Mercury moves swiftly around the Zodiac, Venus has a slightly slower pace. However, the cycle of both these planets is such that they do meet and greet once in a while! Scroll down to read more about the character implications of the combination.

What is a conjunction?

To have planets conjunct means they are typically within a few degrees in the birth chart.

Each astrologer will have an instinct or rule as to what they consider a conjunction. Some planets can be as far as 8 or 9 degrees apart but still be considered together. However, an exact conjunction is noteworthy!

In astrology, when two planets are in conjunction, they are in the same sign and at the same degree or very close degrees. This is considered significant as the planets’ energies are thought to combine and work together. When Mercury is conjunct Venus, the conjunction is often interpreted as follows:

Here are some themes to consider…

Communication (Mercury) & Love (Venus) Combined…

Mercury is the planetary go-between, messenger and delivers news. It governs intellect, thought and reasoning. Meanwhile, Venus is traditionally the goddess of love, beauty, art, aesthetics and our values.

When these two planets are come together, we might sense the mind and heart are intertwined.

 

This could also be described as a charming (Venus) voice (Mercury). A person with this aspect might be tapped into fashion, able to articulate what’s tasteful. They may have a talent for talking about what’s beautiful or a worthwhile investment. 

They might appreciate people who are intellectuals, or be attracted to those that are good communicators. Intellectual (Mercury) courtship (Venus), good conversation, wit and flirtatious interactions may be their strong suit! There may be a poetic eloquence, or lyrical quality to their voice.

As you can see from this list of actors, writers and singers above, this combination also brings a talent for speaking, writing and using the vocal chords. 

People with Mercury-Venus could also be conflict avoidant, wanting harmony in their interactions. There may be a little superficiality around their chatter! Or, they may be incredibly diplomatic in their demeanour.  Sales and marketing could be a great occupation, however a draw toward the arts and creative fields could be strong too.

Of course, the rest of the birth chart will influence a persons characteristics.
