Hahah i can imagine cardinal mercuries being competitive to express their ideas and one interrupting the other, i'd never want them in the same room for too long

now...

My S.O. has Mercury in Aries. We are often irritated by each other over minor things. He is really inquisitive and asks a lot of questions. I tend to blurt out stories, too. I am usually not that type.

Thus, I think Mercury square Mercury varies in flavour and manifestation for each synastry. Also, individual maturity will lessen the negative effect of this placement.

From Astrowin.org description of this aspect, it says that...

===============
"Mercury square Mercury

According to Lois Rodden, "With MERCURY square MERCURY you'll often find that people initially will be somewhat wary of each other. MERCURY is spontaneously friendly. MERCURY makes quick connections with people. When MERCURY is square someone else's MERCURY, there may be some reticence to involve yourself with them too quickly. There is an initial obstacle or incompatibility that stands between you. That difference may be an attitude or circumstances. Change in understanding is needed for the breakthrough to communication. However, once that breakthrough is made, a bond is built that is mutually stimulating. However, unless both the people make that effort, they will regard each other with a degree of wary formality." It's like you somehow have to work your way into the relationship. MERCURY square MERCURY relationships can be some of the finest relationships you can have, people who have a deep bond of enduring friendship. The relation can include problems, but the give-and-take leads to growth of understanding.

When this aspect occurs between people, you find that the people think entirely different; they express their thoughts totally differently. Often times you'll find that the two people constantly interrupt each other. This aspect is a stimulating aspect, but it's MERCURY stimulating MERCURY to talk. You may find yourselves repeatedly cutting each other off.

I have a clear preference for Mercury in Sagittarius, followed by Aries, and then Aqua and Libra. I am quite easy like that, tuned into the conjunction, trine and sextile when it comes to Mercury-Mercury.

I do get along well with Mercury-Mars though, though usually in the conjunction, which is very different from a square of course.

Mercury in Cap naturally have a mature way of thinking, so you kept quiet and decided not to annoy him back. I understand, i have pr Merc in Cap and sometimes i tend to do the same.
Mercury in Aries is a little bit difficult to deal with i think, they might instigate silly fights more often and it's hard to keep it cool hahah. I'm not saying they're all like this.
That's a really good description, thanks!

@yungang_grotto
I can imagine Mercury sq Mars being veeery unpleasant. Never experienced it though. I know that Moon-Mercury square is one of the worst aspects.
I like Draconic astrology so much, i'll check that out! can't believe i forgot.

@Ceridwen
That's interesting, i'm a little confused about dispositor planets but i'll read more about it later. I like your Jupiter placement so much.

I've been thinking a lot lately about how mental connection is important in any close relationship, but i used to overlook Merc-Merc aspects.

However the awfulness of this house tends to only come out after living together. Mercury rules the day to day chores and daily life is about that. When the way too people view daily life are at serious odds it becomes impossible to be with the other person.

I had this with a long time partner. Communicating was always an issue, but it wasn't until we lived together that communicating became soul crushing. I would try to speak to him about things and he'd block me from saying them or would make himself unavailable to hear anything. Then he'd complain about the results that came from that.

Anyways, with him, I found we often come to the same conclusions when we discuss things. Only that he takes a different road then I.

I'm much more radical and stubborn in my mindset and opinions. Its more or less all black n white with me. He can be more chill.

We share many interests like science, technology and religion and politics, but even when we have same and similar opinions there is friction.

Often there is misunderstandings, until we realise after back n fort discussions, that we think the same!
