Mercury-Saturn trine

Past.

What it changes

How you think and speak · What you take seriously, and where you hold yourself to a line

It flows so easily you do not notice it.

Why?
Mercury in Leo → · Saturn in Aries →

Mercury governs… how you think and speak — the pace, the level of detail, what you keep to yourself. Saturn governs… what you take seriously, and where you hold yourself to a line.

It concerns you if your birthday falls…

  • 2–6 AprilSaturn sits on your Sun, to the degree.
  • 5–9 AugustMercury 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.
