bears, you are absolutely right, but i was specifically curious about misunderstandings on a communication-mind sense, rather than emotional behaviour sense. that kind of misunderstanding is about who we are, and most certainly a huge factor into why people can't understand eachother. because peoples moons or suns as well misunderstanding eachother will not understand why one mutual thing made them react emotionally the way they did in comparison to ones own reaction to the thing in question.

but as i said, in this case i was curious specifically about the communication part - understanding eachothers communication rather than understanding eachother (if that makes sense).

Sometimes when I speak my emotions are tied but I can also go off half-cocked (Uranus opposing Moon squaring Mercury). When I am composed or when I just sit back and don't speak, things work out better for me. If I finally do speak but after thought, I am also okay. However, caught off guard or if something I read puts me off, then my response (Mercury) is clouded by the square to the Moon (because all aspects will vibrate on some level) and the words just pour out like a bolt of lightening (Uranus).

Mercury in Capricorn should be cool and calculated, especially when it rules the chart of a Virgo rising. Then again, Capricorn is also very abrupt and can come across as cold (my Dad is a Cappy with Mercury in Cap as well).

I have Mercury in Scorpio 28'57

Mercury is on my 5th/6th house cusp which is 00'15'

Fifth House
Mercury in the fifth house produces an intellectual association with this house of creativity and the affairs of children. This position usually shows good writing and speaking ability, and it likewise shows artistic and creative interests. You express yourself in a dramatic and forceful way, enabling you to become an excellent teacher or actor. Games of mental competition attract your interest and mental stimulation is essential to your happiness. This position is associated with stock market analysts and investors. You may have an analytic, critical outlook on romance, and on life.

Sixth House
Mercury residing in the sixth house produces an association with this house of service and health affairs. This position shows an ability to be methodical and efficient in handling work of a mental nature. You're likely to become involved in work requiring specialized mental or physical skills, such as working with computers or electronic devices. Sometimes you are too precise, and you can easily become too much of a worrier. You may be too concerned with duty, health or proper diet. You have a critical nature that can be upset by disorder in your environment.

Pluto Mercury Crescent + 0 ° 48 ' Semisquare 45 ° 48 'You are so perceptive and you dig so deep for answers that you can be your own worst enemy.You are bright and insightful but the very strength and depth of your vision can mislead you.

Venus Mercury Balsamic Semi Sextile 326 ° 56 'You are polite, choosing your words with care and love so as not to offend anyone. Your tactfulness stems from a distaste for disharmony and conflict. You are not always direct and honest as a result of this desire to please, appease, and keep the peace. You are able to understand others and make a great conversationalist. You aim for fairness in your dealings with others. You have a true appreciation for the arts, and strive to achieve balance and harmony in your social relationships, your writing and speech, and your personal environment. You might do business in the areas of art, design, relationships, counseling, or beauty.

South Node Mercury Full - 0 ° 11 ' Triseptile 205 ° 34

Sun Mercury New + 5 ° 04 ' Conjunction 5 ° 04 'Because the ego and the mind are aligned, people with Sun conjunct Mercury possess much mental energy. They are always in a position to think about what they want, and in many ways, this is an interruption of the will. Mercury brings definition to whatever it contacts, and when aligned with the Sun, the natives apply logic and definition to the will--and the will generally works better when it is allowed to "just be" rather than be analyzed. The result is much intelligence and communication ability, and a lot of pride invested in the intellectual capacities.

Moon Mercury Last Quarter + 9 ° 39 ' Square 279 ° 39 'There is a conflict here between the head and the heart. The emotions tell them one thing and the mind tells them something else. The result is a wavering, and a see-saw effect is most evident with the opposition--emotional to the point of irrationality at one moment, and logical the next. How to blend the head and the heart is a constant struggle for these individuals, usually because there is a tendency to resist blending them!

These people love to chat, enjoy story-telling and writing/poetry, and usually possess a sparkling wit! They are animated when they speak, and have a sense of humor that others appreciate simply because it's very imaginative. Some are especially adept at satire. You can usually tell their moods by how much they're talking. When nervous or excitable, they talk up a storm. Moodiness is a characteristic, definitely, and an especially subjective nature makes them prone to hypersensitivity. It usually has to do with the fact that they take in so very much from their environment. This is also one of the reasons why they tend to be indecisive. While Mercury conjunct Moon people tend to be quite consistently rational, the hard aspects of Moon-Mercury generate a swing between irrational and rational thoughts and feelings. This rarely transfers into action, however. It's pretty much something that takes place "upstairs" in the mind, although others are sure to see the struggle from time to time. These people are always interesting, and usually funny. They have a tendency to misrepresent themselves with what they say from time to time, but they're charming, if a little kooky, friends.

Mercury Mars New + 2 ° 25 ' Conjunction 2 ° 25 'You are curious, enthusiastic, and energetic in your communications. You enjoy a good debate and have a competitive nature, particularly when it comes to mental games. You have an enthusiastic, incisive and energetic mind. You are practical and compulsive. You think quickly and draw your inferences from empirical observation. Your life suffers at times by being too "me" oriented. You don't give an opinion as much as assert a point of view. You are a fighter for a cause whether or not there is a fight, or for that matter, a cause. Your mind is on fire so you often express yourself with anger. You have a natural talent for occupations involving change and physical movement.

Mercury Descendant New + 0 ° 08 ' Semisextile 30 ° 08 '

Mercury Uranus New Semi Decile 20 ° 27
'You have an unusually creative mind, and you need outlets for your open-minded approach to life. You tend to be successful in an environment where products or services are being developed or ingenuity is required. You adapt well to new ideas and you are able to identify potential in a new idea while others may overlook it because it does not fit into their preconceived notions. You have an ability to enjoy clever ideas, whether they are new gadgets, or technology, a fresh approach in arts or music, or any other area, without being burdened by your personal responsibilities. While others have excuses, like not having enough available time to learn something new, you avail yourself of the opportunity to experience new things.

Mercury Saturn First Quarter - 0 ° 38 ' Biseptile 102 ° 12 '

Mercury Midheaven First Quarter - 0 ° 26 ' Biseptile 102 ° 24 '

Mercury Chiron Full + 0 ° 28 ' Inconjunct 210 ° 28 'You find it difficult to grasp some concepts having to do with non-ordinary healing methods and unconventional experiences of time and the nature of reality. You may have very expanded perceptions and sense the validity of the mind/body connection as well as the mind�s ability to manipulate time and effect healing, but attempts to clearly understand and communicate these ideas elude you. There is much opportunity to grow in awareness through this effort, but it will require frequent adjustments of your definitions of reality.

Mercury Ascendant Full + 0 ° 08 ' Inconjunct 210 ° 08 '
You may have difficulty communicating with others at times because they (or you!) often misinterpret who you are. You are very practical and sensible, and you are disappointed when others don't give you the credit you deserve. You have a nervous nature, which can lead to a tendency for disorder and confusion around you.

You love to talk and can sometimes talk too much, especially with your close friends and lovers. You'll make a better impression if you thoroughly think through what you want to say before opening your mouth. This way you can avoid contradicting yourself or becoming redundant. You need a partner whose mind is as active as yours, and who doesn't misinterpret your energetic mind for flightiness. -

Mercury Jupiter Full + 2 ° 31 ' Opposition 182 ° 31 '

You love to express your ideas, sharing them with others quite readily. Jumping to conclusions can be a problem in your life. You often overlook details, preferring to discover the "big picture" quickly. Your thinking and studying habits are not always orderly or disciplined, and this can of course result in sloppiness. Especially with the opposition, you might vacillate between logical, precise thinking and an optimistic conclusion-drawing bent of mind, and in the process, it can be challenging for you to truly get to the heart of a subject or to focus for very long. You may confuse others with a critical flaw-finding conversation one moment, and an overly faithful and unrealistic opinion the next.

While your intentions are generally good, you might overestimate what you are capable of, and promise more than you can deliver. Be careful not to develop a reputation for being unreliable, simply because you desire to make others happy with what you say or promise.

You are inclined to exaggerate, often without meaning to, and you might have a hard time putting your ideas into practice. In an attempt to attach greater meaning to your thoughts and ideas, you might frequently overstate or overestimate. You can be extraordinarily funny and interesting.
