Davison
Mars Square Mercury (Davison)
In the Davison chart, Mercury and Mars form a A tense aspect between planets about 90 degrees apart that creates friction and a push to act. Squares are challenging but are often what drives real growth., so the relationship's communication and way of thinking and its drive, energy, and desire grate and drive the relationship to grow. 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 a friction the relationship must work through to grow. 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.
