Sun conjuncts Mercury
This is a bright aspect that should find everyone bubbly and talkative, if not a little confused. Everyone will want to talk about themselves, so it 's not the time to find a good listener. That's alright, because today you'll need to clarify and publicize your own plans and ideas. Fast clear thinking can make business efforts effective.

Mercury and the Sun regularly make 2 conjunctions, called the SUPERIOR and INFERIOR conjunctions. The SUPERIOR conjunction occurs at the exact middle of Mercury's DIRECT phase, and the INFERIOR conjunction occurs at the exact middle of Mercury's RETROGRADE phase.

During the INFERIOR conjunction, information that is usually readily available may be unavailable, unreliable, or inconclusive, so you may need to fill in the blanks and find new information sources. To find the answers to your questions, it can help to contemplate, meditate, and delve within yourself.

When the SUPERIOR conjunction occurs, information is taken more seriously and the mind is thinking more conservatively. You are more likely to gather information that is socially relevant and you'll want to share the latest, most up-to-date facts and information with friends and networks.

The Astrological Sun
The Sun rules will power and ego. It is the core of your potential and uniqueness as an individual; who you are and what you are about. It represents the main direction and focus you want your life to take, and your determination to accomplish what you set out to do. It is your personal honesty and integrity, and the ability to command respect and authority, to impress and influence others. The Sun is the astrological ruler of Leo.

Astrological Mercury
Mercury indicates mental outlook, intellectual endeavors, the way you think and communicate. It represents ideas, methods, and information. It rules your hands and thus your manual dexterity and mechanical skills. Mercury also describes transportation; that is, how you get where you're going physically and mentally. Do you speed with all possible haste or amble along taking a few detours here and there? Mercury is the astrological ruler of Gemini and Virgo.
