Saturn in the 3rd can lead to an intense, although sometimes somber and heavy, mind that is deep and very wise. This one can lead to anxieties about speech and basic academic ability without their being reason for one, which can lead to overcompensation and getting great in these areas.

I noticed Sagittarius with Scorpio mercury , and also Scorpios with Sagittarius mercury.

Water/Air mooners.

planets in 3H.

Mercury aspecting pluto.

Some will say mercury aspecting uranus, well I have this aspect and I do think out of the box but my thoughts are pretty erratic.

sun+mercury in Aqua, I've seen these people they're incredibly creative.

My Aries mercury led me to engineering school

My Sun is in Virgo conjunct South Node.

My iq test gave me a score of 127.

I don't know if i ever stop reading about whatever strikes my curiosity. I'm a pretty sharp cookie but i've never cared for exerting myself for straight A's in school. I've always had some sort of confidence in my abilities given that i was praised from a very early age because i was reading in preschool.

i think for someone with a smart brain, i mean iQ smart, the brain calculates fast and efficiently, then i guess albert einstein could be considered a natal example:

Pisces sun, Sagittarius Moon. plenty mutable energy. the soul (sun) is intellectual, the main body of personality (moon) is a strong mutable placement, sagittarius.

he had venus conjunct mercury, a love/value/interest and appreciation for intelligence, intellect.

for someone to be intelligent, they have to be motivated and interested most the time. (some people it does seem to come natural without trying).

so yeah, personal aspects, especially mars or venus to jupiter or mercury, i would imagine would keep someone actively involved in intellectual persuits or interests/intelligence. mars and venus seem to be the repetitive -know-how-do planets on the daily basis.

how much would those activities satisfy the soul/heart and personality of the person? depends on the moon/sun signs i imagine, and their aspects.

houses are important too i imagine, particularly the 3rd and 9th houses. planets their will bring the native actively involved in these areas.

i'm somewhat intelligent, i am this way because i want to be, im interested in knowledge, i love knowledge. i want to know about a lot of things, and utilise it for wisdom and something productive to help me live smarter, and make success better.

i have a 9th house Moon, and a 3rd House Venus. Mercury rules my 3rd house, my 3rd house rests in virgo. i have mercury in virgo in the 3rd house, mars in virgo.

social intelligence? fixed signs:

Leo/Aquarius/Scorpio/Taurus,
if they have mutable energies alongside, then very much so.

examples:

2Pac shakur (gemini sun, mars aquarius)
tony blair (taurus sun, gemini mars)

associated planets involved as well (pluto/sun/uranus maybe)

i think some cardinal energy is important if such socially intelligent people actually do something productive with their knowledge, like politics or something.

the 2 example above both have a planet in aries (tony has venus, 2pac has moon)

I'm not tooting my own horn because I think I'm just average in the IQ department but in school I repeatedly scored very high.
The Mars/Mercury square is responsible for my ADHD and kids with this are usually very bright, they just can't slow down long enough to give you the steps they took to get to the answer.

and they call ADHD a learning disability...go figure

I totally agree with the Mercury/Uranus aspect especially the conjunction.

In my experience Gem suns are highly intelligent.

As well as Libras I have met!

I, Pisces sun, Jupiter, Mercury, Mars stellium in Aqua in the 3rd opposed, closely to Uranus in Leo in the 9th, squaring my Taurus moon in the 6th...ofcourse forming 3 very tight, fixed t-squares, have been discribed as "highly intelligent." Tho I think not. I barely graduated highschool. Did darn well in nursing school...some years later.

I will say I am not book smart, no not at all, but I pay attention to what is going on around me and apply it to everyday life.

Bfriend is highly Virgo, Virgo sun, Mercury, Venus, Moon and to ME he is way more intelligent than me, tho funny he states he is an idiot compared to me.

Really, with my placements I have a very quick mind that learns and adapts to everything thrown my way.

A lot of Geminis and Scorpios I have met fit the bill.

I read somewhere that Mercury-Jupiter or Moon-Mercury are aspects to consider with intelligence. Also, everyone is focusing on Mercury and while that is an indicator, and astrologer said that you also look at the Moon to determine intelligence. I gotta find the link though.

Heck I got wonderful grades. Nearly perfect SATs. I forgot the vocabulary 5 minutes after the test though. Never touched any of that math/statistics junk again after I finished school. Useless crap. But I still got all As through graduate school. Where does that get me?
