really FEEL what the Mercury person is communicating. They may find comfort or a need being met by the way the Mercury person communicates with them. The Mercury person on the other hand, may notice their communication is easy, feels naturally personal, and safe. Moon on Moon action is more of an unspoken knowing. You identify instincts and personal needs within the other person that resonate deeply with your own instincts and needs. You may also notice both of you see your selves in a similar light, or have the same expectations of your self as the other person. the relationship revolves less around how you communicate with each other and more about how you feel most comfortable with your self and your personal space. When a Lunar/Lunar conjunction happens, there is a blur between where one person's personal space begins and the other person's ends. The two sort of just bleed into each other. Mercury/Moon = a conversation on your living room couch. Moon/Moon = snuggling up with someone on your living room couch and watching a movie.

I've experienced Moon cj Moon in synastry, and it felt/feels that somehow there is a similar emotional way that it can promote easier understanding of each other. Even with Moon in trine signs, there is just something that makes it easier to get along and understand each other emotionally, even thought we can be very different in preferences and lifestyle.Mercury compatibility is another great thing, our way of communicating is easier for each other to understand which gives less misunderstandings (thought incompatible Moons can still affect this).

It depends on what you want.Moon-Moon is good for mutual understanding. You just get each other. I prefer Moon trine if the Moon sign is boring or more passive. Moon conjunctions work for fun/energetic signs. Moon-Mercury is quite pleasant too. It's like music to your heart. It's better for those who need words to assure each other of feelings. I think both trines and conjunctions are pleasant. IP: Logged |

I think it's Mercury conjunct Mercury (or even just Mercury being in the same sign). IP: Logged |

I disagree only because Mercury is head based, not from the heart. I think to feel at home and loved by someone the moon must be involved. IP: Logged |

Feel free to but I stand by it. Moon conjunctions dont really mean much if your thought processes (Mercury) seem totally foreign to them and if everytime you communicate with one another (Mercury) you don't understand each other. The moon is emotions. Yeah, having emotions that operate on the same or a similar wavelength is good, but I think if you don't have good communication and the way the other person's brain works seems weird to you, you've got nothing really. I'm speaking from personal experience - my relationship where we had Mercury in the same sign, at its best, operated way better than the relationships I had where there were pleasant moon contacts but the Mercury signs clashed. Guys whose Mercury squares mine think I'm weird and don't understand anything I say or do - my sister has her moon trine mine, and we aren't on the same page at all, our ways of being and thinking are totally foreign to each other (her Mercury is in Cap; mine is in Leo), and we genuinely dislike each other and have only now stopped bsing about it lol.

Couldn't the same be said about easily aspected Mercury with hard aspected Moon? Of course when there is a hard aspect to Mercury communication is difficult. Factoring out other aspects though and just looking at Moon/Mercury vs Moon/Moon I think it comes down to preference. Some people (Air influenced people for example) identify more with intellectual safety over a feeling of sentimental safety. Those people are likely to feel more understood via Mercury. Bare-bones conjunctions of the same planet are more understanding of each other, because they are essentially the same energy. If we factor in other planetary aspects, we have to also factor in how those individuals personally perceive their own charts. A person with Saturn square Moon and a person with all easy natal Lunar aspects, have totally different personal perspectives when sharing a Moon conjunction. The Saturn person may feel restrained from having their needs met, while the easy aspect person might consider their needs being met natural. Regardless of the essential similarity of their Lunar energies, both people have very different personal relationships to that aspect before they start sharing an aspect with another person. The OP question is a little rigged, because when all the factors are considered: different strokes for different folks. And sorry but all this talk of Moon Moon has pushed me to post this.

I thought so too. It's obviously great for intellectual understanding but when I asked this I was thinking more in terms of empathy (but I can't find the right words a lot of the time so I substitute.) in which case Mercury - Mercury I just don't agree with. IP: Logged |
