Not that I've heard many people say aqua mercs are difficult to communicate with, but I rarely hear them mentioned at all when there's a discussion about good/bad communicators.

I have never met an aqua merc I couldn't communicate with well and I have barely any aqua in my chart. I find (the ones I've met) their reasoning skills to be very good and they are also really good at communicating whatever it is they want to communicate.

What did I miss? I'm a cap merc, btw.

It's arguably the best merc to have so I don't see it being underrated. I find to be concise with brevity while still encompassing simultaneous meanings.


Well, it's not underrated by me...and apparently not by you either, but I hardly ever read about them being noticed in this respect elsewhere.

Gemini and virgo, both being ruled by mercury, might have something to say about aqua being number one, but I would personally put them next to virgo, tbh.

If I would have been a gem or virgo merc, my reply would probably have been: "Well, practice makes perfect...😏"

But I'm not, so: πŸ˜„

I am Aqua Merc and I am really shy person. To be honest I do not like to talk. I just live in my imaginary world full of happiness and love.


I would personally not look at Mercury to determine shyness, but that's just me.πŸ™‚

Mercury is also the mind/intellect and the way you sort information; you may not like to talk, but you may still have a brilliant mind.πŸ™‚

I got aqua merc and a lot of people around me tell me I have great communication skills but I don't always feel that way...I just always feel like something was left out and I could've expressed it better.

Perhaps..with more emphasis or something.


Hmm, the answers from aqua mercs seem to have the theme of self criticism. That's a pity; I think you're great!

Self criticism from another aqua merc. Some level of self criticism I think is healthy, but I don't think you deserve that level of it. Imo.

I would look at first house and intercepted planets for shyness.

I agree with the first house. I also think the sun and to some extent venus could be responsible. Merc or venus retro may "make" a person shy and sometimes some Saturn aspects, methinks.

Was thinking: the self critical aqua mercs, could it be that many of them are cap suns? I'm a cap sun and I thought my communicating skills were awful when I was young. I'm still very self critical, but when I was younger, it was to a degree that I sometimes wouldn't speak at all if I wasn't 100% sure the sentence I was going to use was grammatically correct and the intonation, and the...you get the point.

Aqua merc...a legion of overthinkers, over-explainers, worriers, and the emotionally constipated.

Lovable folk but they can be absolutely maddening to communicate with.

*turns down screen brightness so aqua merc gf doesn't see*

How funny. I have a cap merc and I find the SO difficult to talk with on a personal level.

I know a few people with this placement.


When you say " on a personal level" in what way, if I may ask?

Mercury in itself, as I understand it, doesn't handle what a person wants to say unless it's about logical arguments and such. If you feel they are not willing to talk to you about their innermost feelings or facts that are very personal to them, that may be a moon thing or maybe a sun thing, for instance.πŸ™‚

Long time no see. πŸ˜„ This is champranger. πŸ˜„

I like Aqua Merc. I'm generally found of Aqua placements, though some Aqua Moons I can't stand. One of my Cap friends since first year undergrad, had this placement. Very understanding and I think sometimes, he softens his approach. He did sometimes take a second to speak his mind, which is not something unusual for a Taurus Mercury lol. He also disappeared without a word though lol, but that's probably more Cap Sun. πŸ˜› I'd agree that they have good reasoning skills.

And pre - @AfternoonDelights22 , I would have also said I have never known an aqua merc I couldn't communicate with well. πŸ˜› Or maybe they just kept it quiet lol, in which case this does more credit to Nights than anything else. πŸ€”

Hiii! How are you? I actually recognized your pic.πŸ™‚

Yes, it's like that with caps - they just disappear without a word. Damn caps. It's a disease.πŸ˜›

My ex had cap Merc. When we wanted we communicate quite well and it was always calm and constructive.

Overall tho she was very hard to reach and we didn't have the best communication. Too earthy.

I'm not a fan in most cases. I have a close friend with this merc and he is the only one I've come across that I can tolerate.

This is my example of merc aqua -

Me ordering coffee...

Aqua Merc - Can I take your order?

Me - Coffee with cream

Aqua Merc - *doesnt confirm order* hands me a coffee

Me - Thank you. *takes a sip....there is sugar*

Me - I'm sorry, this has sugar

Aqua Merc - what's the problem

Me - this has sugar. I asked for cream.

Aqua merc - it has cream

Me - Yes, but it also has sugar

Aqua merc - you allergic to sugar or something?

Me - No, I just didnt ask for sugar

Aqua merc - well, then be thankful I gave it to you

Me - I dont take sugar in my coffee

Aqua merc - Try it you will like it

Me - I dont like it, please give me what I ordered

Aqua merc - you didnt pay for the sugar, why are you complaining?

Me - *sigh*

They will never admit they are wrong.

They are self righteous.

They impose their beliefs on you.

They are very poor listeners.


We aren’t poor listeners we just don’t care what you think and we know you’re being a stubborn cunt who deserves to have sugar in their coffee

lol I've had similar conversations...unfortunately. Didn't know they were aqua mercs, though.πŸ˜‰

"They will never admit they are wrong" In all fairness, wouldn't that be a sun (ego) thing rather than a merc thing? Not sure.

"They are self righteous." Well, I must admit to having met self righteous aqua mercs. But, wouldn't that too, be a sun (ego) thing? Again, not sure.

"They impose their beliefs on you." Well...yeah. The ones I've met.

"They are very poor listeners." A couple (not all) of the ones I've met have been; it's like they hear only what they want to hear, sometimes, not what is actually said.
