Analyzing or breaking something down. Most people don't know that Mars and Mercury in ancient astrology together had cooperative symbolism. They were associated with things like math, science, analysis, analytical reasoning, surgery, and anything that is deconstructive, analytical, and cutting—mentally or intellectually.
This includes scrutinizing something, breaking it down into its parts, studying it, having testing done, and seeing the results. For example, drawing blood and analyzing the results falls under these Mercury-Mars themes.
Mercury and Mars might also indicate an interest in learning, biology, or physiology. They can represent mathematical and analytical reasoning. When combined in an opposition, this might manifest as an intense moment of scrutiny or criticism.
It could also involve breaking something down and pulling it apart in order to understand it better. These are the kinds of themes associated with Mercury and Mars in astrology.
