Mercury Opposite Saturn Natal and Transit

Mercury opposite Saturn maximum orb 6°30′.

Mercury opposite Saturn natal brings frustration and sadness due to an inability to connect with others. This can stem from poor communication skills, pessimism, shyness, hearing problems or a poor attention span.

This aspect is also associated with sadness, slow thinking, poor judgment, mistakes, misinterpretation, disappointment and arguments. You may think others always disagree with or nag you, but the problem usually starts with you.

However, with patience, hard work and persistence, you can develop mental toughness. With maturity comes intelligence, wisdom, more thorough preparation and decision-making, and a subtle, studious, keen, and profound mind, along with an interest in occult or deeply philosophical subjects.

Loneliness and social awkwardness can also result from an inability to share your knowledge clearly and understandably. Your speech may seem dull, too negative, or technical. But there is hope because Saturn is a late bloomer. The constant struggle to be heard and taken seriously can lead to mastery of communication, often in writing but sometimes in speech.

The Internet offers an excellent opportunity to communicate more effectively, giving you extra time to fully understand and respond to messages. You also have a talent for understanding symbols and the deeper meaning of images.

In general, negative thinking can lead to sadness and depression. Growing up, you may be subject to demeaning or harsh words from a parent, usually your father, teachers, and other authority figures. This negative conditioning can lead you to assume people are criticizing you later in life, even when they are not.

Rewiring your brain with positive affirmations takes conscious effort. This requires continual hard work, as does practicing clear communication. Otherwise, depression and improper handling of matters will continue to cause frustration and a lack of opportunity. Others will then continue to see you as lonely, sad, abrupt, or mean, with a rigid attitude and narrow-minded ideas.

Take extra care when making important decisions, especially those related to relationships. Also, take extra care when signing contracts or making significant investments. You may have a critical eye, but you could also make mistakes.
