Mercury square Mars
Natives of Mercury square Mars may have a tendency towards impulsive decision-making or engaging in verbal conflict. They may also exhibit quick thinking or sharp wit but can be prone to impulsivity or lack of forethought. However, this aspect can also bring about positive traits such as assertiveness and confidence in speaking one's truth. Under the influence of Mercury square Mars, you can be quick on the trigger regarding verbal reactions to others, and you are not always courteous, discreet, or tactful when expressing your opinions. You often take things quite personally, and your defensiveness can sometimes make it hard for others to have peaceful or productive conversations with you. However, you’re passionate about your ideas, decisive, and mentally brave. You might often compete for the floor when expressing your ideas, thoughts, and opinions. Stirring up controversy with what you say or how you say it can be frequent, whether you intend to do so or not. Mercury square Mars combination gives an extra emphasis to the martian qualities where the mind is driven to break things apart, constantly separating the wheat from the chaff. The danger here is not knowing when or being able to stop continued divisions, as beyond the point of their true utility the pursuit of purity becomes mere destruction. This may sometimes be a useful trait in solo sports or in a professional critic, but some sense of boundaries or limits will need to be cultivated even here. The key is in allowing Mercury to weave into the mixture just enough impurities that it strengthens the final product. Learning when not to press an advantage is important. With time, you will begin to sense the dead ends in your path before they are reached and always leave a few extra options on the table, as possible detours, before pressing forward again.
Mercury square Mars creates several tests and challenges in your life, mainly stemming from the rapid speed of your thought processes. You rationalize things so quickly that there is not enough time for you to think about whether you are right or not. As a result of this rushed decision-making, you can blurt things out that others may find confronting. They may think you are being overly assertive or argumentative. Such misunderstandings only add to your frustration and temper. Thus this destructive cycle continues and can escalate. Your strong need for independence, lack of inhibition, passionate beliefs, and cynicism can fuel the fire. Your gritty, courageous, and fighting spirit can also exacerbate the problems which your sharp wit and tongue get you into. Other people may end up finding you hostile and unsympathetic to their concerns. Of course, you may be subject to such aggression and hurtful words, and you would be very sensitive. Mercury square Mars makes you unique and sometimes controversial, but you don’t have to deal with the anger and irritation of arguments and hostile relationships.

You will continually be presented with tests and challenges by others so that you gain the knowledge and experience to rationalize and communicate effectively. The key is to slow down your thinking and communication style. Conscious awareness of your rapid thinking is half the battle won. Join a debating team and focus on literacy and numeracy. Start blogging or learn creative writing. Physical exercise and sports, even bodybuilding, may improve self-control, patience, and reaction time. Some astrologers suggest you should avoid sharp objects and dangerous machinery. I believe these are things you should face head-on and master.
