Between two people
What does Lilith sextile Mercury mean in synastry?
Honest talk without fear. The pair can discuss topics others avoid, and the Mercury person helps the Lilith person put hidden feelings into words. The sextile is lighter than the trine, and it grows when both keep the conversation honest and kind; Lilith's position depends on the calculation method.

- Early on. Talk drifts to subjects both usually avoid, and the Lilith person finds the right words come more easily than usual.

- Years in. The pair become each other's safest confidant on difficult subjects.
Lilith and Mercury at other angles
At any angle: Black Moon Lilith, the point associated with what is suppressed, taboo or fiercely independent, meets the other person's Mercury, how they think, speak and name things. Conversations between the two tend to reach subjects both usually keep quiet — desire, anger, shame, the things said only late at night — and words land with an unusual charge.
