Planetary War Series - Moon-Mercury Conjunction
Today, Moon-Mercury Conjunction in PWS. Please read the introductory article here - https://www.astrosaxena.com/PWS-Intro.
Moon - Moon represents Mind, Emotions, Mother, Local Government, Peace
of Mind, Home Environment, Water, Milk etc.
Mercury - Mercury represents communication skills, marketing, calculative
ability, younger siblings, hobbies, skills with hands, intelligence, quick
decision making, logical thinking, youthfulness etc.
Moon-Mercury
Conjunction - These two are natural
enemies to each other due to mythological story where Moon was illegitimate
father of Mercury. So, they have some serious enmity going on. So, this is not
a very good conjunction to have. Only good thing attached here is that both are
not malefic planets (Moon is benefic and Mercury is Neutral). So, even if they
are together, there is no serious damage to house like if Saturn-Mars were
together. Now, where it can create trouble? Moon is Mind and Mercury is
Travelling. So, this person's mind can never be still at one thing. It is
always full of ideas. Before they start working on one idea, 10 other ideas can
come to them. And that's where the problem is. They may not be able to take one
decision and stick with it. It can be a good business mind with lots of ideas
or good mind with lots of writing/creative ideas but person may not be able to
stick with one decision for a long term to see the benefits of that decision.
Of course, person will improve with age and maturity, but in early life it can
be a real worry. Also, they can be very talkative and if both planets are in wrong
dignity, majority of their talks can be worthless. At the same time, this can
be a very good business mind and person can be very inquisitive too. Mind will
love to travel. As always, Moon is easily impacted by the nature of Mercury. If
Mercury is well placed like in Virgo, then these people can be highly
analytical, critical and perfectionist. They can be real clever or even cunning
people. But overall, this conjunction may not be good for mind and mental
health. Meditation is best remedy for them but Meditating can be a real hard
task for their wandering mind. So, diverting thoughts to meaningful destination
can be the biggest challenge for these people. They can do well in any field
related with Communication, Counselling and Teaching. This conjunction also
shows someone whose Mother can be a Counsellor/Teacher or in the field of
writing or travelling.
This conjunction
is best when Moon-Mercury are in Taurus as Moon is exalted and Mercury is in
its best friend's sign. Here, Mind/Moon will find its balance/stability in
Earth Sign and will be able to properly utilize the ideas of Mercury. Leo
is another sign where they can work well together as both are in friendly sign
but it will be more helpful in creative or finance related work.
In most of the
other signs, either of or both of planets are not in good dignity. In
Aries, Cancer, Sagittarius and Pisces, Moon is well placed but Mercury is in
enemy or debilitated sign. As Mercury is still impacting Moon, it shows person's
mind is unable to manage wayward thoughts/ideas of Mercury.
In Gemini,
Virgo, Libra, Capricorn & Aquarius, Mercury is strong and Moon is in enemy
signs. It shows that person's mind is becoming too analytical, critical and
perfectionist.
In Scorpio, both
planets are in bad dignity. The only field where this conjunction can work is research
oriented field as person can be very curious to know about secret stuff.
In relationship
matters, it can be a difficult conjunction as Moon/Mind is the reason by which
we connect to other person in relationship and here mind is forever running. This
makes it difficult for them to commit to one relationship and sustain it over a
long time. They can have some serious issues with their parents too.
Hope this helps. Thanks,
SPB

I have this conjunction in 1st house in cancer but I did not face relationship problems with parents or spouse. Neecha Bhanga Jupiter from 7th is aspecting cancer. Will that help in reducing the ill effects of this combination?
