After watching those, I can see how at least parts of this would apply, especially the directness, candor, innocent charm, fun and sometimes crude talk:

quote:

---

Mercury in Aries communicators make quick decisions--so quick that you might think they don't much like thinking things over. The truth is, Aries communicators don't have a lot of patience for mulling. Their decisions are often driven by the need for instant gratification.

Mercury in Aries men and women are generally quick and to the point in their communications. They are direct and candid, and some may even think their style is crude at times. At times, they can come across as downright aggressive, but that usually happens when they encounter opposition to their opinions and ideas. It is generally a result of frustration, because Mercury in Aries almost childishly assumes that others will accept their opinions smoothly. There is a sensitivity and defensiveness to Aries, and when Mercury is placed in the sign, natives tend to be quite personally attached to their ideas.

These people have a tendency towards streamlined learning. They prefer not to get bogged down in details, and are adept at dismissing what they feel are irrelevant details.

There's a certain innocent charm to Aries communicators. Many will appreciate this sign's utilitarian approach. You can pretty much count on them being straight with you, even if their Sun Sign is the more indirect Pisces.

This Mercury position favors starting new things. Aries is not attached to outdated ideas, and generally adopts an enthusiastic style. Criticism or negative feedback can be taken personally. Still, they are not afraid of a fight or a challenge, on a mental level. They have a visionary intelligence that is sometimes on the idealistic side.

New projects and ideas are taken on with an unmatched enthusiasm with this position of Mercury. However, because there is no shortage of new ideas in life, Mercury in Aries natives can be quick to dump one mental pursuit, way of thinking, or opinion for something fresher and more exciting.

Mercury in Aries people are often excellent at promoting their new ideas. When they're excited about something, their style of communication can be so motivating and fun, the enthusiasm is downright infectious. Aries is a leader, quick to adopt absolutely new and innovative methods--they get a rise out of leading too!

If the Sun Sign is in Pisces or Taurus, these people can sometimes wonder why others get frustrated with them. The truth is, they may come across as more brusque and impatient than they actually are. Mercury in Aries natives make quick decisions, and they don't always understand it when others hedge issues or stay "on the fence".

Then why post something off-topic in this thread?

I was going to post charts in your thread last week, and put it back on topic, but it was closed. Or was that the week before?

I love Jennifer Garner - I think she's grounded, and mature, but also seems to be a lot of fun. http://www.vanityfair.com/hollywood/2016/02/jennifer-garner-talks-kids-career-ben-aff leck

quote:

One thing is for sure: she refuses to claim responsibility for the midlife-crisis tattoo—the rising phoenix—that takes up her estranged husband’s entire back, as seen in photographs. “You know what we would say in my hometown about that? ‘Bless his heart.’ A phoenix rising from the ashes. Am I the ashes in this scenario?” Garner says with a wink.

“I take umbrage. I refuse to be the ashes.”

I was just re-reading an article I posted earlier, in the eclipse thread by waxlobster, and I was thinking about how rarely I cut contact with someone. I don't erase people from my facebook list, because I disagree with them, or they're going through a hard time. I've kept Trump supporters, even though I loathe the man himself, and don't know what they see in him. I think, for the most part, I'm pretty accepting of others.

I have Mercury in Aries, in the 6th house, conjunct my Ceres, Chiron, and Sun (3-5 degrees away). It's also square Saturn, and trine the MC.

No matter how grouchy I've been lately, I'm usually really concerned with people's feelings. I've started to really lose patience with those who don't care about mine, though. People deliberately trying to agitate me or others - especially if they're already wound up.

I've just watched the Adam Levine video. Never got into Candy Crush, but Bubble Mania owns me.

Victoria Beckham: Can't relate to her, and can't believe she ate from a can, and then used the spoon on the fruit in the pie. Ugh!

I used to have the biggest crush on Robert Downey Jr. I love that he asked people not to bring cell phones to his party. My phone has been broken, and I haven't missed it that much.

Yes, I have trouble keeping quiet, when I'm excited about something. I feel like Charlotte La Bouff, in The Princess and the Frog. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Aqn4C8utJyw

I'm a tad less excitable, but I love her.

Interesting...I have seen that with some Aries Mercury people I know "in real life"...sometimes they don't talk at all. Even when everyone else is talking and it would be normal to talk.

posted March 22, 2016 06:21 PM              

Aries Mercury square Mars, Uranus and Neptune.
Trine Saturn.
Conjunct Venus.

P.S. - I personally have never been accused of speaking like a child, even when I was one.
But, then again: Fassbender is gorgeous!!!!!!!

Wanted to give you some feedback on Mercury Aries but wanted to discuss with you on those that have this but Retrograde.

I dont have mercury in Aries myself. But i do have a close friend of mine that i love but also am frustrated with at the moment. I have not liked her very much lately and have become disapointed. Me and her have a lot of things in common but we are also opposites of extreme on how we go about things....

Her Ascendant is 16 Degrees Gemini in the Decan of Libra in the Duad of Sag. That being her Chart Ruler is Mercury in Aries at 0 degrees Retrograde in the 11th house Conjunct her Moon in Aries in the 11th house which also Squares her NorthNode in the 7th house Quincunx's her Jupiter Retrograde in the 4th house. Sun conjunct moon in aries in the 11th house.

She is an illustrator herself and graduated with an Illustriation degree and teaches Art to children and also does workshops.

Over the past 8 years of our friendship, I have found her to be very INDIRECT with her communications, she is not a typical aries, she is NOT agressive and doesnt really like confrontation herself, she very much wants to be at peace with everyone and i mean EVERYONE......she is a sweet talker is what she is. If she wants something she will give her puppy face and sweet talk as much as she can out of a situation and she has been raised this way by both her mom and dad. She is also very popular and everyone enjoys her company because she is sweet, naive, and wants to please everyone and HATES rejection. She is also very messy is not really organized that much but when she wants to be she is excellent and gets the job done. But for the most part i see her as someone who is passive agressive, a manipulator, and is not really honest and direct with people. In the End, She just doesnt want to hurt anybody and she also has a short attention span and she has admitted this herself that she tends to daydream and is very scattered with her art. She also tends to worry about what others will think of her, she thinks before she speaks she does but she is not quick about it she takes her time she is not anywhere near an aries she is not a verbal agressive type at all she is very PASSIVE and this is something me and her get into conflict because i am quite the opposite. Something that has always irrated me of her.

For Example, she told me "you should've never told him you had feelings for him you didnt even hang out with yet and you told him that that's why you scared him away" i said "i dont care, that is who i am, and if he doesnt appreciate my honesty and willing to confess that to him after us knowing each other for about a year then that's his problem not mine whether or not we didnt hang out alone or we did, it doesnt matter to me, i did what i felt was right and im not regretful for any of it because i dont need him or anyone to approve me" she says "yeah you know what your right, god i'd never have the bravery to confess my feelings to anyone so scary!"....

And sneakiness is something you never have to worry about with an Aries mercury.

Thank you and I see what you mean.

Watching those videos made me happy ~ my Aqua Mercury likes this Mercury a lot.

Again the Pisces "flavoring" is so apparent here.

what do you mean? could you elaborate on that? im curious! well she is a venus and mars in pisces; her mars conjunct her MC in pisces. She's also got sun square neptune/uranus.

but she does also have venus conjunct moon and mercury conjunct moon, so this also tells me that she wins people with charm. I dont know she is a very soft sweet girl, i can never see her insuilt anyone, but she is quite sneaky and she is not always 100% honest with her words because she just wants to win people after knowing her for so long.

She also has her chart ruler Mercury R Trine Chiron R in the 3rd house.

I agree about Fassbender

By spacey I didn't mean "out of it"...hard to describe but it's like they are always listening to their inner voice or imagination.

Kourtney K seems to me like she is mentally buffering whatever the other person says, like sugar coating it before she internalizes it? I get that impression from her slight fixed smile and her pauses.

that makes sense now her chiron trine her mercury says a lot to me....no wonder why she does not like confrontations and is not able to fully be direct with people.

Aries Mercury is usually more direct than how you described her. Pisces Mercury would be indirect, maybe secretive, and mindful of others' feelings. Her Mercury so close to Pisces, it behaves somewhat like a Pisces Mercury, as you described it.

gottcha ! she is also very healing as well with her communications almost like a cancer feel to her possibly it could be her chiron in the 3rd house forming a trine to her mercury.

Is your demeanor anything like hers? Pardon me if that's a crazy question.

I know what you meant by spacey, fellow Pisces Moon, no need to further explain for me.

I'm not into the Kardasian clan, and can't say that I've been connected to any of them, lol, but I have glanced here and there and she- if taking their environment into consideration, seems somewhat grounded in comparison to some.

Not a crazy question at all. Hhhmm, I guess I have to say that I speak more with my eyes- they are fixed always. But I do smirk when I smile. My overall deamenor tends to be "serious". I've actually only been guessed to be a Pisces... Once, while on Travels, by a Cancer... Lol. My friends may see those traits more, although. I don't really miss anything, or try not to, so I do internalize in that sense!

Michelle P. by spacey I meant that she actually gets her point across very well, but it's missed if you are not looking for it or don't care. It's like a whisper. Like her as well.

I work with another Aries who is quiet like me too. She's soft spoken but straight forward and casual. So cool to hear that other MiA don't talk, I do that! Wanna know why? Because as a triple Aries incl. MiA I often don't care about small talk or passing chit chat. Gotta focus! Gotta get my stuff done and I'm more interested in my own thoughts compared to people I have no attachment to!

Great points, especially the last sentence.

Interesting...yeah she's very airy/ethereal in some ways. It's like her Taurus sun is this solid block, and she makes it levitate a bit. Her sun in the 12H, with Mars/Venus in Pisces, and Jupiter and Neptune conjunct her NN in Scorpio: http://www.astrotheme.com/astrology/Michelle_Pfeiffer
