Mercury sextile Ascendant natal makes you appear friendly, pleasant, agreeable, optimistic, active and youthful. You are intellectual, creative, and enthusiastic, with acute senses and a sharp wit. This makes you curious, willing to take chances, and eager to learn. You also have a remarkable ability to assimilate information and knowledge.

You are also flexible and adaptable. Like a chameleon, you can fit into many situations and make people comfortable. You have many interests, are multitalented, and often change styles, but sometimes appear nervous or restless.

Communication is your strength with words, body language, facial expressions, and hand gestures. You could be a writer, public speaker, scientist, or politician. And with your physical and manual dexterity, you could also be an artist, actor, musician, or racecar driver. You are youthful and good with kids, so that you would be a good school teacher and parent.

A Mercury sextile to the Ascendant gives a particular talent for sharing new and clever ideas and conveying your point effectively. You make people feel genuinely interested in them, so they open up and share their experiences with you. One-to-one relationships are the best way to express yourself and learn the most. Collaboration is the key to your success. This can include marriage, lifelong friendships, business partnerships, and general cooperation and networking.

At school, you likely strived for top marks but may also have been the class clown. You are probably better at rational thought and sharing ideas than at sharing your feelings. And although partnerships are your strength, you may have more than one marriage because of your never-ending curiosity and need for stimulation.

Mercury Sextile Ascendant Transit

Mercury sextile Ascendant transit makes you more friendly, pleasant, agreeable and optimistic. It especially makes you more active, both mentally and physically. Expect more personal interaction, primarily through one-on-one relationships. This could include meeting children, siblings, and friends, as well as traveling locally for appointments and shopping. And, of course, talking and texting on your phone these days.

Your mind will have many questions, but it will also come up with many answers. This is an excellent time for learning, teaching, meetings, debating, negotiations, and sharing ideas. Excellent verbal and nonverbal communication skills enable you to convey your point more effectively.

This is also a good time for collaboration, networking, cooperation, seeking, and giving advice. New partnerships will be highly successful, encompassing both professional and business relationships, romantic relationships, and social friendships.

Increased creativity, inventiveness, and manual dexterity are assets for working with your hands, voice, and mind. This can be applied to writing, drawing, painting, sculpting, singing, acting, designing, and constructing things, as well as all physical and sporting activities.
