I am curious if others with this placement could describe their thinking.

I find generally, I can't focus on one thing in my head. It's almost chaotic.
Images flash by, my mind is constantly going. I am always looking to find out the other side of the story, why people are motivated to do what they do and I generally have a profound sense for justice and fairness, to the point where I have been accused of being self righteous.

I am the same way. My thinking is all over the place...its quite annoying at times. I've notice lately that I do tend to look at both sides of a situation and people involved. I'm sure it pisses a lot of people off...including my friends...I know they want me to side with them. I also have a hard time getting my point across...I fumble over my words...maybe because mine is retrograde? I have no idea lol

Okay, so I don't know if this is a mercury in Libra thing because this is me down to the very T. I can't see one side of an argument, I see both. I have a hard time articulating my thoughts, so I usually have to write them down unless I want to stumble over my words.

However, my mercury is in virgo; so unless these are traits both signs share, it could be something else that influences this too.

I love my Mercury in Libra, baby.
Why else would I think I can screenwrite without any formal education?


Mercury in Libra gives a flair for knowing what to say, the savoir faire to say it gracefully, and an easygoing air of assurance that one's words will be well received. This individual will attend to the fine points of a literary or artistic production because they can see how each detail enhances the whole picture.

They think in terms of balancing related groups of elements so that one compliments the rest. Their mind is less concerned with particulars than with the overall patterns which endow individual forms with value and significance.

Mercury, an airy planet, blends agreeably with airy Libra. The charm bestowed by Libra??s ruler Venus, lends a soft glow to Mercury??s somewhat stark intellectuality, while exalted Saturn adds the weight of authority. As a result, head and heart cooperate in assessing the worth of things. A person with Mercury in Libra would be likely to agree with the poet Keats who wrote:


Beauty is truth, truth beauty, - that is all
Ye know on earth and all ye need to know.

-Keats


The Sun and Mercury conjoined in Libra encourage artistic accomplishment. A contemplative intellect modified by balanced judgment gives polished expression to abstract ideas. Music, writing, oratory, and the arts which rely upon the mastery of the traditional laws of form are usually preferred to the more unstructured modes of self-expression.

The main problem encountered by the Mercurial-Libran is indecisiveness. They have a proclivity to depend upon accredited opinions and then be torn between disputing factions, each one claiming to have an option on the truth. Vacillation may stem from the desire to consider all possible alternatives impartially as their divided mind is torn between the conflicting testimonies of so-called authorities.

This is a fortuitous combination for professions which require the ability to function cooperatively. It can make for a polished and persuasive speaker with considerable organizational ability but not much liking for physical work. The mind is facile and flexible, but the manner in which it is employed depends largely on the people with whom one chooses to associate.

Sun in Virgo / Mercury in Libra

Hastiness, a sense of urgency, and to a certain extent nervous tension, are all eased here, and the ability to unwind is also present. The attitude to life and its problems will be quite calm, with less Virgoan worry, although sometimes the powerful critical acumen of Virgo will cause undue carping or even nagging at loved ones. But there will be a sense of fairness, and partners should learn to appeal to it. Indecisiveness must be recognized and countered.
----------------------

I dont suffer from indecisiveness not at all. Ask me something and im like BAM...yes or no.

------------------------------------------

Mercury in Libra has the skill for thinking in symmetry and are good at bridging ideas. The person may be good at the administrations side of beauty, or understanding mathematics, architecture or learning music. This placement can be a useful one for a counsellor, lawyer, and mediator, and they are capable of working with both sides in a dispute to help them to reach an agreement. Mercury in Libra is also useful for those involved in public relations, diplomatic fields and any area of life where a sound judgment needs to be made.

The person hates unpleasant discussions, and they dislike arguments between people. However, they do have the ability to hear all sides of the story before passing a judgment. Disputes tend to upset their equilibrium, even if they do manage to find a good solution for all. Mercury in Libra is a strategic thinker, and they have an elegant and effective use of language. Even if Mercury in Libra is criticising a person it never sounds insulting and they always look at all sides.

hmmm...you Mercury in Libra folks are not as "harsh" in communicating than we Mercury in Virgo folks do.



Right, the lack of harshness is what makes us so diplomatic and illmatic



I knew a Libra with Mercury in Libra and he was the opposite of diplomatic, I tell you.
To be honest that placement can be a little passive aggressive. I still love you guys though. So sweet. 😉
