What’s Interesting About Transit Mars Sesquisquare Mercury?
Back in the day, astrologers loved their weird and wonderful ways of describing Mars and Mercury mixing energy, especially when they form an odd angle like the sesquisquare (135 degrees). Here are some old-school takes you don’t see much anymore:
- The “Quarreling Scribe”: Ancient texts sometimes said this aspect could bring out the “argumentative clerk,” making a person prone to using their words sharper than a sword, sometimes just for the sport of it.
- Divided Intellect: Some old Arabic astrologers warned this transit could split thoughts into many directions at once, like a scribe whose ink well spills – lots of ideas, none fully readable.
- Mercury’s Messenger on Speed: In medieval times, it was said this transit made a person jump to conclusions and send “hasty, ill-portioned letters,” meaning they’d say something quickly and regret it later.
- Mechanical Mishaps: Some 17th-century writers noticed people under this transit had more problems with “contrivances” – fancy word for gadgets and machines breaking when you try to rush things.
- Spirit of Debate: There are references to being visited by the “spirit of disputation,” which is an old way of saying a person becomes eager (sometimes too eager) to debate or “set others straight.”
- “Red Wind, Black Word”: Some obscure folklore called this the time of the “red wind” blowing over the “black word” – basically meaning anger (Mars) colors the way things are said (Mercury), making conversations pretty stormy.
- Travel Tangles: Before cars, astrologers said messages and travelers got lost or delayed under this angle – as if Mars was stirring up chaos along Mercury’s paths.
