Exposure to new philosophies that expand the mind often accompanies these experiences. These rarer conjunctions represent opportunities for new social or cultural experiences that can radically expand your horizons and fuel further explorations for years to come. Sometimes, direct Mercury makes close conjunctions (within a few degrees) to the natal Jupiter, while also conjunct the transiting sun, only at much longer thirteen-year intervals. During normal direct motion (not near a station) transit, Mercury makes quick one-hit conjunctions to natal Jupiter that happen yearly and represent an opportunity for insight into how the particular day-to-day facts inform an emerging theory or experience of cultural diversity, taking it to the next step in its development. There are two different kinds of conjunctions transiting Mercury can make with natal Jupiter. Becoming too far removed from the basic activities of ordinary life can lead to over-inflation, impracticality, and even downfall. Care should be taken not to overly-shelter or protect yourself from the harsher realities of life, as you will have great psychic resilience and flexibility that can find the good in almost any situation. Stories of finding the meaning of life within the humdrum of day-to-day activities will resonate and propel you to seek and find the extraordinary within the commonplace. There is a great inventiveness that can find ways to simplify or expedite menial tasks, which frees up energy for leisure and reverie. If you have this aspect in your natal chart, you can take great joy and find meaning in manipulating the basic facts and stuff of everyday life. This combination contains a natural desire to span the archetypal philosophical divide between the one and the many, the general and what’s particular.
