Mercury Opposition Vesta

Your urge to concentrate inwardly and your need to think out loud with others sit opposite each other, and the gap often shows up in conversation. You may draw in single-minded experts or find that people read your absorption as aloofness, since when you are focused you genuinely go away. At its most awkward you swing between disappearing into a private study and over-talking to make contact, never quite landing. The point is not to choose silence or speech. Your concentration and your exchange with others are meant to balance: bring what you have studied alone back into dialogue, and let other minds break the seal on your focus when it has gone too solitary.
