Thanks for the compliment my group mates for a school project are beyond foolish.

My only problem is with Virgo and Aquarius both can become ridged, bias and stubborn with there thinking.

They might start off smart, but become stubborn and irrational over time.

The only thing is that when I'm learning something new, I have to take my time and learn it on my own - which is a total contradiction to the Gemini energy in my chart, which just wants to "pick it up" on the way (I've tried this before and it's always disastrous). I'm not as "quick" with learning as someone looking at my chart would perceive me to be. Once I have it, though, it sticks for good. I also learn a subject as thoroughly as possible. My 3rd house cusp is in Taurus, 9th house in Scorpio.

I have Mercury in Virgo. My Mercury trines Uranus, Saturn and Neptune, and squares my Moon/Mars in Gemini. My Mercury is also sextile my Pluto. My Sun, Moon, Mercury, Venus, and Mars are all ruled by Mercury. I also Sun-Mercury conjunction.

Purely from personal experience...

Sun-Mercury conjunction usually points to a person whose mind is always "on". I never have to worry about if they've spaced out or aren't paying attention - they're likely paying attention to everything going on around them. Because they spend so much time thinking, they're usually very intelligent.

Mercury-Saturn conjunctions seem to lend a person who is so disciplined with learning that they can focus on and mentally digest whatever they need to in order to succeed. They seem to have a great memory as well.

mercury pluto it gives depth, stamine to go after the intellectual interest and mistery. make for good researchers. mercury in scorpio & cancer give that schrewdeness as well

logical thinking mercury in capricorn, gemini, libra, aquarius, virgo mercury in aspect to saturn. it gives the capability for structure, to base arguments on data, evidence, arguments... not the charlatan type of mind. mercury in aspect to saturn gives some selfconsiusness, but true intelligent people dont think of themselves as genious, they know better!!!

retrograde mercury may give some hesitancy in communication and some people has learning disabilities that are notably. however, many bright minds are mercury retrograde. there is always an odd quality in the way these people process information, but not necesarily lack high intelligence

forgot to mention

Mercury jupiter or jupiter in 3rd house give the native the capacity to look at the big picture and dont get lost in details

mercury neptune... you know artist, people who cann connect with the collective unconsciouls and bring these to the surface.. architects, painters, musisians may exhibt this often, but I have not done any research on it...

overall, in a scientific you want to see a combination of mercury-saturn, mercury uranus, mercury-pluto or any combination by house or sign...

artist will need the touch of neptune

I noticed Sagittarius with Scorpio mercury , and also Scorpios with Sagittarius mercury.

Water/Air mooners.

planets in 3H.

Mercury aspecting pluto.

Some will say mercury aspecting uranus, well I have this aspect and I do think out of the box but my thoughts are pretty erratic.

sun+mercury in Aqua, I've seen these people they're incredibly creative.

My Aries mercury led me to engineering school

Ok, I can attest to this- and for this thinking, you also get an A+; whatever your placements!

Agreed.

Also, Mercury-Saturn folks have more self-censorship, so 'bad ideas' don't usually get outta the workshop.

I was an advanced reader, and considered to be clever, but I was terrible at maths (beyond the basics, of course). I hated algebra.

I think the Saturn square left me doubting myself, but I would apply myself. Get the easy stuff out of the way first, and then dig into the more difficult things when I had the energy. If I had to study for something that was important to me, I would somehow manage to focus on only that, until I was finished. I can't do that, anymore, so I wonder if a transit helped. When I was sixteen, and shut myself away for a week, to study, my sister thought I didn't like them anymore.

When I was depressed, I would forget about homework completely. And then rush to finish it the night before it was due.

^^ That's mighty modest of you, btw. I know very few people who would be comfortable saying they are hard-workers and not zip-zapping through things, so to speak. (Even when it's true).

The way you describe what you're good at and not, is ample proof that you're smart, T. We're all good at different things. And on top of that, you're not afraid to work hard.

Lotta folks who consider themselves smart get mentally lazy, if you ask me. I've watched some of my friends, who had a lot of potential, screw things up this way. If they'd but had some stick-to-itiveness.

After all, intelligence is not as static as we believe it to be. The mind can stretch and stretch - depending on how much we exercise it.

Conjunction is 6-10 degrees.

Also, for genius brilliance, there is the asteroid Quaoor.

Paul Mc Cartney has it conj Mercury

Einstein has it conj the ASC

Sun cnonjunct mercury is a very common aspect even in combustion, most of themworld has it. Statistically its asinine to think that the combustion means lowerd intelligence.

Yep.

I have it. I'm not of lower intelligence in any way. My brother has it. He's probably the most intelligent person I know. Many of my closest friends have it - they're all intelligent, accomplished individuals in their own right.

I have it in the 3rd in Libra and I'm average in all sorts of ways, although I enjoy learning. Even when these two are conjunct another clever asteroid - Archimedes:

Quaoar 13.32
Archimedes 13.56
Mercury 13.57

Waiting for the eureka moment!.
