One wants to talk, while the other also wants to talk. You may interrupt each other often because you’re not on the same page of understanding.

Mercury Opposite Mercury Synastry

Have you ever felt like your conversations go in endless circles? You may repeat the same topics but may not gain mutual understanding. No one’s opinions change, so your talks can feel unproductive.
