I have many symptoms of adult ADHD and I was wondering if my natal aspects can give clues about it.

I have a tight mercury uranus square and I rarely have a relaxed mind. I'm constantly thinking (I know most people are) but in high speed and it can get exhausting sometimes. The good thing is I'm never bored, my mind comes up with crazy and funny s h i t so I'm very good at entertaining myself.

I have a Sagittarius-Uranus and Pisces-Mercury square,
and I have an official ADHD diagnosis. Also ASD.

Even so I am very functional in my areas of operation, so it is currently not 'clinically active' as a disorder according to my psychiatrist.
It becomes a clinical disorder the moment it prevents you from functioning efficiently in society and you take damage because of it.

It's really a huge blessing as long as you learn how to utilize it. Like all squares.

You should begin to meditate, if you haven't already.

I get what you are saying. I can definitely function rather well but I think a big reason is that my job gives me very much freedom. I'm not very restricted at all.

Though, I've always wondered...🤔 Is ADD/ADHD really a thing, or is it just Biology/Astrology...because I think moments like these happen to everybody to some degree, but more intense with those of us that have Mercury in aspect to Uranus.

Yep physical exercise can be a form of meditation.
I assume you mean the 'still-and-quiet' version is boring.

Precisely because it is so contrary to habit (=boring) I find it is most effective for long term balance. But it's certainly a project.

It's just like running long distance: you reach a point where you've had enough (tired/bored) but when you push through that first barrier you start to really get the benefits and it becomes addictive.

When the new habit is installed you begin to be in a natural state of meditation without necessarily having to go into it formally.

That's a state of receptivity you are naturally more attuned to by virtue of the Mercury/Uranus condition. The overthinking is the effect of having taken in so much information. The natural receptivity is why thinking is hyperactive - connections everywhere, huge sets of data.

Meditation lets your mind be still and this makes the information organize itself, rather than have your ego do it.

I must have gotten pretty lucky then to have these traits without them getting as bad as you describe. My brother on the other hand, used to be put on "Riddeline" but that stuff messed him up a lot, it would make him too tired and unable to really take part in anything, thankfully no permenant damage was incurred to him, eventually he grew out of it, and is now healthy and happy, even during these crazy times.

What are your thoughts?
Anyone else with this aspect who experiences something similar (very fast thinking, scattered thinking, not finishing concepts because new ideas come in all the time...)

Uranus is essentially clear complete information. When it comes in contact with Mercury, Mercury tries to make sense of it on its own terms. Mercury should just be receptive to Uranus' shipments and let them fall into place on their own - that's what meditation teaches.

I don't mind the still and quiet. I love it when it's still and quiet around me actually. What I find boring about meditation is following the instructions (when I do guided meditation via a youtube video) because they don't seem to be in tune with me most of the time if you know what I mean. And then the thoughts that keep popping back into my mind all the time. I know it's normal but my perfectionist self expects me to be mind-still immediately.
Any tips from your side what type of meditation would be good for someone like me?

---

Ah I see. Most guided stuff on the market is crap, exactly for the reasons you mention.

Simple solution, and this is a overall pretty good life-strategy: go to the best.

2 suggestions:

In the States, or even the world, I don't think many people come close to Jon Kabat-Zinn.
He is the founder of the mindfulness-based Stress Reduction Clinic at Massachusetts Institute of Medicine.
His products are top-of-the-line guided meditation.
I used his Series 3 cd's when I started and they are exceptionally effective.
https://www.mindfulnesscds.com/pages/about-the-author
https://www.mindfulnesscds.com/collections/cds/products/series-3

Second suggestion is the Gateway Experience Program by Bob Monroe/The Monroe Institute.
7 CD's (I think) that help to increase psi-related abilities and self-awareness of deeper layers of consciousness.
The primary component of these CD's is the 'hemi-sync' tones that Monroe patented, which is basically the same as binaural beats.
Info about Monroe: http://youtu.be/-GxiUgkuPlo

It's a pretty massive and different project compared to Kabat-Zinn.
But if the aim is to approach some kind of mastery in terms of consciousness-utilization - essentially to wake you up to the depths of your inherent natural capabilities - I would begin with Kabat-Zinn and then weave in the Gateway-Program after a while.
These two are a very powerful combination.

As you can see the Gateway Program is super expensive compared to Kabat-Zinn's series - but if you can use torrent-downloads you can find Gateway on sites such as piratebay.

For me too it's difficult to concentrate or focus on one task for long.

I get distracted very easily not so much from the outside environment but from the ideas that come into my mind to check out something else on the internet.

I'm going to repaste something I wrote on another thread, which may be helpful to you and/or others.

"These techniques [meditation and guidance communication tips/techniques] if practiced sincerely may be quite helpful for you in that endeavor. http://www.linda-goodman.com/ubb/Forum10/HTML/005200.html

If you are not practiced at deep meditation, a meditation facilitating Hemi-Sync recording might be very helpful to practice in conjunction with the techniques and tips in the above link. I really like "Higher" and "Opening the Heart", but they have a number of good ones and you can listen to various samples on one of the sites.

If you have a computer or program that can decode FLAC, you can try these links and see if it works. Hemi-Sync works best with headphones. [Apart from the Gateway set, the below are some of my favorite Hemi-Sync recordings personally, these are linked to my Google Drive--eventually these links will become inactive].

I'm surprised to hear this from someone with a smooth merc ur aspect as a harmonious aspect shouldn't cause that many distractions

I have had the Gateway Voyage Wave set on CD for many years. Also, my partner and I attended the Gateway Voyage Program at Faber, VA for our honey moon a number of years back. The Monroe Institute is the real deal, and they are as internationally well known as they are, not because of advertising but because of word of mouth from people that have gone there, use their audio recordings, etc.

You're very welcome Kani. Btw, if you don't already know, FLAC is a type of audio, pseudo compression technology that reduces the amount of data that a recording takes up, but completely preserves the full sonic integrity of the recording. Still sounds like CD quality.

Not really important for most music, but apparently more intense compression can affect Hemi-Sync stuff a bit negatively (reduce it's effectiveness), or at least Skip Atwater explained while we were there.

---

I actually did the "Opening the heart" meditation yesterday and it was something else! I did the whole 41min because I instantly felt an effect; that is something I never did before, as I usually lose patience after 15-20mins or so. The person who put that audio together, especially with the sound effects, knew what they were doing.
The effectiveness was felt for sure, despite the compression.
I will try the other one today.
Thanks again

Oh, I meant that's the beauty of FLAC format, it reduces the data taken up by a file, without actually distorting/removing the information at all. It's a really cool format.
