After reading Happy Dragon's extract about the astrologer who gave a task by groups of Mercury signs, I'm curious to know how Lindalanders feel their Mercury sign effects them.

Mine is Taurus. In the above, it quoted Taureans as having to feel the truth of something before they will commit to it. That's very true for me for the most part. But I think the author in question (not Happy Dragon) failed to see how this can apply to concepts as well as facts. We are capable of dealing with abstract thought, although you wouldn't think so from some of the website definitions of Mercury signs.

Is it a bad thing to hestiate to commit to something before you feel sure? I wouldn't say so. Intellectually this approach is also compatible with high levels of study. Making things up won't do in that environment. In the media unchallenged facts seem to get slapped in print more frequently than I like, maybe with a few made things up along the way. They start to be accepted as truth and that doesn't sit well with me nor does sloppy journalism where the basic facts aren't straight.

Moo.

We're not thick. We just take the time to do things right and/or to our satisfaction.

I agree. I like to consider things before I commit to them. Recent example: we watched The Holy Mountain DVD the other night, and while I did have an immediate response - I knew that I would have more to say on it. And by the next day, I had many more thoughts on The Holy Mountain that were not only considered, but insightful. (I studied and taught film for years, and I found that this is usually how I approach the analysis. I talked to my friend about the film today, and he's writing his PhD so he's not exactly dumb - Mercury in Virgo, very much the analyser! - and what I had to say made him stop and consider from an angle he hadn't thought of before).

I Also have a Taurus Mercury (In the 12th). I like to gather up all the facts before I arrive to a conclusion. I also like to keep an open mind as I go along - maybe that's my Venus in Pisces influence....

Mine is in Aquarius. I guess I am quick to embrace ridiculous thoughts more so than others. And when I argue, I generally don't try to change anyone's mind but I am absurdly fixed to my position (at that moment). This drives my bff insane.

Let's say an astrologer ran a conference workshop where he put participants in groups and asked them to write down a list of what they thought it meant to have Mercury in their sign. Very roughly this is what he says happened ~:

Aries ~ finished first.

Taurus ~ needed more time to complete the task. They needed to make sure what they put was as true as possible.

Gemini ~ wrote the longest list.

Cancer ~ finished the list and gave each other a massage.

Leo ~ there was only one and he was put (rather cruelly) with the Aquarians.

Virgo ~ there was a bit of a scrap and someone ended up in tears when her ideas were ripped apart by the others.

Libra ~ got along well but were concerned about completing the task right.

Scorpio ~ he couldn't remember what they put, he might have repressed what they came up with.

Sagittarius ~ finished the list and drifted off into a philosophical discussion about astrology in general.

Capricorn ~ got on O.K but called him over a few times to make sure they were doing the task correctly.

Aquarians ~ some power struggles in this group ~ {no wonder when he pulled the trick of sticking a Leo in the middle}.

Pisces ~ had some difficulty with the task, they thought that their Sun sign made a difference as to how it affected them.

Upon entering this thread, my first thought was, "Well, an Arien's Mercury in Pisces is bound to work and manifest differently than an Aquarian's or a Piscean's..."

Also, certain tasks present themselves as almost overwhelmingly difficult to me. Although I do consider myself bright, I tend to take hours and hours filling out, for example, my tax return or my FAFSA. I tend to complicate tasks that ought to be simple.

There are a couple of Mercury in Geminis amongst my close acquaintances. They are sharp of wit alright, but they do sometimes rush through things.

I visited a garden with one of them ~ he was a bit bored and stood waiting outside moaning about how long Mercury in Leo was taking.

He said: I can absorb information faster than most people, I don't need to take this much time.

I said: she will be able to tell you all about the variety of flowers, just ask her, I bet she will know far more than you.

He said: I wasn't looking at the flowers.

I said: It's an effin' garden, what were you looking at if you weren't looking at the flowers?

Thanks Blue Moon...the results of that experiment are pretty funny. I definitely see myself with the Sag Merc group, sitting around and having a philosophical discussion...one of my favorite pastimes! (As long as everyone behaves themselves and nobody starts getting ornery or taking things personally!)

Although...I can also see myself wanting clarification of the task first! (Cap sun...lol)

Actually, I'm an Aries with Pisces Mercury. My best friend is a Pisces with Pisces Mercury.. and one of our other friends is an Aqua girl with a very late Pisces Mercury.

The mental connection between me and Pisces girl is very strong (but our Mercuries are in aspect). That being said when we are all out - we can easily communicate across a room without any words being exchanged.

We usually agree on a lot of things. We like and dislike the same things and the same people We even have code language!

PS. It might depend on other signs as well. Pisces girl has Venus and Mars in Aries. Aqua girl has her Moon in Aries.

my mercury is in scorpio.
I am suspicious and I analyse everything.
I easily feel and understand the other's feelings or thoughts.These are not bad but the 'sarcasm', it is not good..

I have Mercury in Scorpio,and I agree and relate with everything said.....additionally, my thinking is based on feelings,emotions......so if I am emotionally upset,then my thought processes are disrupted.....so can be hard for me to think straight when I upset.. I communicate very intensely..when I am angry, I can really cuss somebody out..have a penetrating mind,psychological insight, and like to probe things,can be nosy....I like to know what makes people tick. That's one of the reasons that I enjoy Astrology. I can be very skeptical and even cynical....don't like to deal with B.S and I will call people out on it. I am not afraid to let people know what I think....especially when I am fed up. I believe in fighting back. If somebody talks smack to me, I tend to talk smack back. I will dish it out,and so I won't just take it. I can be very sarcastic and say cutting words to people,especially if they are negative towards me.

of course....I already have Sun,Venus in Scorpio too.

Mercury in Scorpio (12th no less)...having Mercury in my 12th house is a little difficult to express myself, I always have a tendency to hold back...usually will watch and observe and can disappear even though I'm in the same room with you. That can be either a Sag or Scorpio thing though.

One thing though, is I have an uncanny ability to just know what someone's motives are. A very psychic, tangible knowing what they are up to or what their next move will be.

Having Venus in Libra (11th) softens any tendencies toward cutting remarks, but when provoked, it isn't pretty. Fiery Sag Sun, Asc and Mars helps with a big push.

As I get older though, am less sarcastic or off-handed with remarks.

Steamy double entendre are my specialty.
