Mercury square Jupiter: the meaning
A book project started ten times, a conversation that jumps from economics to philosophy in three sentences, a promise to hand in a file on Monday that becomes Friday: the Mercury-Jupiter square has this overflowing abundance.
Mercury and Jupiter meet here at a right angle. A Mercury in Pisces and a Jupiter in Gemini, to take one case, would pit an intuitive mind against a fluttering curiosity, each in a sign where its planet is uneasy.
They have plenty of ideas and the enthusiasm to defend them. They like to discuss, convince, and teach, but may talk more than they listen. They see the big picture and sometimes overlook the details that would make the difference, a clause, a figure, a date. They can also believe an appealing piece of information too quickly or generalize from a single case. This tension nonetheless makes them creative and able to open new paths where others go in circles.
The downside is intellectual excess. Too many projects, too many promises, too many certainties, not enough checking: Jupiter can make thought overflow. Astrologers advise writing ideas down to sort them later with a cool head, checking sources, and finishing one project before starting another. As the years go by, this original and generous mind often ends up finding its structure.
