dentifying with your thoughts. Self-absorbed thought patterns. Fusing together your identity and the way you think. Becoming overly fond of your own ideas. You are what you think. I think therefore I am. I am my thoughts. Thinking and being fused together. Self-identified tricksters. Self-identified nervous wrecks. To exist is to communicate. Communicating is part of who you are. Talkers. To be yourself you must find a way to communicate who you are. The method of communication you choose defines you. You realize yourself by expressing your thoughts. You find out who you are through your ability to express yourself clearly. You have to speak up for yourself. You have to speak up on your own behalf. You must learn to let the world know who you are and what you want.
Exploring communication methods gives you the tools you need to become better aware of who you are. The more clearly you communicate, the better people understand what you are about. Clear communication affects your vitality. Clear communication affects your ability to be creative. Clear communication influences how much you feel like yourself. Frustration comes through poor communication skills. Writing, speaking, teaching and listening are skills that, when developed, encourage personal growth. You identify yourself as a writer, teacher, instructor, blogger, or person who has something important to say. You may give more weight to your words than is warranted. Myopic. Can’t see past the end of your nose. You are so closely identified with your own thoughts that it never occurs to you that you might be wrong. If someone challenges your viewpoint it feels as if they are challenging you. Ego and thoughts wrapped up together. Lack of objectivity. Needing to communicate who you are.

Because there is such a strong link between your mind and who you are, your words match your core self. Impossible to separate how you think from who you are. Curiosity.
Inability to keep your attention focused. Scattered objectives. In addition to communicating through spoken language, communicating through body language in the form of being a dancer, using physical gestures are moving around a lot of possibilities. Comedians who use slapstick or physical gags. Mimics. Impersonators. People who like puzzles, games and solving riddles. Storytellers. Salespeople. Hawkers. Barkers. Carnies. Ad men. Talking heads. News anchors. Taxi drivers. Bus drivers. Chauffeurs. People who like to bike around town. Skateboarders. Gossips.
Sibling relationships have a strong influence over who you are. You identify with your siblings. Dad strongly identified with his own thoughts. Dad was a thinker. Dad likes games. Dad lacks objectivity. Dad had a strong relationship with a sibling. One of your father’s siblings had a strong influence over him. Your father has manual dexterity. Your father works with his hands. Your father shines through his intellect. Dad is a reader.
Sun–Mercury is the mind lit from within—the self speaking itself into being.
Here, thought becomes identity, narration becomes instinct, and every idea carries the warmth
of the one who thinks it. This is the bright, restless fusion of voice and essence,
where communication is not a skill but a lifeline, and the inner narrator never sleeps.

M
ercury’s modern interpretive field carries echoes of the Hermetic tradition—language, symbolism, and the idea of the mind as a messenger between worlds.
Writers, astrologers, and mythographers have long treated Mercury as the planet of narration, translation, and the restless intelligence that shapes identity through thought.
For further study, visit the ASTROFIX Resources page,
or explore classical Hermetic and Mercurial texts through your preferred research sources.
Sun–Mercury blends identity with cognition—the self illuminated through thought, narration, and the need to articulate one’s inner world.
This marginalia traces the mental field behind the fragments: the fusion of being and thinking, the bright pressure of self‑expression, and the solar conditions that shape Mercury’s visibility and voice.

Planetary Context
Sun–Mercury aspects live inside Mercury’s synodic dance with the Sun —
a cycle of combustion, illumination, disappearance, and return.
When Mercury is cazimi, the mind sits in the heart of identity.
When combust, thought is swallowed by light.
When under the beams, the voice moves in shadows.
These conditions tint every Sun–Mercury aspect with timing, tone,
and the quality of light surrounding the mind.
Sun–Mercury is the signature of a life narrated from the inside out—identity shaped by thought,
thought shaped by identity, each illuminating the other. These fragments trace the bright,
restless edge where mind becomes self and self becomes message.
