If the partner’s Mercury is strong, they can make you depressed simply by talking to you and even activate your complexes of social inferiority.

For example, he will print your manuscripts, run small errands or collect information on issues that interest you. But it won’t be until you both understand how important his opinion is for you that your Mercury in 10th House synastry partner will be able to start giving you sound spiritual advices that will greatly advance your evolutionary development.
