Mercury-Saturn Conjunction
The Mercury-Saturn Conjunction tends not to deliver especially good results, even though Mercury and Saturn are generally considered friendly toward one another.

Meaning of the Conjunction

  • You tend to move and act slowly throughout your life.
  • Slow speech is common, and others may find it a little tedious to follow.
  • You may have started speaking rather late in life, resulting in delayed speech patterns.
  • An introverted nature often makes social situations genuinely difficult.
  • A fearful disposition can make it hard to share your ideas openly with others.
  • You tend to speak seriously, putting a great deal of thought into what you say.
  • Long written communication often appeals to you as a healthy outlet for your energy.
  • Extensive research can turn into an excellent career path for you.
  • Many with this placement do well as legal counsellors, achieving real professional success.
  • Sibling relationships tend to feel distant and perfunctory.
  • Communication often takes considerable effort and time on your part.
  • A strong sense of justice is common, and you tend to stand up for what's right.

Who Wins the Conjunction

Saturn tends to win the Mercury-Saturn Conjunction, since Mercury's neutral nature gives way under its influence, taking on Saturn's traits and becoming somewhat malefic itself.

Dignity and Strength

  • Taurus, Gemini, Virgo, Libra, Capricorn, and Aquarius - this conjunction tends to work out extremely well, since Mercury and Saturn are friendly, neutral, or exalted here.
  • Sagittarius and Pisces - good results are common, though they may only arrive later in life.
  • Cancer - this placement can leave you emotionally reserved, which may push you toward writing or caregiving.
  • Aries and Scorpio - results tend to be difficult in most respects, though you may gain considerable technical knowledge.
  • Leo - this conjunction tends to be detrimental, since Saturn sits in an inimical position.

Conclusion

Despite Mercury and Saturn being natural friends, the Mercury-Saturn Conjunction tends to bring rather distressing outcomes.
