The Role of Transiting Saturn to Mercury in Astrology | Info Self Development

Saturn Conjunct Mercury

This transit period brings with it a tendency towards heavy, serious, and even pessimistic thinking. Interactions with others may be more meaningful, though also more difficult. This can lead to a necessary goodbye and endings. Life is now taken much more seriously than before, but there is a risk of losing perspective. The mental and intellectual viewpoint is narrowed, so a smaller range of ideas will be the focus, but those ideas will be examined more closely. This transit initiates a new cycle of ideas for expressing and communicating in different ways, which requires much mental energy and limits the potential of exploring many topics. Outdated thoughts are removed from life. The mind is highly disciplined, but this can mean a lack of alternative options due to the tendency to concentrate on a single topic. It is essential to be aware of not becoming too fixated on an unattainable perfection when dealing with oneself and others, in order to avoid alienation. This combination of Saturn and Mercury can also cause issues with the nervous system, talking, and hearing; however, this is not the most frequent outcome. This transit is more likely to haunt one’s mind with exaggerated fears and depression due to the tendency to ruminate on serious matters.
