When your mercury gets you in trouble

How Mercury Influences Cancer Traits and Communication

Mercury governs communication and thinking. In Cancer, it can create conflicts between emotional sensitivity and outward confidence, leading to misunderstandings. This explains why shy Cancer individuals with Leo Mercury might appear egotistical despite their inner insecurity. Recognizing this influence helps in managing communication style and self-awareness.

When you're a cancer and actually shy and insecure af, but your leo mercury makes you look like an egotistical dick.

Anyone else with mercurial problems?

My mercury in scorpio + 6th house virgo

I can be calm and cool usually shy and I keep to myself, until I'm upset than all of those thoughts while I was being "quite and shy" I spit it out like venom. Delivering my harsh, critical and non sugar coated truth.

I'm constantly analyzing, storing information on people for future use.

Just in case.

A Virgo mercury working with a Scorpio moon can be a word winning combo.

For me I can roll with anything mentally, even if I hardly understand it. I just try to make it work as I go with it. The scorpio moon is constantly testing while virgo merc is pointing out the things to test.

I'm decent getting into trouble, great at getting out of it.

Cap Merc is an acquired taste. :/

Haha! What makes you say that?

It's another one of my love it or hate it placements. People don't know how to take me until they get to know me better, but some people find me so off putting they don't bother.

Blunt, bawdy, sarcastic... my oldest says I don't have a sense of humor. That I'm just mean and people think I'm joking. Usually it's the opposite though.

Same. I'm joking most of the time, but most people can't tell. They think I am serious... even when I say some obviously ridiculous shit. The flip side of that is that I have noticed that people also can't tell I'm making fun of them... to their face. People close me to get it and laugh their asses off. I do have to be careful when talking to love interests.. until they get to know me better. I'd have to say I love this placement though. Lots of laughs.

Taurus Mercury, 12th house. I don't say anything until it's too late.

That would be a tough place for mercury. I can imagine you're very quiet in the real world. A lot of daydreaming

Yes I am.

When I was growing up, my parents' favourite line when we met new people was, "She's afraid that if she speaks, gold will fall out from her mouth."

Thanks

Just wish I could control the negative things I write. Sometimes I feel like I take venting too far.

I'm good with my Leo merc.

I can be okay with it. I guess it's more about the audience. Some people can handle it and find it hilarious, some people just think you're a jerk. Win some lose some. *shrugs*

Libra merc = ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Paired with aqua moon =

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Throw in some scorp asc =

ಠ_ಠ

But overall...

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Nah you're alright! Aqua and Libra are a good pairing. Diplomatic leeb with cool aqua. You could probably get yourself out of a few scrapes 🙂

@yasmin Don't let your guard down gurl.

Youre right I shouldnt. However I got tired of my family thinking I have no emotions. I feel like they are then less sensitive to me. It also made me start to wonder if I am really cold even though I dont think so

No people are just way more egoistic, cynical than you even, I get that too the no emotions bull shit tactic. It doesn't work so I just listen and argee with family.

Virgo mercury in the 9th

I like to philosophize and talk about how things should be. I'm great at analyzing things and mentally picking things apart and separating them.

I just hate how in draconic, it's in Pisces. I actually feel it sometimes and it makes me feel like things are blurry
