Out of all the Mercury signs, Pisces Mercuries dislike speaking or can’t do or are unable? More so the ones who have it between 0 and 10 degrees. What do you think about this? I have Mercury in the later degrees of Pisces; when I was younger, my classmates mistook my reluctance to speak in front of others for mutism, as I tend to blabber on endlessly around close friends or family. But my Mercury is in Pisces, in a square to Neptune, and I had some issues as a…...

Question: Is Mercury, when it’s in its own sign of Virgo, overly critical and fixated on finding faults and issues that need to be fixed? Mercury in Virgo can be very intense, and I’ve always found the energy of Virgoans to be very focused. Virgo puts a lot of pressure on themselves to order everything and to have it run efficiently and into a flowing rhythm. When Mercury in Virgo looks at their life, they might feel just as overwhelmed as a Pisces. So much needs to be done, and so many…...

When you fear losing the visible impact of direct and authoritative communication, you cease to communicate successfully with others. You may have a tendency to speak in ways that appear aggressive, overbearing, and almost militant in expression. This challenging, intimidating attitude toward the audience can result in alienation and misunderstanding. When your attention is on communicating in a way that inspires others to act, your natural sense of combat is turned into a creative, stimulating interaction. By focusing on inspiring others, you are able to express yourself in ways that…...

Your mind is always active, always seeking. You want to know something about everything, and eagerly pursue each new idea that comes along – for a little while, at least. Like a butterfly flitting from flower to flower, you enjoy sampling a bit of everything but rarely stick to anything for very long. There’s always something more interesting just over the next hill. One day your passion might be archaeology, the next day stock car racing, and the next gourmet cooking. You’re the sort who’ll try anything once, but you…...

In Leo, Mercury gives us a native who is apt to be subjective – he takes a known fact and applies it to his own life, thoughts, feelings, personal symbols. He takes the large view, doesn’t like to think in bits and pieces, wants to see the project as a whole. He sees persons in relation to their lives, their abilities, their accomplishments. This native sometimes is overwhelmed with the difference in what he thinks he desires and what he actually surrounds himself with – including the people he loves…...

Sense impressions never reach you till they have been interpreted. What you see, hear, smell, taste and feel is swiftly given significance before it arrives at the reacting center of the brain. You never see just a chair; you see a beautiful chair, an old chair, a charming chair, a chair that looks comfortable or uncomfortable. You never hear just a noise; before you have heard it, it has been labelled pleasant or raucous or sweet or whatever. Your senses take the impression, hold it for ransom, and say to…...

Sense impressions reach you through a strict moral and aesthetic censor. You see, hear, taste, smell and feel with the proprieties of art and society in mind, and have few sensory reactions that do not have to submit to this type of Judgement. A color is not just red to you; it is a warm red, or a cold red, or a beautiful or ugly red. Further, in addition to the artistic standard, you apply the standard of good taste; and what you see or hear will revolt you if…...

You tend to overlook what is right before your eyes; to neglect what is shouting right in your ear, because your attention is on bigger, or anyway farther-off, things. You don’t see details. Sometimes you don’t hear little squibs of conversation and thus miss the whole point. Your senses were wool-gathering, or else you fixed your attention on something else. They are keen enough, but tend to scatter; they do not need to be sharpened so much as they need to be directed. Your feet may stumble because your eyes…...

When you indulge in Capricorn fears of losing status by not knowing the answers to everything, you can develop a pretence of being the final intellectual authority in all fields. You may use every opportunity to gather knowledge and impress others, always assuming an authoritarian attitude. This can result in alienation and a breakdown of your credibility with other people. A pretentious manner when speaking may disenchant others, provoking them to withhold information. This can lead to a constant disruption of any attempted communication. When you focus on the informational…...
