It depends on my mood and who the person texting or calling me is. I'm waaaaay more into face-to-face communication. I don't like texting. I forget about texts and calls a lot after opening the message but not reading it. So it's opened and I forget to go back and read it. After an hour or so sometimes even a day later I'll get back to the person. People always complain about never getting ahold of me or hearing from me. 😁

Some Spanish. I graduated with Spanish 4 under my belt during high school and planned on majoring in it once I started at the University I was accepted. Time came along and I wasn't sure of what exactly I wanted to do with my life so I didn't go. I plan on starting nursing school this fall and a bilingual nurse would really set me above the others. I do love learning new phrases when I travel. I wouldn't feel uncomfortable if I were talking to someone in a different language and no one else could.

Err, I'm not sure. I'm an outgoing person so I don't find it difficult conversing with anyone. I could talk to a wall if it talked back. I get shy, timid people to talk and feel comfortable around me. I have friends from every sign just about lol. I have no idea of their Mercuries but I'd say it's a mix bunch.

2) I generally dislike talking on the phone. Texting is ok. I'm selective about who I get back to. For example some people talk forever and ask annoying questions. Or they talk really loud, etc etc. There can be a variety of reasons. So yeah, selective. Some I get right back to and a few I may not ever. I may choose to just do it later despite not having anything else going on. It can be them, or my mood, or the topic that I know they are calling to discuss.

3) I know some "bad" slang words in a couple of other languages. Well, some good also I suppose. I would love to learn but I'm far too impatient.
I would speak my own language and don't mind if others speak another language around me.

4) I find Gemini moon (which is what I am) to be easy to talk to. Pisces mercury also. Very intuitive conversations. Otherwise, I've not paid enough attention to know.

5) I love teaching and learning. I can talk technical/mechanical things all day. Cars, etc. Animals is another one. I love to learn, study, and talk about all animals.

He is! Really great speaker as well! He's very good at keeping everyone calm. His Virgo stellium and Libra Asc are the culprits of his doubts. He never thinks he's good enough when he's so much more than enough!

2.
if i'm excited/ happy that day or hour i respond quickly but usually if a person contacts me, i take my time to reply days or weeks. i ignore half my of texts though... i have to be in the right moment for me to respond.. especially if it requires a lot of thought and then i forget about it or remember it too late...

3.
i speak 3 languages fluently and i know a little bit of everything since i travel alot. i took a language course every year and i do buy dictionaries/ translators when i travel. i wouldn't communicate in another language in a group setting bc i think its rude.. but i have done it lols.

4.
i get along with mercury in capricorn, heavily influenced sagittarius, and sun scorpios with ease. usually my best friends all have these placements. gemini ascendant guys are good friends of mine. my boyfriends gemini moon

5.
gaming, traveling, food, recent news, memes, funny stuff/ shows, as long as i am interested i can converse for awhile. i love art history but i love entertainment so not sure what house placement it should be. have several astrologers interpret it as either h4 or h5.

i love talking about my self. my family and friends think I'm so self absorbed and conceited but I honestly have to say I am just really curious. like i say things just to see peoples reactions to me. and usually im quite humourous so people dont really mind. at least not that im aware of it. i'm not drop dead gorgeous but eh :/

1) Mercury in Leo in 4th
Square Mars/Pluto
Quincunx Neptune
Opposite North Node/Mid Heaven
Quintile Asc
Biquintile Uranus
conjunct Ceres

2) I return written messages/text/emails faster than phone calls. I generally don't ignore people unless they have done something to really make me angry. I've had people in the past complain I don't answer my cellphone but generally that's because I am busy doing something else. Gemini moon and all....

3) Yes I can speak four languages including English, I'am always trying to learn more. When I intended on teaching abroad after college learning the language was my main priority. Not really but it would depend on the situation. I have had people in the past try to pull that on me because they assumed I didn't speak or could understand their language it was ok to talk about me and midway through their conversation I addressed them in said language. My motto is you have something to say be upfront about it.

4) I find it easy to talk to Mercury in Scorpio, Cancer, Aries and Gemini to be honest. People with Mercury/Pluto aspects as well.

Gemini mercury in 2nd house conjunct moon, square pluto-uranus in virgo from 5th house, sextile saturn exact, conjunct mars (in cancer wide orb)
2) Do you return phonecalls/emails/texts/messages instantly,. i dont unless it is very important. i do return phone calls and message when i finish what i am doing unless i want to distract myself and use the message as a distraction. do you ever purposefully wait a short while before responding then eventually do or do you have people complain about having sometimes not heard back from you? i sometimes dont answer if i feel invaded, or the person expect me to be available all the time. i claim my right to answer when and if i want. it is a free world. my motto is only communicate when you want to... it is my right. but normally i respond to most people. but i notice that intruders are not my favorite poeple and i shy away of responding messages when there is a question i dont want to answer, sort of privacy invasion. i am very keen about my privacy

3) Can you speak any other languages? i speak 3 languages and learning a 4th now. i have mercury retrograde, so it is sometimes challengign. i have lived the last 10 years abroad dealing with languages... i like to learn languages as i can understand mindsets through it. i am not interested in learning words for casual travel. either i learn a language or i dont learn it. few words to impress the locals is not my thing. i am very plutonian in that sense.. (assuming everyone here speaks english)If you can't - when/if you travel does it interest you to learn a few phrases in advance? If you can - would you communicate in one language with someone else around a group of people who don't understand the language in a small space or would you feel uncomfortable? i prefer not to speak in a language others dont understand out of respect to the others. unless, it is necesary or i need to keep things secret.. then i will use a language that most likely others around dont know.

4) Which Mercury Sign placements (or aspects to any of your planets) do you find conversation the most easy with, free-flowing or liberating with? conversation for me is the easy part. except in foreing languages. i feel shy sometimes about my second languages...

5) What types of things can you talk about non-stop? What subjects/things get you going? Wherever it's something you can talk about endlessly or listen to subjects on endlessly.

i love psychology, sociology, astrology, i love digging, doing research. i need to find evidence for things i said (unless i state that is my guess)

there is no mercury sign placement i particularly dislike, but sometimes sagitarious (when not balanced by some saturn aspecting mercury) tend to be too general and say things without evidence. i dont mean to offend anybody with this placement, but i have met some of them and this ****** me off. although there is broad view of things, sometimes they reach to conclusions without too much thoroughness. that kills me. that is the only feature i have noticed i dislike regarding mercury..

I have Sagittarius Mercury Retrograde in 6th
Opposite Ascendant
sextile MC
(s.sextile Venus
ses.square Jupiter
s.sextile/parallel Saturn
quincunx Moon)

I'll come back and answer the other questions but I'll get the ball rolling by just saying as far as Q.4's concerned, every time I'm fascinated by the thing's someone says or feel really refreshed and inspired in conversation with them and don't know what to expect it always turns out that their Mercury is in Aquarius. I'd go so far and say if everyone's Mercury was in Aquarius the world would be a better place (I know that would mean we could all only ever be one of three sun signs in that case however so.. perhaps not). The people I enjoy communicating with most often seem to have their Mercurys in Aries, Scorpio and Sagittarius (beside my partner who has her's in Virgo)

Looking forward to reading responses

I almost always screen my calls and call back within an hour if it's not important. I think that this is because I like to have a prepared response, especially if it's an important call or work related. I usually text back right away if an urgent response is needed. Often if I get a casual text I'll read it and respond later. It has to be interesting enough of a text conversation for me to go back and forth. I haven't had anyone come up and complain about such things.

3) Can you speak any other languages? (assuming everyone here speaks english)If you can't - when/if you travel does it interest you to learn a few phrases in advance? If you can - would you communicate in one language with someone else around a group of people who don't understand the language in a small space or would you feel uncomfortable?

I don't remember any of the Spanish or little Japanese I learned in the past. But, I wouldn't care if a person and myself were having a conversation in a language no one understood. None of their business. I can say that in experience it is an annoyance if an unknown language is being spoken and your being stared at, like these people are talking about you. That's not cool.

Probably Merc in Scorpio or Gemini. Libra as well, good listeners.

-I do not ever purposely wait a short while before responding unless I need to look something up or check with someone else about something. I do try to return phone calls, emails, and messages as soon as possible but I do not check my phone as often as I should.

3) Can you speak any other languages? (assuming everyone here speaks english)If you can't - when/if you travel does it interest you to learn a few phrases in advance? If you can - would you communicate in one language with someone else around a group of people who don't understand the language in a small space or would you feel uncomfortable?
-Not fluently. I haven't had the opportunity to travel where I needed to learn a new language. but I would try to learn as many useful phrases as possible beforehand.

4) Which Mercury Sign placements (or aspects to any of your planets) do you find conversation the most easy with, free-flowing or liberating with?
Air Mercury sign placements. Face to face and telephone conversation is normally easy and free-flowing. Written/text communication is not as free-flowing besides business emails.

I respond as soon as possible.

No I have never make people wait on purpose. When I choose not to contact them, I let them know.

3) Can you speak any other languages? (assuming everyone here speaks english)If you can't - when/if you travel does it interest you to learn a few phrases in advance?

I speak Vietnamese, English, some French and Japanese. My parents speak Vietnamese, French and Japanese at home so yeah... But written Japanese is hard for me to learn.

If you can - would you communicate in one language with someone else around a group of people who don't understand the language in a small space or would you feel uncomfortable?

I don't do that, unless there is no other way.

4) Which Mercury Sign placements (or aspects to any of your planets) do you find conversation the most easy with, free-flowing or liberating with?

I don't think I can answer this question well, simply coz I haven't really paid attention to people's mercury signs.

I have great prolonged conversations with my husband,and I really enjoy talking/communicating with him. He has scorp mercury conj MC/pluto, square asc/jupiter, sextile neptune.

1) What sign/house is your Mercury in and what aspects does it make to any other planets if any? (Please note if it's retrograde too)

Aquarius Mercury here in the 12th house. Non-aspected. I feel safe when I hide my secrets & thoughts from others. I love unconventional discussions, opinions, science, bright minds, being social, having many friends and have a thirst for knowledge. I'm a tiny mother Teresa too, if I could help all the people I would. Always interested in humanity. I usually get along great with Sagittarius Mercury and air or fire Mercury generally. Discussion is really important to me and I love people that have to say something.

2) Do you return phonecalls/emails/texts/messages instantly, do you ever purposefully wait a short while before responding then eventually do or do you have people complain about having sometimes not heard back from you? Feel free to go into as much detail as you want about this

I usually respond back, but sometimes it might take minutes or hours to respond cause I wanna analyze kai respond correctly what I'm thinking.

3) Can you speak any other languages? (assuming everyone here speaks english)If you can't - when/if you travel does it interest you to learn a few phrases in advance? If you can - would you communicate in one language with someone else around a group of people who don't understand the language in a small space or would you feel uncomfortable?

I love foreign languages, traveling the world is my dream. Unfortunately, I speak only my native language and English, I wish I had the money and time to learn more. I'm always willing to learn foreign phrases and find ways to communicate with foreign people. Being with a group of tourists is my passion.

Sagittarius Mercury is my favorite, Gemini too.

meh. fluent in english. use to be fluent in a few others but now can just understand what they're saying a speak basically. yes god i want to learn in advance before the trip so i know how to say where's the toilet at least. yes that'll make me feel uncomfortable if i know that we can speak the same language as the rest of the group but if the other person doesn't understand english at all then no choice. more manners than anything.

3) I can speak Italian and a bit of French, English is not my native but I am fluent in it.
I can read German and understand it a bit
If I am in a group where 1 person doesnt understand I would most likely speak English. its not up to me to translate all the time altough I would make an effort to know they are understanding me.
4) I have no idea what you even asked me lol
5) I can talk about music, movies, travel, animals, I am good at listening and giving advice in any subject.
If it interests me I will talk about it, if I dont know anything I will listen and try to learn.

I'm one of the most available people ever, which I've realized is one of my problems (might be the Moon and Neptune's influence). I almost always answer people's phone calls, even when I don't feel like talking, unless it's someone I really don't like, and always respond to texts. In fact, it's to the point where, if I haven't responded (which is usually when someone's pretty wrong with me), people get worried and start calling again. I, sometimes, am a little out of touch with texts in that I can not realize I have a new one until hours later. But, I still reply back. Now, I'm learning that it's okay to just not answer, sometimes. Otherwise, people can kind of suck me dry.

3. Well, I was near-fluent in Spanish in high school. I took it for three years and got A's on all my tests and assignments, without even trying. I was always amazed by that but then realized, when I got into astrology, I learned the language so easily from having such a strong Mercury. I've forgotten a lot of the language, consciously. But, I'm sure, if I picked it up again, I could get back into it. I'd love to learn another language some day soon.

4. Well, I LOVE talking to my fellow Virgo Mercury people. They're smart, good listeners, and usually witty. We usually have the same exact sense of humor. Gemini Mercury is pretty similar. Aries Mercury is cool because I have a lot in common with them because of the Mercury-Mars conjunction.

5. I could talk about movies and actors all day long. Astrology, too, of course. But, I don't specialize too much in one subject. I'm generally very talkative, as long as the subject is interesting.

posted April 04, 2015 09:32 AM            

My Mercury is in Gemini, thus domicile, and in the 8th House, which it also rules. It's sextile Leo Venus, sextile Aries Jupiter and opp. Sag Neptune. It's also conjunct the asteroid FORTUNA (orb 1°52).

2) Do you return phonecalls/emails/texts/messages instantly, do you ever purposefully wait a short while before responding then eventually do or do you have people complain about having sometimes not heard back from you? Feel free to go into as much detail as you want about this.

My natural urge is to always pick up the phone (if at all possible) or to get back asap because if I don't, I might forget about it later (I get rather many messages and can hardly keep up). However, with time I've learned that's not always wise. So, while I still pick up most of the time, and always with some select people, and always get back rather quickly when I've missed a call, I've now decided on a sort of filtering system and in the case of very annoying and/or unimportant callers or of people who habitually take others for granted, steal other people's time or something like that, I tend to either block them, purposefully delay the reply, or don't reply at all. But that's a learned behavior, not my natural instinct. Same with mails. Here it can more easily happen that I unintentionally forget to reply, just because mails get easily drowned in a pile. Here I tend to prioritize business matters over private mails. I always tell people to mail me again if I don't reply within 2 or 3 days because that usually means I either didn't get the mail, or completely forgot about it.

3) Can you speak any other languages? (assuming everyone here speaks english)If you can't - when/if you travel does it interest you to learn a few phrases in advance? If you can - would you communicate in one language with someone else around a group of people who don't understand the language in a small space or would you feel uncomfortable?

I grew up bilingual with two languages from unrelated language groups and am now fluent in altogether four. I can also speak/read two others reasonably well and have at some point or other acquired a basic knowledge in another three (which has however in most cases degraded due to disuse). Learning languages is fun and easy for me and I plan on learning a few more if I get the chance. I also enjoy watching movies and TV shows in their original language, and read books preferably in the language they were originally written in. About using a different language in a group setting – well, that actually happens quite often in my work environment, where we sometimes have situations where there's not even one common language shared by all present. This means it's sometimes unavoidable to exclude some people temporarily until someone can translate/summarize for them. In my bi-national family settings it's also normal that at some larger gatherings such situations can occur. While I do prefer that everyone present is included, and often end up being the one translating back and forth to make it possible, I do however expect people to be reasonable about it and to understand that it's sometimes not possible to understand every word spoken.

4) Which Mercury Sign placements (or aspects to any of your planets) do you find conversation the most easy with, free-flowing or liberating with?

Generally I find communication with other Air Mercuries the easiest, but the flow is also usually very good with Fire Mercs. The Gem Merc communication style is rather quick, and I do have some difficulty communicating efficiently with people who need a lot of time to formulate a sentence, who are repetitive, or who are very unclear in their way of expressing their thoughts. I do try not to interrupt them, finish their sentences for them, or yawn at them etc., but am afraid I've occasionally been guilty of all these bad behaviour types, especially when I was younger. Aries Moon is no help here.

5) What types of things can you talk about non-stop? What subjects/things get you going? Wherever it's something you can talk about endlessly or listen to subjects on endlessly.

2) Do you return phonecalls/emails/texts/messages instantly, do you ever purposefully wait a short while before responding then eventually do or do you have people complain about having sometimes not heard back from you? Feel free to go into as much detail as you want about this.

~I only don't answer my phone if I am genuinely busy, someone from work is calling and I don't want to take a shift, or I left my phone in the other room and didn't hear it go off. I only answer my phone in the car if I am driving in automatic pilot.
I'm terrible with responding to emails.

3) Can you speak any other languages? (assuming everyone here speaks english)If you can't - when/if you travel does it interest you to learn a few phrases in advance? If you can - would you communicate in one language with someone else around a group of people who don't understand the language in a small space or would you feel uncomfortable?

~No, but I do know phrases in other languages. Maybe if I had the kind of life where I traveled to other countries, I would be interested in learning other languages. If I spoke another language sure, I would speak it with that person.

4) Which Mercury Sign placements (or aspects to any of your planets) do you find conversation the most easy with, free-flowing or liberating with?

~I enjoy communicating with Mercury Taurus, Libra, Scorpio, Leo, Pisces.

2)
I don't like talking on the phone, so I prefer writing messages to talking on the phone. When I talk on the phone, my mind starts wandering somewhere and I become distracted and absentminded.I cannot focus on what he or she is talking about. In addition I am not good at expressing what I want to say verbally.

I don't return phonecalls basically. If they are from my family or very close friends, then I return their phonecalls instantly. As for emails and messages, whether I write back or not depends on my mood.
I have never intentionally delayed my reply.

My friends are often worried about me because, according to them, I become suddenly disconnected... no reply from me, no post from me, for a while. Every time this kind of thing happens, they try to contact me so that they can make sure whether I am okay or not.

3) Can you speak any other languages?
Including English, I speak 4 langauges.

4) Which Mercury Sign placements (or aspects to any of your planets) do you find conversation the most easy with, free-flowing or liberating with?
Mercury in Pisces, Cancer and Scorpio.
Of them, Retrograde ones are more comfortable for me.
They understand what I am trying to say perfectly. On the contrary, those with mercury in earth signs especially virgo don't understand what I am trying to say and they often ask me to clarify what I am saying and this really annoys me.

It really depends on the situation but when I feel uncomfortable to talk about something I will usually hold off until I think I can talk "properly" and without trying to offend the other person. I sometimes will ask for second opinion of my wordings to my friend or family if it's an important message.lol. Such libra moment there.

Yes, I am bilingual and I am always interested in learning new languages. I can speak a little bit of French too. I do pick up on languages quick especially in written format.

4) Which Mercury Sign placements (or aspects to any of your planets) do you find conversation the most easy with, free-flowing or liberating with?

Other Libra mercury people were easiest to talk to since we kind of talk the same way.

I can literally talk about anything and everything from recent news to what I did that day, about astrology, about religion, movies, etc.

1) What sign/house is your Mercury in and what aspects does it make to any other planets if any? (Please note if it's retrograde too)

Thanks.

I have Sagittarius Mercury Retrograde in 6th
Opposite Ascendant
sextile MC
(s.sextile Venus
ses.square Jupiter
s.sextile/parallel Saturn
quincunx Moon)

I'll come back and answer the other questions but I'll get the ball rolling by just saying as far as Q.4's concerned, every time I'm fascinated by the thing's someone says or feel really refreshed and inspired in conversation with them and don't know what to expect it always turns out that their Mercury is in Aquarius. I'd go so far and say if everyone's Mercury was in Aquarius the world would be a better place (I know that would mean we could all only ever be one of three sun signs in that case however so.. perhaps not). The people I enjoy communicating with most often seem to have their Mercurys in Aries, Scorpio and Sagittarius (beside my partner who has her's in Virgo)

Looking forward to reading responses

4.) Generally, I have the most free-flowing conversations with Mercury in Capricorn, Taurus, Libra, and Aquarius individuals, but I find conversations with Mercury in Fire signs to be the most enjoyable.

1) Mercury in Aquarius. Opposite Mars, Square pluto, Trine Moon.

2) It honestly depends on the person and the situation. Sometimes I do purposely wait a little while, but I'm trying to stop doing it because I recognise I'm people pleasing. If the message is boring or unexciting, sometimes I'll ignore it for a little while. I really do try to be as consistent as possible though as it's something I really value and I hate the idea of being flighty. I've never been accused of consistently not replying to messages though, I always get there just in time

3) I can't speak any other languages fluently, but I have been known to pick up accents with extreme ease. I feel like I'm the kind of person that would learn a language really quickly through immersion, but I suck at learning in a classroom and that's a fact.

4) TBH I haven't experienced the full range of Mercury signs, but I do tend to have great conversations with Mercury in Libra.
