Transit Mercury Opposite Natal Mercury
Your thoughts meet their opposite. These days other people's arguments help you test how solid your views really are.
Transiting Mercury stands opposite your natal Mercury, and conversations turn into a comparison of two points of view. People around you reason differently, ask questions, challenge your conclusions. It can be tiring, especially if you are used to being right. But new ideas are born in a dispute when both sides listen. Find a balance between defending your opinion and acknowledging someone else's. Felt for a few days around the exact date.
