And I don't mean this strictly in the sense of being "watermouths" per se or talking endlessly about the weather etc. But more those who consider their words carefully and as they talk, they lean on emotional rapport for interaction.

Anybody else share my interest in such people? And what placements do you think are indicative of that in your chart?

I am one of those “expressive” people. I do hate small talk though and will highly likely just ignore the person until they , hopefully, realize I’m not interested. I like to THINK before I speak as I know spoken words can have significant impact and I’m careful not leaving a negative one, unless I intend to do so

I have Cancer Merc 11H sq Pluto 2H and trine Scorpio Uranus 3H.

The Cancer Mercury makes sense. This is similar to my own Moon in 3rd and Moon/Mercury aspect.

This can be me, but only at times. I've been told that I could be a writer. It's usually when I'm in my feelings, and write a book. Then it goes away. I have Moon conjunct Venus in Gemini, square Mars in Pisces. Trine Pluto, sextile Jupiter. Mercury is conjunct Ceres, Chiron, and Sun, and also widely square Saturn.

I find it very attractive in people when they can articulate themselves well. I don't mind so much what someone talks about but when they can sustain a natural flow of speech and speak with their whole body so to say and their eyes sparkle, then I could listen all day long. Wendy Williams is someone I find very entertaining to listen to. She's well spoken, very expressive and has that slightly mischievous look in her eyes when she talks.

Ben Shapiro is also someone interesting for me to listen to. I find it fascinating how fast he is able to talk without stopping mid-sentence or stuttering. Plus he is very quick witted.

I would have loved to hear Oscar Wilde speak. His work is so beautifully written and I'm sure he was a joy to listen to.

I have Mercury in Libra conjunct my Descendant. It makes a loose conjunction with my Sun and a tight sextile to Uranus. I suppose that's why I like talkative people who are not so on the PC side of things.

Moon/Venus in Gemini. That's the drive. Mercury/Ceres nurtures through words. But that Chiron/Mercury also suggests a wound? Perhaps one related to communicating?

I feel you. Oscar Wilde has always seemed more spicey to me. lol.

It is likely that this was necessary given the time he was living in. As well as the "taboo" nature of his sexual orientation within the context of that period.

So his tongue was his best weapon. And this is the trait that Virgo Asc/Gem Asc or those with Mercury in aspect to Asc have at their disposal. The weapon(Asc) of choice is wit/sarcasm(Mercury) not brute force.

The English(Great Britain) are linked to Saturn/Cap (Sun) energy as well as Libra (Asc).So its interesting that Wilde also had Saturn in Gemini on the Mc & Sun in Libra.

I have always seen the English as "nasty" nice. Kinda like Mars in Libra, Asc in Libra, Venus in 1st etc. They are mean but polite about it i.e "Your lights are not completely on upstairs" meaning that "You are stupid"

So this mixes well with Wilde's Asc in Virgo(Venus in the 1st) i.e the "nasty/ nice" thing I spoke of.His Mars/Mer in 3rd is the spice and Saturn in Gemini on the Mc is what he aspires always to be- quick on the uptake and responsive.

I find him very interesting too.

Yep, definitely a wound. I started out as a really outgoing kid. Then I was bullied, dealt with some other things that were scary. I became socially phobic, and then agoraphobic. I still deal with the social anxiety, although it's not as bad as it was (online - in person, I still freeze).

Oh those British people with the nice nasty attitude

I had an English teacher from Ireland who used to be brutal with her words. She had one liners to put the Dowager Countess(Downtown Abbey) to shame.

But you had to be quick to catch the insult(ironically). If you didn't catch it, you would think she's being nice because she would always say it with a smile i.e "you are a jolly world of silliness aren't you?"

I mean how do you answer that? . Its rhetoric angle is more a statement of your presumed insipid nature than a call to engage. lol. Just brutal!

That's interesting. My sister has Chiron/Mars conj in Gemini. I am not sure that it's social anxiety in her case but it does result in increased defensiveness.

Writing is an excellent avenue to release and heal. So perhaps you should write something huh?

I stuggle to complete what started. I am better at talking and presenting(other Mercury avenues).

I like the first type than the second, from the ones you stated, 2nd type can make me yawn a bit(by the time they are 'done' considering ).

Personally I prefer the spontaneous ones, the ones that blurt out random spontaneous crap and make me laugh, my brother is my favorite in this regards, a Sag Mercury( as long ass you don't tell him your secret while also not telling them not to tell it to the rest, you are safe.)

Personally I love my fella Gemini Moons too, even if being with them all the time can be a bit too exhausting.

I'm already a Gemini, but with Mercury in Cancer I think I have a gift for nurturing others with words. Especially in writing.

An English teacher once described my writing style as 'emotional'. Not particularly emo, but emotionally expressive/descriptive.

Nine your writing comes off as Nurturing?! Really?! I would not describe how you come off as nurturing or emotional for that matter at least here at Lindaland. I would love to see that side of you more though, well the nurturing side anyways.

The "off the cuff" ones you speak of are more entertaining when in a crowd. There is a comic relief they offer and can be great at "lighting things up". I don't think they are consistently great one on one.

Oscar Wilde mentioned above has Mars in 3rd. He used to be that type who is great at shooting from the hip. I imagine in dinner parties he was a laugh a minute guy to others but also quite verbally terrifying.

Fire Mercury, Mercury in fire houses,Mars/Mercury, Uranus/Mercury, Mars /Venus or Mars/Uranus are also the type to do this.

I have Mercury/Mars square,Mercury in 9th conj Mc, Mars in Libra and Mercury square Ac. Over the years I have learned to curb my enthusiasm to talk "off the cuff" as it offends others.

Gemini Moon is very talkative. Sometimes to a point of ear exhaustion on my end But I can empathize as I also have Moon in 3rd and so i do get that its an emotional need to express oneself.

What I sometimes appreciate about the sensitive types who choose their words is that they recognize the power of words to harm or heal.

I don't want someone "shooting off the cuff" if I have someone who is non-gender conforming next to me for instance.Some situations call for more sensitivity. Its not a comedy showcase.

The "off the cuff" people ca say whatever comes into their head regardless of whom the audience is and unintentionally cause a raucous. I have done this myself unknowingly. It can be a mess.

I do however think that the same impromptu people can be instrumental in advancing the rights and needs of those too shy to speak for themselves.When on the side of the liberator, they are very effective.

Rosie O'Donnel is such an example of an "off the cuff" person whom on the program "The View" would be a maverick; At times she would get it so right and at other times alienate others and get it so wrong.

She has Mercury in Pisces/Mars in Pisces with Gemini Asc. Mars/Mercury in her case epitomized this double edged sword I speak of.

I got the same compliment.I find Sun in Gemini/3rd house or Leo Mercury/Sun conj Mercury tend to express themselves through words a lot.

Being listened to or heard is very important. They can find inventive ways of using language to convey a message -thjs especially when Uranus aspects Mercury or the Sun.

The Gem ex had a unique way of telling stories. His Uranus opp Sun, square Moon/Mercury and Mars in Libra.

I know most people don't think of Libra as intellectual but Libra is air and very intellectual. They are however more concerned about the "beautification" of words than Gemini or Aqua is.

Libra for instance would love a well-written book with words written in poetic verse. Gemini would appreciate a book that uses clever words and double entendres. And Aqua would be a fan of one that is explicit,direct or revolutionary in some way. It has to be original.

Hmm I don't mind a bit of a raucous so maybe thats why I don't mind them much.

That Megan Rapinoe still p!ssed me off tho, even her face p!sses me off!!! With that said, I don't mind Donald Trump , so there's that.

Yeah Gem Moons can be bloody exhausting, my ex agreed when we broke-up.

Oh my Mars in Libra certainly minds the raucous. I literally get the shakes or have to look down/walk away

What makes Megan so annoying? lol. I thought she was a talk show host or something. But I think she is a soccer player?

Have you noticed that most romcoms have a Mercury strong individual as the lead? This whether it's a female/male?

"Sex and the City" -"Cary Bradshaw" was to me a Gem Sun archetype. She was a writer who used her experiences as as single girl navigating New York as inspiration for a book.

The Mindy Project I have always felt has the lead character as Sun in Gem.And Mindy does have Moon/ Venus in Gemini natally. Venus square Saturn in Virgo. The self deprecation is very Gemini.

Ally McBeal has Calista Flockhart natal Asc in Gemini
Her character on the show was very Mercurial imo. Maybe a fictional Mars/Mercury in Libra since dealing with the law? But there were awkward situations she got herself into.

I found the Allen Shore character on "Boston Legal" very Aquarian but with Gemini definitely in there. Perhaps Saturn there or Mc in Gem. The character was sharp! Even though at times very unscrupulous.

"Never Been Kissed" with Gem Asc natal Drew Barrymore's character Josie "Grossy" was a news columnist for a city paper working on an undercover story in a high school(Geminis are often drawn back to high school or neighbourhoods they grew up in at some points in their lives)

"How to Lose a guy in 10 days" character of Jennifer Hudson was also a magazine journalist. This is a Gemini/Mercury profession.

Mel Gibson's character on "What Women Want" was also to me a Gemini. He was working for an advertising firm and tricked his boss out of a job. Classic Gemini.

I guess its because Gemini is the proverbial "observer" and so most characters who are leads are written with that open-endedness? So the audience gets an "objective" view?

I see the characters on the cancelled show "Mistresses" also showing Gemini flavours. They get together for tea to discuss each others lives. A very Gemini thing to do. As is the case with "Devious Maids".

When thinking of Gemini as a kid, I have a picture of men watching a game & discussing their wives /girlfriends. I don't know where the image came from.But its stayed with me since.

Uhmmm....thats because you are not exactly Timmy Tactful Dumuzi I think there is a place and time for it. Not every place is ideal for me.

Like for instance in my case, its only the Aqua Sun friend I have whom I can shoot from the hip with.He does the same.

But in both cases I must stress that I am NOT the subject matter. Things are less subjective

I can be both, although I'm usually not the harsher sort. I have had my moments. The other day, I was actually ready to get into an argument - I wanted to, because I wanted to get something off my chest. Then I calmed down, and just wanted to find somewhere to talk about something, but I also want to make sure that I won't offend - and that nobody will be trying to offend me. On this forum, if I want to be "off the cuff" I go to global unity. A handful of people, who know what to expect from each other (as everyone else avoids the forum, because it's mostly toxic).

Most of the time, I'm concerned about people's feelings.

I think I'm a combination of the communication styles mentioned in this thread, and I enjoy both as well. In a group setting I'm the one blurting out whetever comes through my head, usually to the entertainment of others (I tend to be self-deprecating though, not really likely to be hurtful)... but one on one I tend to be thoughtful and sensitive. Not sure how emotionally expressive I am though. I like when there is an intuitive emphatic connection between me and the person I'm talking to and I don't mind deep topics, but I don't like when a subject becomes too emotionally involved. I like to keep a very level head.

Mars conjunct Mercury in Cancer, both conjunct Midheaven from the 9th. Mercury in mutual reception with Virgo Moon in the 12th. Mars and Mercury both sextile Moon, trine Pluto and opposite Neptune. Mercury tightly square Libra ascendant. Saturn and Uranus in sagittarius in the 3rd. Neptune in Capricorn conjunct IC from the 3rd.
