mercury in a fire sign would identify a persons thought with his ego drives, his energy and interest into something, his passion for the subject under consideration.

mercury in water sign i guess would be somewhat of a mess. cause thoughts would depend on emotions, moods and sentiments.

mercury in earth sign would mean a methodical, analytical and pragmatic person (thought wise). not that they wont understand philosophy, but their actions would be based on practical conclusions.

i don't really think house determines the depth of intelligence one is capable of. it's more of which arena they prefer to keep as their intellectual niche.

i.e. mercury in 5th may find their intellectual interests in fine arts, dramatic interpretation, or any other 5th house related activities.

the exception may be gemini mercury who tends to dabble in everything, but the general idea still applies. personally, with gemini merc in the 9th, i've found myself studying everything just for the sake of universality. but i've always found philosophy, cultural studies, and (at one point) publishing to be my chosen arena of expertise. i love english, too, but sometimes you've gotta think about the "behind the scenes" when it comes communications and literature...

somehow i've found myself always studying religion, but i find it to be a bittersweet subject since spirituality relies so much on subjective reasoning. there's nothing wrong with that, i just find it frustrating when you're busy college student and the only way to get an objective handle on the whole subject is to read a whole library of books.

i was also raised catholic, so religious is a sour subject for me i'm not religious at all anymore. i don't even really believe in a concept of "God" per say...

i think the house thing is true, probably right.

but there must be some aspects that make some one intelligent

probably the best thing is well aspected mercury (for varied intelligence in emotion/intellect etc)

i haven't met many people with thought processes like my own, maybe im just a complete nut, i looked at my aspects, and wondered if i am a nut, or have some intelligence or not.

i read a good description of uranus square mercury, which was scarily accurate about my thoughts. which might explain some of my nut mind processes.

my uranus is in capricorn, retrogade house 5 i think.

my mercury is in virgo, and my venus apparently has a wide conj with it, my venus is in libra, both my libra venus and mars virgo are in house III

i'd love for some one to try and interpret that combo, i think the uranus square makes my mind crazy lol

The trine and other harmonious aspects of these two planets of course provides a boosted harmony to thinking and communicating. The square however has more energy. When the planets are able to stop fighting and constructively do something together, they can do it better than a harmonious aspect (that's in general for all squares involving any planets).

Mercury in Virgo or Gemini, possibly Sagittarius (though people say its in detriment, but Sag rules philosophy), and modern astrologers believe Mercury is exalted in Aquarius.

I'm not a beliver in grades as an indication of how smart someone is.

It just more of a matter of how much effort you put into "absorbing" the information at school ie read the book.

My sisters a Mercury in Aqua and she can read and absorb information from books pretty quickly, but can`t come up with other ideas after that.

We got lost while driving once and I said to her were`s your books, brainiac. Let`s see if you can think outside the box.

When we both started college thats when we rally started arguing over diffrent ideas,
unfortunitly we`re both stuburn over who`s right.

But its intresting thought because If I compare myself and my sister we can rally see how each mercury aspect effects us

she always looks at things at a Analytical way while I always look at things at a logical way.

She`s great at writing essays and reports , she got the top essay out of her class of about 500 people, that great analytical skill.

Were as with me I`m more of the type to break something and figure out how it works

Yesterday, I had to finish some hwk with flash action script 3.0,

I know how to code with action script 2.0 but not 3.0. I Was shocked, when Adobe changed it and how it was a lot diffrent then the previous. So I ended up finding code from Action script 3.0 broke it figured out how it works.

Then built my own off of it, follow the logic.

My sister could never do that and I could never do what she does.

I thought any air placments whould make someone slightly brighter ?.
