Davison
Mars Opposition Mercury (Davison)
In the Davison chart, Mercury and Mars form an opposition, so the relationship's communication and way of thinking and its drive, energy, and desire sit opposite and must be balanced. The Davison chart is the relationship cast as a real chart for the midpoint in time and space between the two births, so an aspect within it shows how two of the bond's core functions interact: here they are pulled to opposite poles that the relationship has to balance. This is the relationship's own inner wiring, neither a verdict nor a fate. The gift is knowing this dynamic; the work is living it consciously together. At your best the two of you make this contact serve the relationship.
