when i was about 3 years old, my mercury turned retrograde and it was probably why I had a hard time in school years. Learning was a blur to me, especially during primary/elementary years to about senior high school. That's when my mercury sagittarius progressed to scorpio.
My mind was very deep and creative, I could handle abstract concepts that other kids would not care. Although I did alright in tests, I just had think much harder than the other kids and usually finish tests the slowest.
As a kid in elementary the teachers got me checked for ADD, because I wouldn't listen to teacher's instructions. It seriously goes in one ear and comes out the other.
I was a very quiet kid. I'm still definitely an introvert! Always in my head.
For example, I would be reading something, and I couldn't take it in, so I reread it a few times more till my finally mind gets it. Even if it was just a sentence. I could remember it would take me a very long time to read one ******* chapter of a harry potter book.
My mind was not very logical, and I was a bit slower than others especially in literacy, and maths problems and even just conversing with people. My mind became a bit faster during high school. My mind was still a bit sluggish and people called me a stoner.
Because of this retrograde, I think that's why I became very good at understanding philosophical and abstract subjects like metaphysics, astrology and art. This is even more because mercury is in sagittarius where it's not comfortable.
I'm actually wanting to become an artist/graphic designer.

In 2 years my mercury will go direct when im 23. Will I be more social, multi-task better and be more active day-today? It feels like such a chore to do gemini/virgo skills.
Also my asc will progress to gemini when im 26. I think my social life will improve.
