description
Mercury square Saturn is a transit that often brings a somber tone to our thoughts and communications. During this period, Mercury, representing our mind, communication, and information processing, clashes with Saturn, the planet of restriction, discipline, and challenges. This aspect can result in critical thinking, sometimes skewing towards pessimism or severity. It often feels like a mental roadblock, where ideas and words don't flow freely and may be met with skepticism or criticism.
This transit demands precision and depth in thinking. It's not satisfied with superficial explanations and instead pushes for thorough understanding and well-structured thoughts. The pressure to perform can be intense, leading to feelings of inadequacy or mental strain. However, this is also a powerful time for focused work that requires meticulous attention to detail. It's about learning through difficulties, structuring your thoughts, and perhaps dealing with necessary but challenging paperwork or studies.
