Same, and I have Pallas conjunct Mercury and the sun. Which is why I don't really buy that the sun burns up mercury and makes people imbeciles...*smirk*.

I have Mercury contraparallel Uranus, too.

I thought sun conjunct mercury made someone witty and a good conversationalist?
I have Pallas opposing mercury and moon. Not sure if that's a good thing?

Mercury conjunct Sun
Mercury conjunct Venus
Mercury conjunct Jupiter
Mercury square Uranus
Mercury trine Neptune
Mercury opp Ascendant

I was in the "gifted and talented" program in elementary school, in accelerated classes in Junior high, then AP classes in high school where I won several awards for debate and speech writing, honor roll, all of that. I have two undergraduate degrees, both summa c*m laude, one masters degree (3.8 GPA - freakin' A- and B+!!!) and I am working on a second masters. I belong to a couple of honor societies (Psi Chi and Pi Gamma Mu). This on top of a couple of graduate certificates and even lots of non-credit stuff. If I have an extra hundred bucks I'll spend it on a non-credit class on underwater basket weaving, something, anything, because I love taking different classes and learning as much as I can.

I am a fast reader, not quite a speed reader, and I can spot "the main idea" of things right away. Not just in literature but even things like letters, contracts, etc.

I think that I am good at writing speeches and debating because my writing style is straight forward and not too-too flowery (Mercury in Leo?). Flowery language gets annoying and this is why I am not a poetry fan. I understand it and I have no problem dissecting it but, honestly, I can't stand it. I am also a great technical writer - manuals and instructions are my specialty. I have received several commendations for creating "how-to" guides at a few of my jobs.

I don't really have a specific learning style. Visual, auditory, kinesthetic - they are all good and equal with me.

I have been told, many times, that I look smart, or look like an expert or like I "know what I am doing". People ask me for help everywhere - on the street, in school, anywhere.

Something I attribute to Pluto in the 8th conjunct Moon and the Pallas-Moon-Mars grand trine: I put things together quickly. Meaning, I can easily see patterns and draw conclusions. I link little bits of information together to get an entire story and I am often correct, I don't have to really reach. I find myself saying "Oh, that's why!" to myself a lot. It is also hard to keep a secret from me, especially since people leave so many clues and they don't even realize it. This gives me good judgement.

I am quite clever, a creative problem solver ("shows ingenuity", lol). I will even use the oddest objects to fix things.

I have an awesome sense of direction. Sometimes it is intuitive and sometimes I will just read a map (seems obvious, but not everyone can read a map). I am bad at giving directions on the street because of the intutive thing though. I need a few minutes to think and usually people are in a hurry so, bad...But, if someone hands me a map, I can easily tell them where to go!

All of this and my Mercury is retrograde! It is also combust (Sun at 7Leo20, Mercury at 8Leo22)! I looked up Athene and it doesn't make any major aspects except for a partile sextile with Uranus, which is my chart ruler and is conjunct my MC and is stationary direct (Athene at 16Virgo20, Uranus at 16Scorpio56)...

Oh, and I am a ditzy dipstick sometimes. It is harder for smart people to see the obvious because we are looking for the obsure.

posted December 18, 2011 04:57 PM            

As for my aspects that can indicate intelligence:

Mercury(retrograde) in gemini in the 8th house
Mercury conjunct venus
Mercury conjunct sun(taurus)
Mercury quincunx uranus

Those are the basic ones at least. I have people tell me I should be a psychologist, as I can read people like a book and I seldom miss a trick. I forget what aspect shows that though. Some kind of minor but signifigant aspect to my moon I think.

I personally have tsquare involving mercury/sun/moon and Athene conjuncts sun and mercury. I have sun/mercury in virgo conjunct MC and my mercury falls in the 9th cusp. I feel these aspects have helped me along with my nice pluto aspects overcome significantly this tsquare but that tsquare definitely made my academic life a struggle during my childhood and as I have grown older it has become less and less of an issue and now at 28 years of age find myself getting straight As which was not the case in childhood, in HS my GPA was 3.0 as well as in undergrad school. Now in grad school is a 3.9. I still need to work a lot on my grammar though . Basically those squares involving mercury have been more and more manageable as I age and little by little a weakness is turning into a strength.

Currently going to a 2-year intensive formation for elite schools ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Classe_pr%C3%A9paratoire_aux_grandes_%C3%A9coles ), and there's this other person I know the chart of, who used to have better grades than anyone else in high school, but now has grades that tend to be lower than mine (she is in the same class as I am). Her chart:

If you're referring to math... learning formulas is only obtaining the tools to actually do maths, which means solving complex problems with numbers and learnt formulas. That's like saying running around a stadium is not athleticism because you only need shoes.

Similar thing for engineering. Formulas are only there so you get the starting material to do what you're supposed to do, which is the part that actually requires intelligence.
For physics, it's also similar, in the sense that understanding and learning properties and formulas is a thing, but putting them to work to discover or prove new things is another.

I have MERCURY conjunct URANUS 1°, which are also parallel. They are conjunct my MC, on the 9H side. URANUS is also my chart ruler. 2H PALLAS opp Libra MOON 0°. Sag SUN = lifetime student.

My 3R is exalted in the 11H (Uranian house), and my 9R is in the 9H (Sagittarian house). URANUS is exalted in Scorpio. Asteroid TALENT is quintile MERCURY.

Genetically, both my parents are strong in math and science. My mother was a mainframe programmer, while my father has two bachelors, and worked a long while in the field of virology before changing careers to computers.

I never had any problems in school. In fact, I loved it, and participated in the Talented and Gifted "TAG" program, studied in pre-AP and AP classes, and was an honor student with straight A's. I was accepted to study in a special college course at age 12, based on my 6th grade provisional test scores. My only "weak" subject was Athletics, lol (asthmatic childhood).

I graduated magna *** laude (ugh, bitter feelings toward that Philosophy professor for ruining my perfect GPA), and on the President's list every semester. As for Greek societies, I am a member of the national Alpha Chi, and the more local Phi Eta Sigma. My IQ score is quite high, and I habitually like to surround myself with highly intellectual peers. The biggest egghead probably has an IQ around 160, or so. They are endlessly interesting, and in turn lift me up.

I am adept at self-teaching, a quick learner, and very organized (2H PALLAS). Show me something, and I can probably figure it out without anyone's help or instruction. Give me a problem, and I can probably find a better way to solve it. I have good intuition, and pretty good insight. I also have strong writing skills.

I don't think the MERC-URA conjunction is magical or anything, but I think it definitely imbues a certain efficiency and speed to the entire process. As such, I just get more done more swiftly. It frustrated me a bit as a child, because I would often wonder why we would spend so much time on certain lessons, and wanted to move on before everyone else. I often would read ahead, to keep myself interested.

Yes brilliance was indicated by Uranus conj Mercury in Pisces.
However, that also attributed to the insanity.

Hi, Amelia28

Is music not an indicator of intelligence? Is art not? Is being able to navigate the emotional spectrum of yourself and others not intelligence? Doesn't Scorpio have its own kind of intelligence? Sagittarius? Taurus? A finely placed Jupiter can bring about as much intelligence as a finely placed mercury, simply in a higher form. I really don't understand the absolute obsession with mercury and to a lesser extent Uranus on this forum at all...Pluto and Saturn can represent different types of brilliance as well. Even Venus can give one intelligence, especially socially.

Hell, I'd say that for good judgment is if people know how to read others WITHOUT suspicion or judgment and to act accordingly for the benefit of all involved. "Good judgment" is even more subjective and complicated than intelligence so don't even get me started on it.

Tl;Dr: there is more than one kind of brilliance and intelligence, many of which are just as valuable if not more so than "book smarts" and there are different "good judgments" for different people.

I am perfectly aware of this. I am in the field of psychology and we do cover this and yes good judgement does not automatically equal intelligence but there is a correlation between the two.

You can reply to this post and say for this type of intelligence I feel so and so aspects contribute to it and for this so and so etc....

Its an open thread exploratory in nature.
