Sun Conjunct Mercury in the Natal Chart
Because the Sun and Mercury are never more than 28 degrees apart, the only major aspect they can make in a natal chart is the conjunction.
Sun conjunct Mercury
Because the ego and the mind are aligned, people with Sun conjunct Mercury possess much mental energy. They are always in a position to think about what they want, and in many ways, this is an interruption of the will. Mercury brings definition to whatever it contacts, and when aligned with the Sun, the natives apply logic and definition to the will–and the will generally works better when it is allowed to “just be” rather than be analyzed. The result is much intelligence and communication ability, and a lot of pride invested in intellectual capacities.
These people may not listen as well as they speak, however! They might be too busy thinking about what to say next. As far as studying or learning goes, they are better off reading the material than listening to a teacher. These traits come from a strong need to take an active role in communications. It is very hard for these people to passively listen and absorb information.
Their opinions are usually strong and they are independent thinkers. Because they can be quite proud of their opinions and thoughts, they might easily get a bruised ego if they don’t feel “heard,”, if their opinions are pushed aside or ignored, or if their opinions are criticized. Sun conjunct Mercury people are expressive and, in some cases, very animated speakers.
