Mercury is a neutral planet and is thus influenced by any planet it touches.
This may be an important year for a male member of the family because the conjunction suggests a male individual such as a brother, brother-in-law, uncle or perhaps a close neighbor friend. What is so important about this male individual?
Look into the ephemeris and note if there is a major transiting planet in favorable or unfavorable aspect to this conjunction. Perhaps the other progressed planets or an eclipse will offer a clue. Favorable aspects may bring marriage for a brother, the birth of a brother or perhaps some kind of recognition that this family male member has deserved.
The afflicting aspects may caution the brother or male family member to exercise care in driving. Accidents, surgery and even death or separation are possible. Concerning the native’s personal interests, this may be the time in which one returns to school, possibly because a job requires additional training. This will be a rather busy time of life in which many duties and details will have to be handled. There will be much in the way of communication, short-distance travel and signing important papers. The mind is constantly going, and sometimes undue worry and concern over insignificant matters keeps the mind from resting.
This is an excellent time with favorable aspects to return to the teaching profession or to begin writing a book or articles. One does not have to be a teacher to transmit knowledge, but perhaps an instructor will have an interesting role.
The influence of a progressed aspect is not a single event but a process that unfolds over time. For the Progressed Sun aspecting a natal planet like Mercury, the period of influence is generally considered to be about two years in total.
The Applying Phase
This is the year leading up to the exact conjunction (when the Progressed Sun is within 1∘ of natal Mercury). This phase is often felt as a building of intensity, a growing awareness of the themes of the aspect. The urge to learn, write, or communicate becomes increasingly prominent.
The Separating Phase
This is the year after the exact conjunction has passed (as the Progressed Sun moves 1∘ away from natal Mercury). During this phase, the themes are being integrated. The lessons learned and the projects initiated during the peak of the aspect are now being consolidated and woven into the fabric of one's life.
The "bull's eye" of the aspect's influence is the year it is exact, with some astrologers suggesting a tight window of four months before and four months after the exact date for the most concrete manifestations.
