Mercury Traits
The planet Mercury's name came from the Roman messenger of the gods. He is fast, as he wears winged sandals, which help him move around and deliver messages. These traits correlate to Mercury in astrology. Mercury signifies communication and its delivery, like the messenger god. Mercury reveals how you communicate and how you deliver them. Are you a funny storyteller? Do you get all your points straight across in your conversations? When you look at your Mercury, it can show if you deliver your thoughts aggressively or sweetly.

Because these people are aware of what others may think, they always limit the things they say. They find it hard to express their thoughts and emotions.
When communication is limited, the things these people say are always filtered. Mercury conjunct Saturn people always rewind the conversations they had. They would often beat themselves up for saying something they shouldn't or not saying something they should. Similar to the Venus-Saturn aspects, Mercury-Saturn people are doubtful about their communication skills. These people have built-in machinery that limits them from communicating properly.
But despite their poor communication skills, these people are highly intellectual. Mercury conjunct Saturn people are just self-conscious and overthinkers. These people need constant acknowledgment and validation. They might appear to do well despite the lack of compliments. But they crave one.
But enough of the bad. Here's the good thing about these people: they tend to study things not only on the surface. Mercury conjunct Saturn will dive to the deep depths to understand something. This discipline is what makes an intellectual. These people like to study and focus on it. Various topics fascinate them.

These people have an admirable work ethic. They are hard workers, organized, and detail-oriented, and hard workers. Mercury conjunct Saturn people are efficient and ambitious.

Just like the Mercury-Venus aspects, Mercury conjunct Saturn transit induces critical thinking and mind work. When this time comes, there may be an urge to overthink and be worried about everything. People can be prone to depressive episodes, and one might find it hard to get through it.

To survive this time, always fill your head with positive thoughts. Divert your mind to doing something you've always love to do. This event is a great time to take some classes or subjects you are curious to know. This event is a great time to take on paper works and focus on work.
