I think it just adds to my whole dreamy/fantasy outlook on life and perhaps adds to my compassionate nature as in I think very deeply about my emotions and the emotions of others

What I noticed is about Pisces Mercury (and this may be Pisces in general) but I sometimes worry about overcomplimenting. I confess. I get this happy silly zeal when I really warm up to someone (I do not warm up to many people though I am seen as polite and even friendly) So I compliment this guy I fear a ridiculous amount, but what is quite pleasant and a little strange is that he is like a dry plant. I water it and it soaks it up. I water some more and it soaks up some more, and the plant seems very happy. My sister says her Pisces Mercury husband is the same. He needs and loves alot of emotional kindness and a ton of compliments. Then we laughed. Does this resonate at all for you? I am really used to much more detached people and it is refreshing. LOL

My next thing is I notice a dreamy forgetful memory thing. Like sometimes I think I am speaking way too fast giddy for this guy (I'm Gem Sun and Gem Merc, Sag Rising), but he said, absolutely not --"I'm just absorbing everything you say." BUT sometimes he repeats questions, answers that I have given before so I wonder if he was even paying attention or if he is the absent minded professor?

This Pisces Mercury thing you've mentioned. I too have Merc in Pisces, Venus, Moon, Sun, N.Node, Chiron and I think Ascendent - anyway

Pisces is a secretive sign, It is in touch with the universe and often considered aloof. As such Mercury here is often, dependant on house position, Now this one is important, dependant on house position, will determine how Mercury is expressed by the individual.

Mine is in the 12th house, therefore hidden subjects, secrets, taboo stuff all swirls around in this one. I personaly do not like talking, especially with strangers, I don't feel comfortable with it. Even if I know exactly what I want to say, the words seem to simply fail to appear at the right time, I get tongue tied or simply end up looking or sounding stupid, which I am not, so to save this, I tend to reserve my comunications for close friends and work colleagues. Due to this, I prefer to write stuff, I find that by writing, I can put the words in the order I feel is suitable and write it and re-write it until it is correct. Now this is the strange bit, I don't always like people reading what I write!! maybe for fear of ridicule, but it's true, it takes a lot of coaxing to get me to show others what I write.

Apparently this is a typical trait of a 12th house Piscean Mercury - so as I said earlier, it really does depend on what house it is in

As for the compliments in trying to get a Piscean to open up - yes, it's a Pisces trait. Not all pisceans are shy, it is more a case of reserve - a lot like to monitor the world and people prior to coming out from under their little rocks to swim with the other fish - it's a little like a self protection thing. So a kind, gentle word or two from someone showing sincerity is always well appreciated and helps build a level of trust, seldom given to just anybody. But don't over do it for Pisces knows when someone is being sincere or not. But like most people, everyone likes compliments

LOGGERHEAD.

So weird what you just said because he always does this thing with me, especially on the phone. He seems like he wants to say something, but he does not know what. Do you know? I always have to hang up first which is unusual for me. And yes, in person, he occasionally has a look on his face like "Why did I say that. That's lame." But I am rarely thinking anything he says is lame. Silly? Yes! Goofy? Yes! But not lame.

That's nice. That explains things even more. He has Aqua Mars and Aqua Venus but the Libra Moon with the Pisces Sun (plus that Cancer Rising) makes him very gentle in approach. For whatever reason (SG saw this in his chart) he is surrounded by Geminis!

My father is a Pisces and extraordinarily good looking. "Doc" is a Pisces but ordinary looking. He has very wet eyes, that can penetrate when they're not busy being dreamy. LOL. His Cancer rising affects the way he looks and walks.

I tend to agree with the forgetfulness bit but am not sure if it is actually forgetfullness due to laziness or more a case of because there is so much stuff buzzing through our heads, all of the time, a lot of stuff is sent to the relevant boxes within our psyche and put aside depending on how important it is at that moment. I tend to do this a lot, even peoples names only seconds after meeting them.
