[the astrology of pedro pascal] - soft mercury aspects (major) | mercury trine north node

hey y’all! in this series we’ll be covering major soft/positive aspects (conjunctions, sextiles, and trines) to pedro’s mercury. he doesn’t have any major hard mercury aspects outside of the square to his moon, or any minor positive aspects, but the minor hard aspects he has will be covered in an upcoming series, as well as the rest of the major and minor aspects to the rest of his planets and asteroids in his chart! i also want to note that when it comes to these aspects, they have to be examined through the lens of the entire chart, as they’re influenced by a myriad of factors within it.

mercury trine north node (within 5.4°)

in this aspect, the planetary body and the lunar nodes are harmonious and their energies are naturally and positively expressed. mercury represents our mental processes, and the faculties of the mind. it governs how we communicate our thoughts and ideas as well as our intellect, and how we think and learn. in vedic astrology, the lunar nodes are representative of reincarnation, past life karma, our desire and destiny, and our soul’s mission. the north node demonstrates where and how one may fight and potentially over-exert themselves to find success in the material world, while the south node shows where and how we may “lose” what we’ve created on our path to spiritual liberation. 

with mercury trine the NN, one’s soul path is directly linked to matters of the mind and communication. these natives may find fulfillment in avenues of teaching and mentorship, or more creative industries such as writing, singing, or any form of performing arts. since youth, they may have had an innate ease in self-expression, even if it wasn’t something that was encouraged by those in their environment. they’re naturally inclined to be open-minded and receptive to the ideas and philosophies they encounter, as this can grant them innovative ways to approach their goals and fulfill their soul’s purpose.

these individuals are typically loved and respected by others, as they’re gifted communicators and connect with those around them easily, they tend to come across as knowledgeable and influential. their creativity seamlessly leads them to advance towards their goals. although, they should be working towards consistently broadening their ideas and opinions, as there’s a default ”ease” that comes along with trines that can lead to passivity in areas of the native’s life and personality. they should also be conscious of how they communicate with others as well, as there is the potential to be too blunt or straightforward at times and turn people away. 

the signs the planet and the nodes are placed in are also significant, like i mentioned in the sun trine NN post, pedro’s NN is in sagittarius while his SN is in gemini, and his mercury is in pisces. for those with these nodal placements, their life’s purpose may be very jupiterian in nature. they have an innate desire to express themselves, and to expand their range of thinking to find a deeper understanding of themselves and others. there could also be an aversion to being wrong or feeling “wronged” by others. with mercury in pisces, there’s a tendency to romanticize the thoughts and ways of communicating. 

this can manifest similarly to pedro’s mercury conjunct jupiter aspect as well, as there may be natural understanding of subjects that seem “illogical” to others such as spirituality or the subconscious mind. with the lunar nodes at play, this aspect will manifest as the native’s passion surrounding these subjects being intrinsically linked to the soul’s mission. in pedro’s case, he may benefit from exploring his own spirituality or the subconscious parts of his psyche, as well as exploring this side of other people. this could result in growth in terms of relationships, both intimate and platonic, as his connection to others may grow stronger and more beneficial for both himself and others.

overall, it would benefit these natives to reflect on how their intellect and connection to others can lead them, and society, towards growth. they enjoy analyzing their own traits and habits, and depending on the rest of their chart, may not have much difficulty in accepting constructive criticism. they may need to find balance between exploring their own innovative, creative ideas, while staying conscious and receptive to the influence of other people’s beliefs.

as always, if anyone has any of the placements or aspects mentioned in this post i’d love to hear how it personally manifests in your own life and how it impacts your personality, or if anyone has anything to add in general feel free to reach out and let me know!

[the astrology of pedro pascal] - soft mercury aspects (major) | mercury conjunct jupiter

hey y’all! in this series we’ll be covering major soft/positive aspects (conjunctions, sextiles, and trines) to pedro’s mercury. he doesn’t have any major hard mercury aspects outside of the square to his moon, or any minor positive aspects, but the minor hard aspects he has will be covered in an upcoming series, as well as the rest of the major and minor aspects to the rest of his planets and asteroids in his chart! i also want to note that when it comes to these aspects, they have to be examined through the lens of the entire chart, as they’re influenced by a myriad of factors within it.

mercury conjunct jupiter (within 6.8°)

in this aspect, the planetary bodies influence one another and their energies are amplified. with conjunctions, the energies can manifest in beneficial or disruptive ways depending on the planets in contact. in this case, we have two benefic (positively influenced) planets working together. mercury represents our mental processes, and the faculties of the mind. it governs how we communicate our thoughts and ideas as well as our intellect, and how we think and learn. jupiter is the traditional ruler of pisces and sagittarius, and is representative of wisdom, expansion, philosophy and theology. it’s also indicative of optimism and good luck, hence why traditional astrologers refer to it as the “great benefic.” 

with mercury conjunct jupiter, there is an insatiable hunger for expansive knowledge and understanding of one’s passions. they learn and absorb information with ease, and tend to be very expressive and enthusiastic about their personal philosophies. they have a tolerance of new ideas and seek to understand various viewpoints. they’re extremely opinionated, and may come off as “pretentious” or “preachy” at times, but at the root, they’re simply dreamers with a dedication to learning and passing on the information they’ve gathered. this can gift someone who otherwise has more challenging aspects in their chart, with a sense of confidence and optimism. 

those with this aspect tend to be drawn towards topics that deal with the advancement of humanity, and may find interest in being professors, preachers or missionaries, philanthropists, or humanitarian workers. they may also find themselves drawn towards the arts, and find success in creative avenues such as writing or performing. they’re eloquent speakers, and typically have a calm temperament that grants them the ability to diffuse rising disagreements between themselves and others. while these natives are open-minded and expansive thinkers, this attribute could work against them, as they could have a tendency to overlook the fine print. they may be overly-optimistic, and assume that details are something that work themselves out in the long run, resulting in them coming up short and potentially over-exaggerating their insight.

they may navigate ideas in an unorganized fashion, jumping from one thing to the next, and attempting to find connections between separate ideas and subjects. this can cause them to lose track of things not only in a cerebral context, but in their day to day lives as well. these natives would benefit from a set routine, as their inclination towards procrastinating may find them scattered and constantly misplacing their belongings. regardless, they have a knack for influencing others to explore ideas and theories beyond their range of thinking, and are typically well-respected by those around them. these natives also benefit from being able to naturally find opportunities before others. they tend to be sociable, warm, outgoing people, and as a result find ease in befriending people from different backgrounds. they find growth through traveling overseas to foreign countries and learning about various walks of life, and may even be attracted to people from other ethnicities or cultures. 

the signs the planets are in are also significant, in pedro’s case, his mercury is in pisces, and his jupiter is in aries. while mercury is considered in detriment in pisces, there’s a reason people with this placement excel as writers and poets. they tend to have a spiritual, romantic way of not only communicating, but thinking, and find ease in exploring what others would write off as immeasurable and illogical. on the flip side, jupiter in aries is an active, go-getting placement. these natives tend to be excitable, and impulsive in risky situations. they may struggle with restlessness, but can find success when they navigate towards their goals with a clear sense of direction.

in the context of this aspect, these natives have an innate understanding of spirituality and matters of the subconscious mind. they may find themselves drawn to occult studies such as astrology or tarot, and enjoy researching and studying psychology. their communication style may seem chaotic and evasive, but sentimental nonetheless. the energy from aries gives them the ignition to act on their desires, but effort is required to maintain their focus and keep them organized and on track. they find personal and spiritual expansion through traveling and hearing the stories of different people from across the world. 

ultimately, these individuals enjoy philosophizing and exploring subjects that resonate with them, as well as subjects that are unfamiliar to them. they’re typically gifted storytellers and writers, and have an entertaining quality about them that draws others in. they enjoy finding meaning in everyday, mundane life, and are typically very uplifting and motivating figures.
