to be able to tell which sun signs would have compatible mercuries with each other?
based on just the sun?
if so, then which signs would be compatible and incompatible?
There's a one in three chance of guessing. I don't think much emphasis is placed on the mercury simply because it is a communication style rather than the meaning behind words, I would say moon plays a bigger part in verbal communication. That's my opinion.
I'm Taurus mercury and usually have good communication with earth signs, but great banter with fire signs which is my sun. I've found caps to be most difficult in earth and Leo in fire. In water Pisces easiest, with cancer and Scorpio being about equal.click to expand

sag is the hardest to understand for me.
i can even LIKE the sag in question but no matter what they say, how pleasant they say it... i honest to god have no idea what they're talking about. like there's this shroud surrounding everything they're saying.
with other virgos, i get this sense that they NEVER really say anything really. nothing of real substance about themselves. they like to leave crumbs and i always expect this about them. but it's frustrating when you're trying to know them.
i have this easy understanding with scorpio moons but the sun feels different, more volatile. scorpio suns and i can LIKE each other but they make me uncomfortable too. and deeply misunderstood.click to expand

@virgoOPPP what's your mercury sign and I'm guessing like me you are mercury dominant (although mine is split with pluto)?
With regards communication I've found most couples share a similar sense of humour; especially if it is dry or dark as they can be alienating to the uninitiated.

With Scorpio moon all the Scorpio characteristics are introverted, some people can feel them most can't consciously, but like strong cap placements people subconsciously feel like they are in the presence of authority.
Scorpio sun/rising has extroverted characteristics. Even if the sign itself is introverted or secretive. Best example is Scorpio rising Prince, 8th house sun - incredibly sexual and incredible presence, maybe a bit dark.
Virgos don't open up as they are logic driven. Incredibly warm hearted people if they have gotten over the bitchy side. They show love by doing things. You can ask them anything. I find virgo women more open. With men they give me the quiet treatment if I talk about sex or dark things. A lot like libra and pisces they get a lot of abstract ideas they want opinions on e.g. "what was the worst singer of the 90s?" Random?
Sags I like. They are.just playful. Like Aries but with the aggression boiled off. They want to be provocative and test people. Ask them big questions about life, death, philosophy and you will be really surprised by what they say.click to expand

of course i'm mercury dominant and it's virgo. my 2nd dominant is neptune.
i like the sense of humor from the mixture of leo/virgo.
silly, stupid, harmless jokes that seem to come from nowhere and go refreshingly nowhere at all. performance-y, relying more on theatrics than actual substance as if it's a character like the faux narc with the false bravado.
What are you like with Libra? The humour you describe sounds similar.
My brother is virgo sun Leo moon his humour is incredibly mean, but it makes me laugh because it is so brutal.click to expand

yeah the crumbs thing i've noticed on pisces too.
there could be an understanding with aries but their tempers frighten me. and it IMPEDES the supposedly flowing communication to a full stop. the mood ruined.
Think of it as bratty mischievous behaviour like a school child. They are often just trying to get a rise. When met with real aggression female sags I know back down. A man I know who is a sag has a really bad temper, but he isn't a nasty person.click to expand

@alexscaries
what in astrology can tell you about someone's sense of humor?
Jupiter, ASC, sun and moon. Also what planets if any are in third house, the house of communication, possibly 5th as well.
My humour really isn't anything like Aries which I see Eddie Murphy as being the stereotypical Aries humour, knockabout, witty, slightly goofy and a bit sort of arrogant in a nice way. I'm more like Capricorn, Virgo and Scorpio in my style .click to expand

i noticed that most people i get into fights with in insurance are Sags. they are stubborn, they don't listen, they don't want to follow instructions. they want what they want and they want it now. the other fire suns are the same but nobody fights for it more than Sag.
and they really incite my temper more than any other sign probably coz i always have disgust mixed in.
nothing glues in prejudice like disgust.
I have a similar thing with Libras at work I tell them good advice and they do the opposite and fuck it up.
With sags All will do their own thing and don't like orders, but they are much more detached than other fire signs. If you can I would look at their moon.click to expand

Each sun sign has the potential to be accompanied by three different Mercuries, right? And those three Mercuries would be in line, so automatically of three different elements and modalities. I would say the answer, then, is no.

If I am right, a Virgo sun should only be able to have Mercury in Leo, Virgo, or Libra. Gemini suns should only be able to have Mercury in Taurus, Gemini, or Cancer. Mine is in Cancer. Does yours check out?click to expand

i think i have issues w/ fixed mercuries. they dont let you talk. i’ll start to say something & they literally just talk over me until i stop & give them space. aqua merc is the hardest for me. leo would be easiest for me.
water mercs are dumb af... make no sense & always read into everything. i literally can not stand a pisces mercury, on anyone.
i dont have too many ppl in my circle w/ earthy mercuries... my housemate has a virgo merc & he is so condescending.
i get along best w/ gem & aries merc.
other sag mercuries are like a test of who can talk the loudest & longest. i cant stand it. ive seen myself do it & i hate it.click to expand

I'm a water Mercury, Cancer. lol I don't think it makes me dumb, but my emotions do sometimes temporarily override my logical mind. I haven't noticed much of a Mercury pattern with my friends. My best friend has Taurus sun and Mercury.
my experience w/ cancer mercury - passive aggressive af.
cancer is also in my top 3 least fave signs... so, it’s difficult for me in general.click to expand

leo merc can be funny but when mixed in with some water, always seemingly searching for some injury to their ego.
water mercs to me are like sag mercs, completely beyond my understanding. sometimes things don't really mean anything, pointless to read into it. or misinterprets your light tone.
virgo and condescension go together like peanut butter and jelly. people need to get used to that.click to expand

I have an air mercury in an air house Trine Saturn which is in air and in an air house. It’s like one part of how I communicate. I can be very matter-of-fact about things. With my mercury Square Uranus I can be dogmatic in communicating, abrupt, tactless. I also jump to conclusions, often when I’m around someone who is vague.
Are we actually looking at ourselves first and applying what we know about ourselves or looking at astrology and molding ourselves to fit what we read... 🤔
