This aspect has been always puzzling me. I got into Astrology deeply when I was in the 9th grade in high school. In 10th grade, I had a Geometry teacher whose Mercury conjunct mines by 5 degrees. Most textbook definitions I read online for Mercury conj Mercury say that the two are able to understand what each other is saying without any problem and usually are on the same page when it comes to thinking and problem solving.For whatever reason, I just couldn't understand anything my Geometry teacher was teaching me although we had the Mercury conjunction and I miserably failed her class. But I did relate to her a lot when she would speak about anything non-related to Math & I always thought she was a good person outside of being a teacher. Maybe that's because we also had our Venus conj. to the exact degree & also our Mars conjunct. But anyways, Math wasn't always my thing (even though I have Mercury trine Uranus) but I could learn it if I put the extra effort in. But after taking her class, I was puzzled astrologically. I would often ask myself: ''Well gosh, how could I not understand her style of teaching if our Mercuries, Venus & Mars are conjunct?'' ''Maybe I failed just because I wasn't good in Math to begin with''. I know other Mercury aspects and everything would have to be looked upon in synastry. But does anyone have any insight into this?

Very interesting!I'm suspecting a possible SATURN square (or affliction) and PALLAS involvement -- also by square, opposition, semisquare -- something hard, or hardish. IP: Logged |

Well, that was a very interesting discovery for me, thank you for that.I just found out 70% of my friends have Mercury in Aquarius. Sag and Cap as second place. (I have Mercury sq Saturn and an exact Mercury/Jupiter quincunx) And Leo as the 3rd, usually on my Moon. These other signs have a Mercury/Uranus aspect in most cases. Only one has Mercury in Libra, a very bright fellow; right on my Mars in Libra, which makes our exchanges very intense. He antagonizes me, and me him, many times. He is more or less my astro twin. I have a Libra Mercury. That was incredibly interesting, to discover this Aqua connection For me, Mercury and Uranus in Libra, so the same dispositor. So no, I don't think having the same Mercury is the best communication; aspects seem to prevail.
