Moon Opposition Mercury

Opposition of the Moon: By tempering the aggressiveness of your desires, you help establish peace on Earth. An opposition of a planet to the Moon gives a person a very biased attitude toward the planetary principle, which they perceive as vitally important, and in any case, they experience the planet's manifestations very emotionally. At a low level, a person constantly tries to take an egocentric position, i.e., internalize and emphasize the Moon, as a result of which the planetary principle is externalized, often in the form of another person onto whom all their own inner dissatisfaction and disharmony is projected. Thus, the partner is declared the culprit of all misfortunes, miseries, and dissatisfaction. For example, in the case of an opposition of the Moon to Mercury, the partner who carelessly gave good advice risks facing a hysterical outburst like: "I am so unhappy, and it's all your fault and your stupid advice and reasoning!" Deep down, a person, of course, feels that things are not so simple, that the planetary principle is somehow necessary for them, but they are absolutely unable to understand why and how to use it while remaining purely on egoistic grounds. This can lead to nervous and somatic illnesses if the chart is afflicted. From time to time (if the planet is stronger than the Moon), the emphasis shifts: the planetary principle becomes stronger than the lunar one and is internalized, while the Moon, on the contrary, is externalized. At a low level, a person continues to fight—with their mother (or her image), childhood habits they have grown tired of, their physical body, their homeland or people—taking the planetary principle (and the house where the planet is located) as the basis for their position. For example, in the case of an opposition of the Moon to Venus, the position taken is: "It is ugly to be fat and eat a lot," and the person goes on a grueling diet, but only until the Moon regains its dominant emphasis, after which they immediately suppress the desire for their own slimness and, munching on a sandwich with ham with great pleasure, watch figure skating competitions on TV without any second thoughts. Here, the main problem of reconciling planetary principles lies in the fact that the Moon must abandon the idea of all-consuming consumption of the planetary principle (otherwise it will perish), but at the same time, it must not starve the person to death, i.e., find a compromise "diet." Working through this is difficult, requiring self-sacrifice, discipline (Saturn), and inner honesty (Neptune, Pluto), but it yields wonderful results: a person very subtly, deeply, and confidently masters the planetary principle, which becomes for them a natural and reliable support. Opposition of Mercury: Before you speak, think—will your words insult your thought? An opposition to Mercury raises the issue of the relationship between the planet's principle and rational thinking. One should not think that a strong Mercury in the chart gives intelligence; the latter is determined more by the general evolutionary level, while as for Mercury, intelligence depends more on its development than on aspects. At a low level of development, dominant Mercury suppresses the planetary principle with mental clichés, profanes it, and mercilessly distorts it. For example, in the case of an opposition of Mercury to the Moon, an emphasis on Mercury leads to a person thinking in a completely formal way, strictly in accordance with social clichés: "To be healthy and happy, I should do gymnastics in the morning, get married at 20, have three children, and work without strain"—and they live, considering themselves happy or unhappy depending on how formally their life matches the given scheme, completely unable to hear the true voice of their own needs, even the most primitive ones, except in cases when the Moon decisively takes the main emphasis in this opposition for itself, fully turning off Mercury, or rather, subordinating it to itself, i.e., allowing only those thoughts into a person's mind that it itself generates. Then a person cannot get rid of, for example, obsessive thoughts about food or primitive but sweet sex, which sharply lowers the evolutionary level of their behavior or leads to strong frustrations, neuroses, or depression. Here, the development goes along the path of clarifying the role of thought in the manifestations of the planetary principle, which should generally be guided by thought but not controlled in every detail, let alone replaced by crude mental schemes. On the other hand, thought can also help develop new directions and materialize the planetary principle and should not become its obedient servant, as a person will repeatedly realize when sorting through the unimaginable chaos that arises after a long period of the planet's principle dominating the Mercurial one. At a high level, the planet's principle gains a stable channel into the mental plane, and the person receives exactly the thoughts they need to develop the planetary principle—this feeling of obedience of thought and language is unmistakable and gives a sense of absolute self-confidence in appropriate situations (those around begin to speak of the obvious and indisputable strength of talent, though it would be more accurate to say it is the stability of a well-developed opposition).

They indicate an excessively strong influence of emotions on a person’s actions and opinions, which makes them appear irrational and disorganized to others. This is an intelligent but highly sarcastic individual, overly sensitive, easily excitable, tense, restless, and fussy. Such a person is particularly attached to their own personality, strives to be loyal to friends, and insists on adhering to chosen principles at all costs—if only to maintain self-respect. Usually, such people bear the mark of egoism and are incapable of compromise. They often distort information about others and manipulate it for selfish gain, which is why many consider them unreliable in conveying opinions and descriptions. Their mind is sharp and agile, but their manner of expression is crude, superficial, and uninteresting. They lack concentration and are inconstant. Often, they direct all their abilities toward personal gain, sometimes acting against laws and decency. Such people dislike playing by established rules and often squander their intelligence on incomprehensible or supposedly advantageous actions. It is very difficult for them to remain honest. On journeys, they encounter numerous obstacles, and their inability to clearly articulate their ideas often earns them a reputation as shallow or reckless. Restlessness and excessive subconscious activity significantly influence their conscious behavior. Their mind is trapped in the past; they are extremely susceptible to fleeting moods, easily offended, and prone to melancholy.

Confusion and trouble in social relationships arise from their incessant chatter about trivial matters. Women, in particular, irritate their friends, who try to evade them. Emotions prevent them from thinking clearly and objectively and expressing themselves. They often take criticism personally. They are prone to nervousness and emotional agitation. Their health suffers from an unhealthy diet and lack of hygiene, or they are fanatics about cleanliness, both personal and domestic. They know no middle ground. They spend money on trivial things, often household items and clothing, or these things are excessively important to them. Mutual understanding within the family and with neighbors is poor. Excessive concern for loved ones leads to trouble.

Using abilities and talents improperly or dishonestly, contrary to rules, propriety, and the law. Often results in great inner restlessness, inconstancy, lack of composure or patience; nervousness; a restless, inconsistent, disordered, unfocused mind; mental and intellectual disorders. Poor temperament and character; sarcasm, a malicious tongue; ineptitude, helplessness; cunning, deceit, materialism, a love of gossip, sarcasm, a penchant for sensationalism, talkativeness, absurd behavior, and a poor memory. The positive side of these aspects is dexterity and ingenuity, a sharp mind, the ability to find a way around, the ability to see through deception and cunning, and excellent abilities and talents.

Your child may experience nervousness and anxiety. He will likely have difficulty separating feelings from rational ideas and find it difficult to express his needs. Emotions occupy a large place in him and do not allow him to think and speak clearly. Can be sentimental and tearful. Or talk about trifles all the time. Possible disorders of the nervous system and digestive tract. The relationship between mother and child is free. The child perceives the mother as a sociable person. But later disagreements and disputes may arise between them.

Opposition, quadrature: disagreement between the sensual and the rational. Inconsistency, frivolity, frivolity, susceptibility to outside influences, lack of composure, difficulties with self-expression, which often in childhood are expressed in stuttering and other speech disorders. A person perceives the world and expresses himself in different ways, which creates a gap between word and deed. There may also be a desire to speak rashly or to make lies and a tendency to fantasize.

It may be hard to find support for your ideas, and arguments may arise with those who oppose or challenge your way of thinking. You could find yourself thinking and presenting ideas that are out of place or don't go along with the current mood. Since you don't always pay attention to your own moods and feelings, some of your ideas may not even feel right to you. You could say things that upset or challenge those around you. You may be great at argument.
