I looked at my chart one other time when I was wondering about this and found that my Mercury is in Pisces (6th House), which is it's detriment and fall. A terrible place for communication. My Mercury is also conjunct Saturn in Pisces and Square Pluto in Scorpio in 3rd house, which I've read can also give problems with communication.

However, if I'm typing or writing I don't have this problem nearly as bad. It's only when I talk to people face-to-face. I'm a cashier and trying to have a new conversation with a stranger every few minutes or so gets tiring and by the end of my shift I find myself either nodding to everything or stuttering a bunch.

Does anyone else have problems with certain types of communication? Where is your Mercury at?

I have stuttering problems too and I'm a mercury in gemini. I process **** too fast, (excuse my lingo). I knew of a mercury in Pisces who stutters, but also holds his head down when he talks.. I noticed that since its in the 6th house maybe your thinking about things too much and processing it like a filter. My relative has a mercury in the 6th house and I see this all the time.

And please, I had to quit being a cashier because even though I'm a gemini, I just hate the constant customers complaning energy.
Lawd, im praying these internships come through becuase i will be right back..urggh.

Hi there, my SO has stuttering problems when he was a kid and was bullied for it. It is a childhood wound for him. He is an Aqua ASC, with Uranus conj MC and Mercury (Sag) all within a degree or so. He has that trine his moon in Leo 6H. He also has chiron in the 3rd loosely conjunct IC. He has recovered from stuttering but it was a long road. He writes a lot, and that's what helped him communicate. Writing comes very easy to him, just like you said. He has kept books and books of journals. He has some troubles conveying/putting exactly into words what he truly means and its very easy for people to take him the wrong way. Stress doesn't help either. He said the best was writing, then it's just learning to reflect and have some patience with yourself in finding the correct way to express things. It's hard and frustrating..I can imagine. I don't consider myself a great speech therapist or anything, but I certainly help him put some things into perspective.

I have a pluto, venus and merc stellium in the first house, scorpio but I'm quite a heavy Libra as well.

Your mercury in Pisces probably gets so worn out because you pick up on people vibes so easily. Your feeling people out in a sense. You have 2 signs that are mutable that's operating your mercury..

---

That's interesting, with Mercury in Gemini I'd think you'd have great communication, but on the other hand maybe you have too much Mercury going on, like you said processing way too much too fast and your brain gets ahead of your tongue.

And what you said about processing everything, YES! lol I over-analyze everything that's said to me. Sometimes i'm still processing what someone is saying when I start talking then my brain gets all mixed up. I also have a virgo ascendant and have alot of virgo/6th house energy in my chart so that's probably why i over-analyze. Also consistent with alot of virgo energy is that I get stressed out easily and all these problems talking get worse when I'm stressed.

And on feeling people out, I do this all the time too. Sometimes I don't even notice it but I can easily pick up on how others are feeling. Where I work cashiers are supposed to ask a customers "How are you today?" when they come up to a register, 'good customer service' and such. But some customers don't realize that's it's pretty much just a greeting, and go right ahead telling me all their life problems like I'm a free therapist or something. I don't mind helping people out but when random people just start telling me all their problems when I'm not expecting it, I don't know how to react. Not to mention that they're only there til i'm done ringing up their stuff then they immediately leave and I feel like they just dumped all their problems on me and nothing got resolved. like really? what am i seriously supposed to do for these people?

I forgot to mention that my Mercury is also retrograde, which I'm sure has something to do with it too. I'm actually good at remembering things and writing essays ect. and once I study things I tend to remember them easily when the test comes up, UNLESS I'm stressed out by other stuff in my life. Then I can't remember anything! I think my problem with tests is moreso actually getting my mind to calm down enough so that i CAN study. I also tend to procrastinate til the last minute and don't study til the night before the test, or don't write a paper til the night before it's due. I feel like something about the 'OH MY GOD I NEED TO DO THIS NOW' feeling actually makes me focus more bc I know I don't have any time left to mess around and it HAS to be done or I'll fail so the freaking out is what makes me focus if that makes any sense lol.

Normally, I don't have communication difficulties, but I do stutter when I get very excited. With a million thoughts coursing through my mind, trying to fight each other to get "out" first, it's hard not to stutter lol.

Sometimes when I'm very very excited, I hyperventilate and just can't get any word out at all.

Anywhoo, I'd imagine like the poster above said that it has to do with Mercury afflictions.

The third house and mercury encompass all forms of communication. Not just speech. I write just fine actually but i totally stutter. Just because you personally dont , doesnt mean you can dismiss the whole thing as fact.

I don't consider stuttering stigmatizing either because i have the sense to know that you can still be intelligent and have a speech impediment.

My mercury isn't afflicted either. Your comments are honestly somewhat ignorant and borderline offensive but you probably don't care anyway, you'll just view it with grandeur as you "speaking your truth in the face of resistance"

Steph asked what causes communication difficulties. When I said chiron in the 3rd was false, I made sure to add "for me". I definitely didn't say the stigma is false for everyone.

I personally don't rule Chiron as a mark for problems because I've never had trouble in that area. In another thread, Ami Anne described Chiron as healing and that's how I perceive it in my 3rd. I'm healed through writing.

About Hard Mercury Aspects: I said "I imagine" because I DONT know. How is that ignorant? I was making an educated guess based on the poster's experience and other experiences I've had with people with those placements. But the truth is, I honestly DONT know. I just wanted to offer my experience to Steph because she asked for advice. I feel like that's trying to be helpful, not offensive or ignorant. Is Astrology really so set in stone that Chiron in the 3rd definitely means communication problems? Or even that mercury afflictions means that? Definitely not! It depends on how they play out in our lives and the symbolism and how they relate to the rest of our charts.
