I don't care for really mundane topics. If I have to talk about that sort of thing, I like to do it with humor and have a conversation that's at least witty (and preferably short, moving on to other stuff).

My thoughts can be easily distracted, although I can focus on a task if need be. It's hard for me to just sit and talk about one thing with anyone and stick to that one topic. I tend to get bored if I have to do that.

I also know what you mean about people getting confused about topics in conversation! I didn't know Mercury in Aquarius would do that, but you said your Mercury is sextile Neptune so that makes sense. What house is Mercury in?

I asked because a) I was already wondering when the last thread on Mercury in Aquarius was. They are VERY sparse around here it seems. and b) it turns out my favorite comedian is a Pisces Sun with Mercury in Aquarius and the line of thinking is scarily similar (at least from his acts. And I know acts are supposed to be relatable but his reasoning and delivery just feels SO like mine!)

For example he has been doing a lot of training and exercise plans for people, sometimes friends but not exclusively, very inidividual schedules which also include a whole lot of other things like nutrition, meditation and I do´t know what.

He totally immerses himself in these things, but does not see any progression in university (he is studying Sports and English), maybe because this system is too authoritative for him, and he doesn`t do well with hierarchies. He sees people as equals, at least noone has more value than someone else, especialy not just because he has a certificate that sais someone is a professor. lol

Unfortunately some authorities notice that he sees through these status symbols and does not get dazzled by them, and if they are not really competent and secure in themselves, he usually will face the long arm of the authorities. lol

He can also be totaly immersed on one topic and talking about it compulsively; something which we have in common, I guess my Mercury in Sagittarius is similiar. Actualy I think our Mercuries might be sextile, and his is in my 3rd house, while mine is in his 9th house.

It gets sometimes a bit difficult for other family members, especially my mom who feels left out, and can´t really understand how we can delve into such unimportant, abstract topics. (her Mercury is in Scorpio, my Dad`s is in Capricron, but I suppose his Aqua-Sun makes it easier to relate to our communication style than my Mum.).

However, at the same time he can also switch from topic to topic in an insane speed.

Oh and beware, we should have a different opinion on something.
The intellectual battle ensuing can be quite entertaining then; both of us can be sporting a little intellectual arrogance then.

Well I was not really aware of it, but his girlfriend mentioned (as he said to me later on) that she thought it was remarkable how I could strip him down, like leaving air out of a balloon, just with a sarcastic remark now and then.

I do not really want that, but sometimes when he starts getting into his monologue, I will get fed up being mere audience and well, apparently I know what to say to make him pay attention to something else than his own talking again.

He can do it as well, though. We are very much equal sparring partners in that respect.

Though my mum sais that he admires me very much to the point he is putting me on a pedestal, thinking he could never be as good or smart or whatever than me.

Which is total crap, if you ask me.
I don´t know anyone who has such an unique, original, creative, independent way of thinking as he does. Unfortunately it is not what gets rewarded in this society. Especially not if you are still at university.

I didn´t mean to evoke the impression that I thought that.

Also in the case of my brother, he might be a sensitive Pisces Sun, but has a triple conjunction of Moon-Jupiter-Uranus in Sagitarius square that sun. Plus Venus and Mars in aries in 1st house (trine the triple conjunction).

That definitely figures in as well.

My sun is squared by my Gemini rising, but as a teacher, I don't think that Gemini and Sagittarius are equal when it comes to adapting to traditional teaching methods.
The difficulties are very different for both signs, and University cannot often afford to design methods on an individual basis.

I agree with what others say about this placement. When she finds something that interests her she can be stuck on it for days or weeks.

Hehehehe wow I feel like I'm reading about myself here! I mentioned above my Mercury is in the 11H… I typically have a LOT of grievances with Mercury in Cancer people. It's a LOT of work for me (ditto that my Mercury is in Aries which actually squares Cancer, but still!)

So you find her really selfish and abrupt conversation-wise. Interesting…

What about other air Mercuries and you?

Aw, we love you back!
When I say psychologically probing, I mean about anything, really. I don't tend to ask people personal questions for the intent of probing their psyche...I usually do that sort of analyzing in my head, haha.

I enjoy talking about why certain "types" of people act the way that they do, or analyze their childhood experiences, their personalities, socioeconomic backgrounds, etc. when I'm talking to other people. In my own head, however, I always analyze people.

Violets explained it really well and I can recognize a lot of it.

I like to listen and I enjoy having a having a deep conversation with someone

As to how I think.. this description I found online very w on point for me:

There are some aspects to my Mercury that come into play; a trine to Pluto is my favorite, and sextile Neptune. So I like to talk about things that are deep or spiritual, or psychologically probing. Unfortunately, my Mercury is also opp my AC, so when I'm nervous I can just talk and talk and talk and...you get the picture.

They communicate depending on the aspects it receive but in general, they are cold and practical when they speak, they say things how they are. They are realist, interested in technology, they are always actualized.

They are not too verbally intelligent like Mercury in Gemini, and not too analytic like Mercury in Virgo.

Ok, whatever!

I really enjoy having Mercury in Aquarius, it's very fun. It also aspects most of my chart, which makes for a very long story, but if I could just summarize my opinion of it standing on its own, I'd say that YES, as one would expect from this placement, I'm totally interested in "weird" topics, I say things for shock value, I can hold my own in most conversations because I can keep up and have a steady stream of lively ideas.

People who are smarter and quicker than me freak me out a bit, but what I do in that situation is quickly revert to STUDENT and just delight in studying someone else's game.

I love logical people. Here's a heart for all you people who know and use good logic:

Often my mind works so fast that my mouth just can't keep up so I often summarise what I'm thinking, especially when I have multiple concepts running at once. I also tend to go off on aside topics but then always back to main ones and often I talk in bullet point style too. Just the reasoning, logical aspect of Mercury in Aquarius. I have to also add that I have Mercury opposed Saturn, square Uranus, conjunct Sun and also Mars in Gemini.
