Mercury sextile Mars maximum orb 3°30′.
Mercury sextile Mars natal gives a very sharp mind and tongue with a fighting spirit. Your intelligence and quick reflexes, both mentally and physically, make you a formidable opponent in any competitive field that rewards strong, independent thought. Importantly, you don’t just theorize but act confidently on your instincts. You can be very driven to succeed with a strong sense of purpose. A strong work ethic and initiative will earn you respect, especially from strong men.
You are very active and must be kept busy with valuable and productive work. Although you can be very direct and sometimes even forceful, you enjoy socializing, and others will appreciate your stimulating company. A certain amount of tact and charisma is required for this aspect, but your honesty and cutting remarks may sometimes be perceived as offensive. The truth does hurt sometimes, but someone has to say it.
Your courage and self-belief can lead to risk-taking behavior. However, your rapid response time and strong intuition mean you will often find yourself on solid ground. Your love life benefits from your ability to arouse with your words and body language. You may enjoy flirting and would have no problem picking up.
Paddy Ashdown, who has Mercury sextile Mars at under one minute orb, is a stunning example of this aspect. He is a formidable British politician who vigorously lobbied for military action against Yugoslavia in the 1990s. Once an army intelligence officer and then a diplomat. He is also an interpreter and fluent in many languages.
Mercury Sextile Mars Transit
Mercury sextile Mars transit speeds up your mind and reflexes. You will feel driven to succeed at something with your strong sense of purpose and initiative. You can quickly achieve a lot of work with the courage and fighting spirit to take on almost anything. Manual labor, business matters, and negotiations are favored, but you would succeed at anything requiring extra effort to get things off the ground.
You can be as direct and honest as you like in achieving your desires and enlisting the support of others. This is an ideal time to finish things you have previously put in the too-hard basket. You may want to further a just cause or stand up for your or someone else’s rights.
Socializing and your love life will benefit from an extra boost of charisma and intellectual attractiveness. This would be a great time to pop the question or ask someone out on a date. You are more willing to take bold actions that you would otherwise be too shy or cautious about. Flirting will appeal to you, and you could easily sway someone special with your sexy words and body language.

Budget Day in Canada.
Synastry with April 8, 2024 North American Solar Eclipse.

There is a lot of flow in this synastry, but the tightest aspect is Sun/Solar Eclipse semi-sextile Jupiter.
One can speculate with this chart, that the bi-annual rhythm becomes more pronounced.
Uh, no, that should say, Semi Annual. But you can have something else twice a year, like a vacation?
Thanks Jamie for mentioning the late,great Paddy Ashdown. He passed away too soon just a few years ago. However, I wondered what diplomatic & military intervention he would advocate for the horrendous war that Russia is inflicting on Ukraine civilians. Surely the indiscriminate killings cannot go on? Nato must deploy its military capability. Otherwise, we’re all kinda complicit in watching Putin (Libra Sun) masquerading as another Hitler (Aries Sun)!!!
Just looking at the roll of astrologyking conversation the last 24 hours, my instincts tell me Paddy sees a Diplomatic pattern in the current Sunspot cycle:
Cycle 25 beginning, mentioned at Jupiter-Saturn.
Recent diplomacy hidden as war and pandemic in modulating phase, Americas, Europe and China, surprisingly at Elon Musk thread and all over the place with Jamie’s sponsored Horseman, War Actors and Musicology threads, especially Mars, Pluto, Eris higher Octave At Olivia Rodrigo.
At this thread, Solar Eclipse (2024) , a further build to his own Mercury sextile Mars, and the Mars-Saturn synodic.
Paul you forgot Russia. Europe is disfunctional. Europe is nothing. Only functional for US-geostrategic plans – E pluribus unum but for whom ? Ask yrselves…
Ah ja Paul….and as you mentioned “supersonic superfly” Elon now i have to mention Donaldus Maximus seems to have adopted his second jewish son in law after Jared Kushner….therefor he once had to fire his former “anti-semitic” alt-right vote-gainer-machine alcoholic Steve Bannon.
I do like Jamie’s analyses and I use them at times to help me plan. Not much planning ahead can be done though with no post on the upcoming solstice or full moon with only a day or two to go.
Mercury-mars is the trap that catches itsself. You try to avoid and rationalize the aggessivity of mars. Bit it may come back to you. Verbal erotic but nervous when it comes to.
Jamie Ashdown was either delusional or he lied about what the serbs allegedly did. Read wikipedia article you cited…
Very interesting in light of the Elon versus Donald spat yesterday.
just as interesting, Whitehouse anǹouncing three General nominations, given this threads military example
“Trump is nominating Lt. Gen. Alexus Grynkewich as commander of U.S. European Command, Vice Adm. Brad Cooper to lead U.S. Central Command (Centcom) and Air Force Lt. Gen. Dagvin Anderson to head U.S. Africa Command. The announcements for Cooper and Anderson were made Wednesday, and Grynkewich’s happened Thursday.
“Getting” is the operative word used to describe the essence of Mars.
” Mars in Leo lends a ‘masculine’ influence, which means it you are male you lean towards the macho and chauvinistic. If you are female you find that kind of man irresistable, often despite yourself. If this expression of rank masculinity invites trouble, then it needs to be taken to a higher level. Perhaps Carl Jung’s definition of the masculine principle, which is present in both men and women, will be help here: Masculinity is the desire to GET what you want and the ability to do so. ”
Watkins Astrology Handbook pg248
“Thinking” is the operative essence of Mercury In Gemini, Thinking through communication.
“I have total confidence we will get there on the five per cent and we will hammer out some of the details we still have to work on,” Rutte said after Thursday’s meeting. “We all know we will be safe for the next couple of years, but then we need to use those years to learn Russian if we don’t do this.”

Interesting choice of words, NATO/military example in Mercury sextile Mars, and an example of the translator aspect, Mercury sextile Jupiter. Check Rutte’s Thor’s Hammer, those three planets.
