Mercury in a 180 degree angle to Mars is a difficult dissociative, desensitized aspect, reflecting uncommunicated thoughts within the personality.

> edit this In the personality

This aspect makes the person hold more aggressive, potentially incendiary opinions, but less inclined to communicate them in contexts where opposition may be expressed. Accordingly, there is a tendency to associate with persons which hold similar opinions. Sometimes the true nature of the person thinking patterns may reveal indirectly, which may provoke a more "in your face" reply.

There's a tendency for the eye to home-in on negative things. The person may be somewhat critical about things, however it may be accepting of things which others might find questionable.

The sun and the moon should be examined for any permissiveness for these negative thought patterns.

Communication tends to be more passionate and "youthful" under this aspect.
