Hi
I have been trying to establish the condition of Mercury in my Natal chart and was wondering if somebody would be willing to assist me in understanding the synastry of it all a little better.
I have Mercury in Sagittarius which I have come to learn is in detriment. This as I understand it puts Mercury in its most vulnerable position. Now dont laugh, but in addition to that it is also in opposition to Saturn in Gemini and is 4 deg 40 min from the Sun, resulting in it being "combust".
I have been searching for criteria that might strengthen or be of assistance to Mercury. I have discovered a few things and am not quite sure about the collective overall condition they leave Mercury in.
So far I have established that
Mercury has dignity in terms of the planets
Mercury is in Mutual reception with Jupiter in Aquarius as far as triplicity is concerned. That is if I am interpreting it correctly. Mercury is the nocturnal ruler of Aquarius and Jupiter is the nocturnal ruler of Sagittarius. These two planets have exchanged places with each other and therefore I assume that there is a mutual reception between them.
Is this a correct assumption of me? and does this relationship help strengthen a Mercury in detriment in any way?
Jupiter is also the dispositor of Mercury in Sagittarius and the sextile aspect connecting them is that of a harmonious nature. I have not been able to as of yet determine if this helps the debilitated state of Mercury at all. The way I see it is, Jupiter is welcoming Mercury in his house by the harmonious aspect that connects them. Is this correct ?
Mars has essential dignity and is connected to Mercury via a semi sextile aspect. This I have read is a neutral aspect, I have also read however that it is a weak but beneficial aspect. This leaves me at an indecision to whether or not Mars is of any assistance to Mercury.
Saturn which is in opposition to Mercury is dignified by terms of planets. I have not found any literature to how that affects its opposition aspect to Mercury, is it better or worse for Mercury or neutral ?
I have attached my chart and these are my planet placements.
Sun 11 Sag 23
Moon 24 Tau 48
Mercury 16 Sag 03
Venus 23 Sag 52
Mars 17 Sco 39
Jupiter 18 Aqu
Saturn 21 Gem 49
Any assistance with regards to this would really be helpful
Kind Regards
Charlie
