Exact aspect

Mercury-Mars square
9 December 2026.

Exact in 35 days.

What it changes

How you think and speak · What you go after, and how you fight when you meet resistance

It grinds, and that grinding is what moves you.

Why?
Mercury in Sagittarius → · Mars in Virgo →

Mercury governs… how you think and speak — the pace, the level of detail, what you keep to yourself. Mars governs… what you go after, and how you fight when you meet resistance.

It concerns you if your birthday falls…

  • 26–30 AugustMars sits on your Sun, to the degree.
  • 25–29 NovemberMercury sits on your Sun, to the degree.

Calculated over every birth from 1920 to 2030 (Paris day): depending on the year, the Sun can be a day early or late, hence the range. Your Sun is only one point of your chart: the app also looks at the other nine, to the minute.

The square — 90°

The friction angle: the two functions want incompatible things and force each other to move. Uncomfortable and productive — most people build their lives on their squares.
