mercury is like a major issue in my life. I am always trying to overcompensate for the lack of mercury.I attract mercurians too, like bees to honey(also because of a virgo 7th house i think).

I would definitely count Chiron.

Your chart seems like a counterpart to mine in several places.

My results were:

Mercury square Midheaven - 10

Mercury opposite Jupiter - 5
Mercury minor aspect to Moon (Chart ruler) - 2
Mercury minor aspect to Saturn (DC ruler) - 2
Sun in Gemini - 5
Moon in Virgo - 5
Chart Ruler in Virgo - 10
Pluto in Virgo - 3
Venus in Gemini - 3
Saturn in Gemini - 3
Moon in 3rd house - 5
Pluto in 3rd house - 3
Part of Stellium and T-square - 5
Chart Ruler in 3rd house - 5
Jupiter 6th house - 3
DC ruler in Gemini - 2
NN ruler in Gemini - 2
Mercury is Final Co-Dispositor of Chart (Mutual Reception between Cancer Mercury and Virgo Moon [Chart Ruler]) - 2

Score - 85

If I add 2 points for Mercury sextile Psyche and 2 for Psyche in Virgo, it would bring it to 89, but I didn't know if I should count those in the score. They do add a little more Mercury to my nature, though.

Mercury is a major attraction planet for me. It rules my Venus in Gemini, conjuncts my Mars, squares my 8th house ruler, rules my DC ruler (Cap DC with Saturn in Gemini), and my 5th house ruler, Pluto, is at 29° Virgo in my 3rd house. It also forms a 0° Grand Trine with my Eros and Black Moon Lilith.

It completely dominates my T-square of Sun conj. Venus in Gemini, opp. my 6th house Jupiter, square my Moon-Pluto conjunction in Virgo in 3rd house.

Woah! That is very interesting. I don't think I've ever seen another combination in a chart so similar to my own.

You know, I'm not sure about asteroids. I don't know enough about them to be comfortable enough interpreting how they play into my personality and life. I do think though that if someone is comfortable with them and knows how they play into their chart, there's no harm in including them.

I did check my Psyche, though, and it is in Gemini, which is fitting considering my Moon and Mars are also there.

Other asteroids and points:

Vertex - Virgo, in the same degree as my Sun
Ceres - Virgo, conjunct my Mercury & Venus
Vesta - Gemini, conjunct my Moon & Mars
Pallas - 6th house

Not sure about the 3rd house planets
Only Venus didn't could add +3 and didn't bother with the nodes, I could be higher.

Strangely I get along with my mercury ruled cousin Virgo.

My Planets

bonuses
mercury in air sign / singleton 2
mercuryintercepted d 2
chiron in gemini 2
mercury square pluto 8° (astro.com counts it).3

30-39
this intrigues me because I'm never sure if my mercury is a strength or a weakness?

Mercury conjunct, square, trine, or opposite other planets, 5 points each.
-trine mars 5pt.

Mercury in minor aspect to the Sun, Moon, Ascendant, Midheaven, or other planets, 2 points each.
-semisquare MC - 2 pt
-semi-sextile Neptune (does this really count? lol) - 2 pt.

Sun, Moon, or Midheaven in Gemini or Virgo, 5 points each. Ascendant (chart ruler) 10.

BONUS: Mercury in Gemini or Virgo, 10 points.

Other planets in Gemini or Virgo, 3 points each.
-Virgo Mars - 3pt

Sun or Moon in the 3rd house, 5 points each.

Other 3rd house planets, 3 points each.

BONUS: Part of a major configuration like a stellium, T-square, or Grand Trine, 5.
-grand trine 5pt.

Add 2-5 points for each other factor you consider important, such as Mercury aspects to the nodes or having a Node or Part of Fortune in Gemini, Virgo, or the 3rd. Specify:
-do 6th house placements count? if so, Neptune + Uranus - 2 + 2 pt.
-mercury bQ SN - still don't know what it means but i'll give it a point

52! or 47 without other factors. and i almost didn't last the whole test..
