The Drama Continues: Mercury Meets the Sun in the Heart of Fire
He has been walking these halls for weeks now— The Fire Temple of Mars, blazing with intention and instinct. Mercury entered swiftly on March 3rd, bright-eyed, sharp-tongued, eager to strategize and speak his will into being. But fire is no place for idle words.
His messages have met resistance, not just from others, but from within. Something echoed back through the flames: a recognition of outdated thoughts, defensive patterns, reactive logic. By March 14th, Mercury slowed. The trickster turned inward. He stationed retrograde in the very halls he charged into, forced to revisit every corridor of his mind with new awareness.
Today, he enters the innermost chamber.
Here, he does not speak. Here, he does not argue. Here, he meets the Sun.
And in that blinding center—Mercury is burned. But not destroyed. Purified.
The Cazimi: A Moment of Mental Clarity and Renewal
Cazimi is the moment a planet conjoins the heart of the Sun—within 1 degree—and becomes infused with the Sun’s divine light. It is not burned away like in combustion; it is exalted, illuminated, given purpose.
Mercury cazimi in Aries is the mind set aflame. This is the moment where old ideas die and clear insight emerges. It's the purification of thought, the burning off of noise and distraction so that only the truth remains.
This is your mental reset. A new way of thinking. A reclamation of inner authority.

This cazimi burns off:
Mental defensiveness
Impulsive communication
Outdated beliefs about self-expression
Wounds around being misunderstood or unheard
This cazimi initiates:
Directness with clarity
Mental courage
Inspired new thoughts
A bold voice rooted in truth, not reaction
