Why is Mercury not happy with Jupiter ?

Mercury and Jupiter will argue a lot in astrology because they are opposites and being at home. Mercury rules the planet of intellect, communication, and logic - quick thought, analysis, detail awareness. Whereas Jupiter is all about wisdom, teaching, higher understanding and the bigger picture; the spiritual part of us or of a planet.

These inconsistencies can stall their momentum. While Mercury is all about particular, Jupiter sort of cruises to the world generally, and therefore, the two collide. On a practical note, Mercury is direct and also the sign of the house. Plus, it remains in touch with some materialism—the day-to-day for money, tracing daylight careers, aspected the Sun. On the other hand, Jupiter searches for grand perception, which implies a justice to a great big picture and spiritual expansion. They have a fundamental difference that has the potential to create conflict between the two.

Also, I should add that planets have friends, enemies, and neutral relations in Vedic Astrology. Mercury and Jupiter are neutral to each other. Nevertheless, their varied personalities can still lead to discord. And this neutrality does not imply they are best partners. When you have Mercury in close connection with Jupiter in a birth chart, their energies can overwhelm each other.

This imbalance can interfere with the proper functioning of both planets. Mercury: Information is only good if you can say it in three words or less, but Jupiter thinks it's smarter the longer it explains its idea. This also causes misunderstandings and miscommunications. Their vastness can sometimes overwhelm the detail-oriented Mercury. This disharmony can affect much in terms of Life. Evidence of this is that in decisions get blurred, or it is hard to see how particular days lead to bigger pictures. It was the battle of the intellectual pursuits and of the philosophical inclinations or maybe the struggle within every human if not existence itself.
