Let's talk about Mercury.

"Mercury, the messenger of the gods, is the ruler of Gemini and Virgo. Mercury is the messenger in Astrology as it is in Mythology. It is the planet of day-to-day expression and communication. Mercury’s action is to take things apart and put them back together again. It is an opportunistic planet, decidedly unemotional and curious."

https://cafeastrology.com/mercury.html

So where is your Mercury and how does its placing (sign and house) affect how you deal with your day to day communication with others?

Let me start first:

Mercury Taurus:

"Mercury in Taurus is known for being slow in communication, but why? The answer is that it hates controversies, but love friendships, discipline and reverence more than wars. As a result, the carriers tend to practice total quality management in their words. They don’t exactly spend time looking for elegant words in the dictionary. Their top priority is proper order. They believe that there is always a right way to communicate with people. Even in their writing this is usually visible in the form of grammar and paper format. They can even read it several times before sending it the recipient. Beauty and creativity are the second priority."

Mercury in 12th house

"An individual with Mercury in the 12th house have introspective, obsessive and private thoughts, they may often be unable to express. This placement can indicate someone with an extremely sensitive mind, and one that is highly influenced by collective currents. Many astrologers believe this is a weak position for Mercury, stating the person feels weak or inferior in some way when communicating. In many ways, it can make life difficult on a strictly mecurial level. However, with Mercury here the imagination is heightened, mental psychic powers deepened, and the individual finds a new level of expression."

Mercury in Leo

Mercury in Leo men and women are adept at seeing the big picture, sometimes at the cost of ignoring the details.



Mercury in the 6th House

You are a person who thinks of all the details that others often forget. Your mind is almost always turned “on” which can make you a little nervous. You are excellent at sorting things out, organizing, and making lists and associations. With your attention to the details and the mechanics, however, you might miss the bigger point!



Wtf. They are both true actually.

Mercury Cap, 2nd house.



https://www.sunsigns.org/mercury-in-second-house/

"You don’t like to talk about anything unless you’ve done your homework, and with Mercury in the 2nd house you spend a lot of time studying. Mercury in astrology represents knowledge and communication and how we express ourselves. You take great care in saying all the right things. You don’t want any confusion. Because of your practical nature (Taurus is your ruling zodiac sign), you think things through to their natural conclusion and plan accordingly. When you argue or debate about something you know exactly what you want to say and the facts you want to use to support your claim."

https://www.sunsigns.org/mercury-in-capricorn/

"Straight to the point is the preference of Capricorn zodiac sign, leaving Mercury in Capricorn little room for frills or melodrama when they speak. This no-nonsense sun sign is all about practicality and their conversational style reflects that trait. They take their time to analyze every situation to ensure they get things right."

Mercury in Pisces

Mercury in Pisces takes in so much information from the world and their open-mindedness prevents them from taking a stance for too long. They have an unusual aversion to cold facts and hard decisions. Driven more by intuition than facts, these people avoid list-making and the like.

Mercury in the 6th house

You are a person who thinks of all the details that others often forget. Your mind is almost always turned “on” which can make you a little nervous. You are excellent at sorting things out, organizing, and making lists and associations.

I am full of contradictions 😄

Now for the aspects to Mercury

Mercury opposition Moon - conflict between head and heart.

"The result is a wavering, and a see-saw effect is most evident with the opposition–emotional to the point of irrationality at one moment, and logical the next."

Mercury conjunct Jupiter

"You are a natural problem-solver. Your mind is able to quickly assess a problem and come up with a solution. You are a born strategist, adept at understanding a situation and perceiving the most effective resolution. You have an innate ability to guide and lead others through the most difficult challenges of life. You could be very much in demand as a counselor."

Mercury trine or sextile Juno

"You communicate well within relationships and this is the cornerstone of your success in marriage. Agreements, expectations and social roles are openly discussed, making your daily interaction an easy, natural flow. You may be a model for others in this regard."

LOL not sure about marriage since I'm not a big fan of it.

I'm extremely quiet in real life. Not enigmaitc, rather inherently laconic.

Once in a while I need my verbal release and just talk someone's head off. Whoever happens to be in my field of vision. Be it online or irl. I have the tendency to overshare and put myself in a subservient position due to compulsive self deprecation. I'm an open book. style and presentation are more important than content. I genuinely love words and actively work of expanding my vocabulary. Being able to adequately express myself is essential to my well being. Otherwise I get irritable. I hold myself to very high standards in that regard. I love English more than my native language.

I've never had much luck in dxp mafia games. And I didn't realise how beneficial my role would become for townies later in the game.

Right on the cusp between 7th and 8th, Mercury in Pisces:

conjunct Sun;

square Moon;

semisquare Venus / NN;

sextile Mars;

square Jupiter;

sextile Saturn;

square Uranus (loose);

sesquiquadrate Pluto / Lilith;

sextile MC.

In written language, I prefer either very concise sentences or baroque periods, uncongenial I find anything in between. To this, I shall add that some sort of emotional connection (with the subject matter), often, has to be established first, in order for me, to even contemplate discussing it - I tend to be a reluctant speaker otherwise; albeit, fairly garrulous on the reg, I would still consider myself notwithstanding.

People whose structuring of the sentence is odd drive me nuts... and even more so, if their register is aulic yet at the same time extremely colloquial: such contrast, I find captivating and quirky. Besides, I love to think (for the sake of thinking) and re-discover words which have fallen into desuetude. I don’t even care for their meaning: rarity of usage and sound are what tickle my brain – within words themselves, I also find specific combinations of letters, visually, more appealing than others.

Furthermore, I'm fond of observant people whose humour is subtle yet pungent.
