The Aspects Between Planets

☍︎Mercury opposite Venus

Opposition · 180° · balance

The opposition between Mercury and Venus — how these two drives meet in a natal chart.

Your Mercury is your mind, your speech, and how you think; Venus is love, pleasure, and the values by which you relate. In opposition, clear thought and the wish to please can sit across from each other, so honesty and harmony may feel like rivals, and what you know and what you find beautiful do not always agree. You are learning to speak truth kindly, so your words honor both your reason and your heart.
