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,
