I find Mercury in the 3rd or 8th House interesting.
Mercury in Gemini, Virgo, Libra, Scorpio, Aquarius, or Pisces individuals are interesting.
I don't know all that much about aspects, so. I'll leave that at this.

I love the planet Mercury.. I think it's really important to have good Mercury aspects if you want a relationship to really work. When there is no communication, things tend to break down.

Scorpio Mercury is definitely my favourite! My BFFs!! <3
We have a very strong psychic connection. I never have to explain myself. They just know.. and we are definitely on the same wavelength. I give them one look, across a crowded room and they know how I feel, whether I am happy, sad or ho*ny lol and they always know the right thing to say to me.
I am closest to Librans with Scorpio Merc. One of my closest male friends has this.. and so does my ex who I was with for ages.

I also sometimes like Mercury in Taurus, Cancer, Leo, Sagittarius, Capricorn, Aquarius and Pisces.

I'm mostly neutral about Gemini and Libra.

And - I usually I have problems communicating with Aries & Virgo Mercs!
This makes for some awkward situations with Virgo Mercury.. when we have a mutual friend who has a Scorpio Merc LOL
Because Scorpio can gel with Virgo's analytical side.. but my Pisces Merc is just like - MEH. No thanks Virgo. Just no lol In my mind I'm thinking: "please go away!"
Scorpio gets both Virgo and Pisces- but God only knows they do not get *each other* haha

With Aries Merc - I am almost as neutral as I am about Gemini and Libra.. However because - they can be cutting & nasty towards others, I lean towards dislike rather than neutrality. They don't seem to understand others on a psychological level - or - the impact they have on those around them.
This doesn't apply to every Aries Merc I have met.. but quite a few!

They also seem to think they know.it.all... for whatever interesting reason *shrug*

I don't know how it works for someone whose Mercury is in a different sign from their Sun..
That's tricky.

Maybe you guys need someone whose Mercury is in a compatible sign with your Sun?

Definitely not for me ^

They tend to just ignore and hide.

Otherwise they can be very inconsiderate to the point of rudeness.
Very touchy, easily offended.. passive aggressive.
Quite capricious.

Just, no.

** this is only personal experience, I'm sure there are awesome Cancer Mercuries out there.. somewhere.. lol.

Hanna,

I can hardly stand Leo Mercury since that Merc makes a square to my Scorpio Merc. I like Sag. Merc out of all fire signs for this planet.

Cap Merc is easy for me to deal with since I have Merc-Saturn in my natal. I don't mind Virgo Merc but Taurus Merc can be a little difficult for me due to Scorp stellium.

I appreciate all air sign Mercs since I'm a Libra.

Tightest Midpoint is Moon=Mercury/Pluto
and Mercury=Sun=Jupiter/Pluto.
(why am I still not rich? )

My favourite Mercuries are Sagittarius and Aries; or Mercury aspecting Jupiter or Mars.

I also like Mercury in Aquarius and Libra.

I get along with Mercury in Scorpio and Capricorn (my parent`s Mercuries are there, maybe that is why).

But Mercury in Taurus (for example) just drive me crazy, they are talking SOOOO slowly. I always get the urge to jump up and run around like a battery-fuelled bunny, and I am usually the calmness and patience in person. But something about Mercury in Taurus just triggers a major impatience in me (though I often find they have nice voices, and they are creative in a practical down to earth way and it is not that i don´t like them, jsut they drive me insane).

Well, I don't generally look at Mercury signs all that often, but looking back at my friends/confidants charts, it seems that Earth and Air Mercuries are the people I get along the best with (not super surprising I guess). I have a 10th house Virgo Mercury. Because earth and air Mercuries are more analytical, I think I just find it easier to communicate with them naturally. And honestly, it doesn't really matter WHICH earth or air sign, as it seems that I have close friends of all earth and air Merc persuasions.

I probably get along with fire Mercuries next. We sometimes don't 'get' each other, and because fire Mercuries tend to be horrible with follow through, ie making promises they can't keep, the communication suffers between us. With them though, I tend to just chalk it up to who they are and I just realize that I can't take what they say literally.

Then finally, water Mercuries... They're an odd bunch, because on the one hand, I really 'get' them emotionally (probably because they are naturally good at emotional communication), and some of my closest friends have actually been water signed Mercuries, however, I also tend to feel that they are more ambiguous in the way that they communicate, so it is more difficult for me to understand them (and vice versa) than it would be with some of my other earth/air Merc friends. To me, concrete rules/boundaries just make sense, but they always look at me like I'm an alien for even mentioning it. Meh. I usually get along with water Merc people despite all that.

I love talking with Scorpio Mercuries and I also get along with other Capricorn Mercuries. Pisces Mercuries are cool and I seem to fluctuate with Aquarius Mercuries.

Not too fond of Aries or Leo Mercuries just because I don't have much fire in my chart and don't relate.

I have Mercury in Libra in 3rd, which isn't my sun sign. As 3rd is house of communication, this is meant to boost intelligence, interest in fine arts and give a good command of languages. One could be a good writer/speaker. Mercury rules 11th and 2nd, so a possibility of big gains from writing and fine arts.
( Ah! all this lovely potential)

I aso have Quaoar conj Mercury exact, which supports or reflects the Mercury in 3rd placement. Indidentally, positive aspects between Quaoar and Mercury indicate new ideas communicated effectively - Steve Jobs had it.

No, no Venus-Sun/Mercury-conjunction. Only Sun conjunct Mercury (Venus is 10 degrees off it and in Capricorn).
However my Venus is parallel both Mercury and Sun, and Mercury and Venus are out of bounds.

Where's yours, and what aspects does it make?

What Mercuries do you like best (sign, house, aspects?).

I'll go first:

Mercury in Scorpio - 6th house
Conjunct Sun

My favorites are fellow Scorpio Mercuries, Mercury/Pluto aspects (flowing especially, but hard aspects can be okay, too), and sometimes even Mercury in the 8th does the trick.

I also like Pisces Mercury and sometimes Virgo (other Earth signs are okay, too).

What about you?

Mine's in Leo.

Tons of aspects. conjunct venus,trine neptune,quincunx mars,sq NN and uranus,conjunct saturn,sextile pluto,quintile MC,conjunct sun.

I don't like pisces mercury,I find them confusing and too fickle minded. Cap mercury makes me feel bad because I have the impression they don't want to talk to me.BUT when they do warm up to you you get to have a glimpse of their brilliant mind.I have extreme respect for Mercury in Cap and Mercury in Taurus,although they are really slow in their speech delivery. I particularly dislike mercury in virgo.

I love mercury in leo,in gemini,in cancer,and in Sag.It's fun and exciting to have convos with these placements.Or mercury in aspects with my saturn,uranus,neptune,venus and jupiter.

Wow, you're that strict with orbs, eh?

Can you help me with mine?
Looks like there's only Mercury/Saturn and Venus/Jupiter, right?
