When Mercury is closely conjunct the Sun but more than 17 minutes in separation, it is considered combust. When the Sun/Mercury conjunction is within 17 minutes or less it is Cazimi. This is considered a fortunate placement.
There are
few people with Mercury and the Sun Cazimi but those that do have this in their
chart are noted to have superior intellectual capabilities than normal. Mercury
rules the intellect hence the connection to the intellect and mental abilities.
Some Astrologers have linked this to mental abilities of the highest order.
Sun/Mercury
Cazimi stabilizes the intellect although also making it flexible and easily adaptable
to mental stimuli. Logic is often enhanced for those with Mercury and the Sun
in the earth signs. This in most individuals strengthen the mind and enhance
the capabilities for an informative responses. This does not necessarily mean
that they will respond quickly but rather that they are having many different
ideologies covering the material and forming an eventual solution or idea to
move forward.
Mercury
which is the natural ruler of Gemini and Virgo (although this Astrologer has
some nagging questions if Virgo is ruled by Chiron) will enhance flexibility
and creative potential along with the ability to move from one thought to
another with ease. The sign and house positions will provide more information
and hone in on what potential areas of life are involved and how the mind will
operate.
For those
with a Sun/Mercury Cazimi with their Sun/Mercury in Pisces, Scorpio or the 12th
house or 8th house (or other indicators in the natal chart) this
positioning can indicate illumination, enlightenment and spiritual advancement.
There are other indicators in the natal chart that point in this direction but
since we are discussing Sun/Mercury Cazimi, we thought we would give some
insight to this potential here.
As always,
the whole natal chart would have to be studied in full to get a clear picture
of all possibilities.
