Mine is Taurus. In the above, it quoted Taureans as having to feel the truth of something before they will commit to it. That's very true for me for the most part. But I think the author in question (not Happy Dragon) failed to see how this can apply to concepts as well as facts. We are capable of dealing with abstract thought, although you wouldn't think so from some of the website definitions of Mercury signs.

Is it a bad thing to hestiate to commit to something before you feel sure? I wouldn't say so. Intellectually this approach is also compatible with high levels of study. Making things up won't do in that environment. In the media unchallenged facts seem to get slapped in print more frequently than I like, maybe with a few made things up along the way. They start to be accepted as truth and that doesn't sit well with me nor does sloppy journalism where the basic facts aren't straight.

Moo.

Aries ~ finished first.

Taurus ~ needed more time to complete the task. They needed to make sure what they put was as true as possible.

Gemini ~ wrote the longest list.

Cancer ~ finished the list and gave each other a massage.

Leo ~ there was only one and he was put (rather cruelly) with the Aquarians.

Virgo ~ there was a bit of a scrap and someone ended up in tears when her ideas were ripped apart by the others.

Libra ~ got along well but were concerned about completing the task right.

Scorpio ~ he couldn't remember what they put, he might have repressed what they came up with.

Sagittarius ~ finished the list and drifted off into a philosophical discussion about astrology in general.

Capricorn ~ got on O.K but called him over a few times to make sure they were doing the task correctly.

Aquarians ~ some power struggles in this group ~ {no wonder when he pulled the trick of sticking a Leo in the middle}.

Pisces ~ had some difficulty with the task, they thought that their Sun sign made a difference as to how it affected them.

Upon entering this thread, my first thought was, "Well, an Arien's Mercury in Pisces is bound to work and manifest differently than an Aquarian's or a Piscean's..."

I visited a garden with one of them ~ he was a bit bored and stood waiting outside moaning about how long Mercury in Leo was taking.

He said: I can absorb information faster than most people, I don't need to take this much time.

I said: she will be able to tell you all about the variety of flowers, just ask her, I bet she will know far more than you.

He said: I wasn't looking at the flowers.

I said: It's an effin' garden, what were you looking at if you weren't looking at the flowers?

Actually, I'm an Aries with Pisces Mercury. My best friend is a Pisces with Pisces Mercury.. and one of our other friends is an Aqua girl with a very late Pisces Mercury.

The mental connection between me and Pisces girl is very strong (but our Mercuries are in aspect). That being said when we are all out - we can easily communicate across a room without any words being exchanged.

We usually agree on a lot of things. We like and dislike the same things and the same people We even have code language!

One thing though, is I have an uncanny ability to just know what someone's motives are. A very psychic, tangible knowing what they are up to or what their next move will be.

Having Venus in Libra (11th) softens any tendencies toward cutting remarks, but when provoked, it isn't pretty. Fiery Sag Sun, Asc and Mars helps with a big push.

As I get older though, am less sarcastic or off-handed with remarks.
