So what im trying to get at is whether or not Mercury determines how much you are like a sign. ex: if a Capricorn has their mercury in Sagittarius and that is the way they think, then would they really not be much of a Capricorn as opposed to a sun in cap mercury in cap since they do not 'think' like a Capricorn? I know sun determines the sign yu are but wouldnt mercury be a more accurate definition of what sign yu are? ------------------ I became insane, with long intervals of horrible sanity.-Poe IP: Logged |

It's not a 'more accurate definition' imo .. but it's definitely important!Communication means so much. Sometimes good Mercury aspects with someone can rescue an otherwise difficult relationship simply because the people can be open/honest and discuss things. IP: Logged |

hmm ya i think mercury can definitely make ppl get along well even if their sun signs dont. liek i have two separate groups of friends where all their mercuries are in fire signs and thats why they can get along well i think. I mean taurus and sag??? they dont necessarily do great but their mercuries match so they can communicate well ! but i mean more liek if yu think like a cap then wouldnt that make yu a cap? or think like a sadge make yu more a sadge?------------------ I became insane, with long intervals of horrible sanity.-Poe IP: Logged |

Loveless -That's a good way to put the question.. quote: If you think like a cap then wouldnt that make yu a cap?
I can completely differentiate between my philosophy on life/my thinking process/my beliefs -- and who I am. I do think like Pisces 100% -- But I am not a Pisces. Both my Mercury and Jupiter are in Pisces. It's a bit like being an expert on Piscean things and having a love of Piscean things. My favourite books growing up were written by Pisces authors. But this is a detached knowledge/understanding. I can talk Piscean things (Merucry). I can preach Piscean lessons (Jupiter). This comes naturally. But I am not a Pisces myself. It reminds me of the saying: "you can talk the talk... but can you walk the walk?" lol IP: Logged |

I wouldn't say its 'more accurate' but the Capricorn with a Sagittarius Mercury might be more optimistic and expansive of thought than the average Cap Sun/Cap Mercury. Doesn't make you more of that sign though, unless maybe your sun is mercury-ruled...like in the case of Geminis and Virgos. Then the mercury placement would have greater influence over their sun signs. I wonder what that's like...having a mercury different to your sun. I take for granted often that mine are both in the same sign..LOL. IP: Logged |

i like this! mercury is like this in realtion to yur sun sing and i also have my sun/mercury in the same sign. and! although yu can have suitable mercuries i dont think it always helps. its only one piece of the puzzle!

I have Mercury in Taurus, and here are some Taurus traits I have about me.*I love taking my time. I love when I have those mornings where I can just sit for an hour and drink coffe and wake up. But I can hall ass on the mornings I have to be at work early. (I just wont look so put together) *I also really like my stuff. And I don't really like my friends borowing my stuff. Because I like my stuff so much, is one of the main reasons. *And people say that they like to hear my voice. (Well thats really a Merc Taurus thing I think) And this girl told me that she thinks I could be a phone sex person. lol *Oh and I also don't like BS and games in relationships. *And I don't like to rush into a lot of desisions. ------------------ Rising: Gemini Sun: Aries Moon: Scorpio Mercury: Taurus Mars: Aqarius Venus: Pisces N.

hahaha. Mercury is my ruler planet also and I just found this on cafe astrology"Gemini Rising and Mercury in Taurus Your ruling planet Mercury is in the steady and patient sign of Taurus. Your mind is retentive and you are slow to form an opinion but stubborn once your mind is made up. You are meant to bring abstract concepts and ideas down to earth for practical application." yes indeed. lol IP: Logged |

I view astrology different to a PLANET perspective as you do here. I view astrology from a HOUSE perspective.PLANET astrology says that Mercury = Communication, Venus = Partner, Moon = father. HOUSE astrology says that 3rd house = communication, 7th house = partner, 4th house = Father. Each house meaning has areas of life divided into 12 groups. With 1st as personality, and 3rd as communication, there are clear differences and boundaries that show up in a natal chart. Maybe you are Gemini rising, which means you have the personality (MASK) of a Gemini. This is your personality only. With Gemini rising, you would have Leo on the 3rd house of communication, which means you think like a Leo. There are clear boundaries of what house can mean. IP: Logged |

so yur saying if like people have third house sagittarius yet different mercuries in like pisces or aquarius then they will think like sagittarius and not their respective mercuries, no matter what? ------------------ I became insane, with long intervals of horrible sanity.-Poe
