I also got mercury square jupiter/neptune/saturn/uranus

People often say that I am intelligent, but I don't think I am myself, well not on a "daily basis"... I do tend to think a lot though, and regarding any "bigger" or "advanced" subject I tend to understand things Its funny cause I'm a virgo, so I would have thought I was more into smaller details, but I often find myself caring a lot more about bigger visions, philosophy and the big picture

I guess the coment about planets in 6th is the resonance with Virgo. being virgo ruled by mercury it makes sense. however, one thing I have observed about mercury virgos (this assuming someone has no other factors influencing that) is that virgo tend to be very logical, sequential, matter of fact and detail oriented. these are good qualities in the thinking & scientific process.however, when it is about creativity and insights, I am not impressed. Unless that mercury in virgo has other aspects such as uranus or neptune, I suspect that virgo will not have any EUREKA.. my experience not validated in a wide sample

as regards to your aspects, I believe that you must be intelligent given the placement you mentioned. the stellium in 6th (virgo quality) added to the uranian, neptunian, saturnian, jupiterean aspects gives you a lot of wideness, big picture, capability to keep opposites in your mind until a breaktrough comes, and the focus of saturn with all his logical thinking..

congrat!!!

I have almost the same: Merc/Jup (close) both trine Saturn and both square Neptune. But Merc/Jup are in Pisces 5th house...

I did graduate from a gifted program and am multilingual, if that means intelligent (realistically it just means you learn faster and adapt better than average--intelligence is part genetic and part educational attention--there are many things that I struggle with)... but I have no earth in my chart not even by house so I'm creative but can't survive in worlds that demand earth-style behaviour--I have none. I'm very creative but when you lack earth, people generally don't take you seriously so you lack opportunity. I also have Saturn/MC so there's also an oppressive energy on public acceptance.

Can we lie?--I think we are just the same as everyone else. I think lying is mostly socialized behaviour. But, if this relates, many people think I'm lying and don't trust me even though I'm telling the truth. This is a problem in all areas of life.

I think the Merc/Jup square Neptune (Sag H3) helps me see through people and see when they lie because I catch people lying all the time and typically eventually find out later that I was correct.

I'm also really good at bringing out the worst in people sometimes because I think they feel this square energy piercing them and they can't handle someone seeing the truth they don't want others to know, but you can't help what you feel. Blessing vs curse? You see more but you can easily be punished for it.

I should add that my Neptune is Rx and I think that makes a difference because the Neptune energy is going inwards rather than outwards. If it were outwards, perhaps it would be completely different.

Mercury-Saturn is more focused and capable of problem solving, more critical and skeptical.

Two types of intelligence, at least in potential.

I do alot of information gathering and process information a lot.

From the moment I get up I'm already trying to "connect the dots" on things.

For example the other day I was reading about how home construction projects where I live are slowing and are going on for shorter terms (6 months on average), then I start noticing lots of construction workers are starting to take the buss... I'm thinking that means something, the two are interrelated.

Mercury is my dominant planet so Jupiter-Mercury has a big effect on me. Its almost important that I see things now, make observations now and ideally make the right decisions now.

Its almost like radar for me, seeing whats going on and planning now.

I tend to think grand and can be a little theatrical at times. I love to tell stories and I will sit like a little kid forever listening to someone elses stories.

I know I shouldn't drag from another thread, but you sound so Leo. No wonder you were with a Gemini sun

Intellectual intelligence is not the only kind. Daniel Goleman wrote a book about [b]Emotional Intelligence. There is also intuition. People focus intelligence in different ways, because there are different ways of gathering and acting upon information at three levels: unconscious, subconscious, conscious.

First is expansive and incapsulating, second is contractive and discriminating.

Jupiter is easily overrated (inflated), I'm come to consider over the years. Sometimes it's all bluff, even the generosity and warm vibes of Jupiter. Jupiter can be as superficial and graspy as Venus, I dare say.
