Sesquiquadrate Mercury – Uranus
(Transit. Mercury → Natal Uranus)
Avesalom Podvodny. Aspects
Tridecile of Mercury: While remaining alone with one’s thoughts, ensure they do not grow dull. This person is vividly interested in manifestations and developmental challenges of life within the Planet’s spheres; they will tend to apply their intellect here or, at the very least, discuss these topics. When worked on, this aspect provides excellent opportunities for rational understanding of life development issues within the Planet’s domains and potential mental agility directed toward solving them. By realizing their intellectual abilities in this way, the individual will experience great satisfaction from the human essence within themselves. This aspect gives a need (and opportunities) for self-expression in the Planet’s sphere through mental activity, and during its development, this self-expression will be both lively and engaging for others. For example, a Mercury-Jupiter tridecile, when developed, may produce an original and direct spiritual leader, with a quick and inventive mind, authoritative precisely to the necessary degree: “…for My burden is light”… at a lower level, the person may consider themselves an exceptional expert (and benefactor) in life expressions of analysis, both in philosophical generalizations and practical application, and overall perceives themselves as life-giving, yet the thought of life itself regarding its achievements in these areas will concern them little. Tridecile of Uranus: Nothingness is by no means identical to non-being. This aspect brings in the Planet’s spheres a shared interest and more than original ideas concerning the process of life development and resolving its specific problems, though overall the person’s attitude toward this life will be interested and benevolent. Their ideas and considerable energy may prove highly constructive if Uranus is to some extent worked on (which implies a creative individual in general, regardless of their specific pursuits), but even in this case, these ideas will require development and materialization in relation to concrete developmental issues within the Planet’s spheres, for which processing its principle will be necessary; otherwise, energy will remain in the form of its high-voltage discharges, like thunder striking the imagination with its power but quickly vanishing without leaving any consequences. This aspect has a certain protective effect, but the person usually does not notice it or attributes it to coincidence; however, Uranian signs, appearing as unusual whims of life in areas ruled by the Planet, can reveal much if one learns to read them, particularly helping to precisely understand, and often even find solutions to, developmental problems within the Planet’s spheres.
