Wow ^ that's high

29

Trine saturn, Mars, neptune
Opp pluto
Semisq venus, inconjunct uranus
Part of a g trine

I'm glad it falls into strong as even though I've no 3rd/gemini/Virgo planets or sun/moon aspects, it feels very active in my chart, being part of a g trine and exact opp to pluto singleton.

Still, having a progressed moon in gemini it makes sense being at the lower end of strong as I've now had a taste of how that energy feels turned up.

incidental: both my parents have sun conjunct Mercury in their charts, my brothers a gemini. I'm the black sheep being the one less interested in maths / sciences but still have a mathematical approach to the humanities so Mercury feels more latent, introverted in me

Good thread idea, StubbornVirgo! I didn't know this test existed.

I don't know why she alots points the 3H planets, but not 6H planets? I'm going to give myself points for both.

---

Mercury opposite ASC = 10 points
Mercury opposite Saturn = 5 points
Mercury square Uranus = 5 points
Mercury trine Pluto = 5 points
Mercury sextile Venus = 2 points
Gemini Mars = 3 points
3H Pluto = 3 points
Part of a t-square = 5 points

Self-assigned points:
Sun in the 6H = 3 points
Mercury in the 6H = 3 points
Mercury is arguably exalted in Aquarius = 3 points
Part of Fortune conjunct Psyche in Gemini = 2 points

Total = 49

I got 90 on this one, and it matches with the Color Horoscope with Mercury being my top 3 and Pullen as well.

Don't forget your South Node, because that is energy you already excel in.

5 (though it would be 11 if chiron counts)

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).

59 adding the north and south node (6th and south node virgo in 12th). Might have missed something and Saturn is sextile Merc with a 4 dgr orb, I count that one. Then it's 61.

Oh I forgot Pluto in Virgo. 64!

90 is insane. How can you still exist?!!!

Asc Virgo
Merc Gemini
MC Gemini
Merc conjunct MC
Merc square Asc
Merc trine Moon
Merc sextile Saturn
Pluto Virgo
South Node Virgo
North node 6 house
Neptune 3rd house

I got about 30.

Temporary ADHD made me give up.

I'm joking, but seriously... I couldn't be bothered by the end. Is this telling?

interesting.. mine is 40, 45 if eris counts as a grand fire trine point.. didn’t realize i’d score so high but it makes sense seeing how my third house is a bit full w 3 planets and NN. I was just realizing yesterday from looking at that moon sign/pic thread, how similar having a 3rd house moon is to having a gemini moon. My mercury is also OOB.

My significant other got an 85 and I got a 65. Yikes haha, you could safely day we are both Mercury dominants. Anyhoo, is any other Mercury dominant really feeling and hating the Mercury retrograde? As a Mercury dom, mercury rxs always mess with me. It's been effecting me really hard this time around though

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

My results were:

Mercury square Midheaven - 10
Mercury conjunct Mars - 5
Mercury square Uranus - 5
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.

I think this is very likely. I don't know about any other Mercury dom but I like to consider myself very intelligent, but this RX is making me question everything in my head.

Think I got 35 or something... I'm extremely mercurian!

I also think the traits describes me very well... I am witty, curious and always a bit restless. I also love to learn, and make some philosophical discussions with my self... I am the perpetual student for sure!

My mercury is in libra too, and I'm a virgo sun

Lol I know, I know.

I think it's safe to say we're a nervous, somewhat neurotic and talkative bunch, though highly intelligent and capable of quick reasoning and problem-solving skills.

It depends on the location of the Mars, but wherever it is, I think it gives a sufficient outlet for at least some of the nervous energy. I solve puzzles, play games, play music, knit, make art and work on various projects to keep myself from driving others insane. It's usually only when I'm in a situation in which I can't move around or do something to keep myself from getting bored, such as in a classroom setting, that the nervous energy comes out.
