Mercury sextile Jupiter maximum orb 4°00′.
Mercury sextile Jupiter natal broadens your mind via questioning and curiosity. A comprehensive knowledge, open-mindedness, and broad outlook on life can lead to careers in the arts or diplomacy, where the gift of self-expression can gain renown. Your diplomatic skills will often be called upon to resolve disagreements between friends and within larger groups of people.
As Mercury rules short-distance travel and Jupiter rules long-distance travel, journeys far and wide will bring fulfillment and further knowledge. This is a very social aspect, and you should enjoy a wide circle of friends who will appreciate your keen interest and expertise in many fields.
Objective thinking and the ability to plan are other assets, making you a good judge of character with excellent decision-making skills. Open and transparent self-expression is a talent used by many famous writers and actors, even directors, with this aspect. Journal or diary writing should be important to you, even if not in these fields.
Mercury Sextile Jupiter Transit
Mercury sextile Jupiter transit favors thinking about and planning your future. A broad outlook and excellent decision-making skills allow you to visualize the preferred path. The positive thinking associated with this transit is another reason why looking ahead is ideal.
Good communication skills and open self-expression make socializing rich and fulfilling. Making friends comes easier as others find you more approachable and friendly. You can also count on diplomacy and tact in your communications and dealings. This is an ideal time for debating, negotiating better deals, and signing business contracts.
The easy uptake of ideas and good concentration mean you can study or take exams with less stress than usual. Even if you are not a student, increased curiosity favors reading up on your favorite topic. Planning or setting out on a vacation or other adventure is preferred, with both these planets having rulership over travel and the sextile aspect ensuring all goes well.

I have this natal aspect, Cancer mercury Taurus Jupiter 18. Jupiter trine Jupiter, Mercury trine Mercury now. I have Chiron 18 Pisces, Neptune 15 Scorpio. Oppositions in the flowing trine energies, “awareness of others” I’ll say, in my present opportunity for planning my future on this Chiron return. Pluto Trine Pluto and “7 year-itch” Saturn Square Saturn separate. Jupiter opposes `N Chiron, Mercury/New Moon opposes `N Jupiter in 7th House. “Overbearing influence of others.” Today I’m taking time to write my First House New Moon affirmations/wishes, planning of more specific undertakings set for tomorrow.
This is the period I looked at as a big deal when I began studying 22 years ago, looking at the furthest planet, Pluto, and the intriguing `planety thing, Chiron, both being self-activating now. In-my-face attachment issues with House 5 Chiron, Amazing August Venus trine Uranus sextile overhead, sextile midpoint of their Jupiter on my chart ruler Venus. Cosmic connection/flash in the pan becomes an awful pain. Burning through the alchemical resistance-heat to purify my soul of the non-shareable pseudo-love of immature clinging to magnificent beautiful values. Beginning a new life from the howling-into-the-abyss ashes is hard on this Cancer Sun native. Great to know this is the birthing pains of the better me.
Good interpretation James, I like the term birthing pains. related to Chiron or Pluto?
I have this Sextile in a Yod Pattern. Ascendant (Aries/1st house) – Mercury (Sagittarius/9th house) – Jupiter (Leo/5th house). The knowledge of this pattern is new for me and I don’t quite what it means. I don’t know if a Yod Pattern is reliably to be used in the natal chart interpretation, but I think this could mean that the self-expression has to be made by creativity (maybe) gained through the experience of long distance travel (physically or spiritually). Or are there other interpretations, namely vocational?
