Transit Mercury in Harmony with the 7th House Ruler: Easy Accord

Transit Mercury in harmony with the 7th house ruler lets words flow in relationships and makes finding a shared language with the other person almost effortless. The few days in which Mercury touches the ruler of the 7th house by sextile or trine favour meetings with a spouse, a business partner or a client.

What does a harmonious Mercury aspect add to marriage and partnership?

In a disagreement, a formula that satisfies both sides suddenly comes to mind. A partnership proposal gets written in clear language, and the other party reads it the way it was meant. Couples can talk through practical matters such as a holiday plan, a move or the household budget without tension. A meeting with a mediator, consultant or lawyer may turn out shorter and more productive than expected.

A trine offers a flow that works by itself; conversations fall into place with hardly any effort. A sextile is more like an invitation: making the call, booking the appointment or sending the offer is up to the person, otherwise the opportunity slips quietly by.

A short window for the relationship agenda

Because Mercury moves fast, this support is noticeable for only a day or two around the exact aspect. During a retrograde the same aspect can repeat three times a few weeks apart, and a stalled negotiation moves one step forward each time.

• It is a good moment to put a long-postponed joint decision on the table.
• Written offers, draft contracts and mutual expectations can be clarified.
