Mercury in Aquarius

Here Mercury is in an air sign, in the domain of Uranus and Saturn. You may have a tendency towards paradoxical thinking, reversals and changes of your own opinion, and a great need for freedom. Your selection of information is likely voluntaristic: you like this, and you don't like that. You are capable of improvisations, instantaneous comprehension, flashes of insight; you can suddenly understand something or instantly assimilate entire blocks of information. This comes to you naturally, everything happens like a flash of lightning (unlike Mercury in Aries), and you may not particularly strive for anything. Your memory can be very whimsical; you don't even always know what exactly you will remember. For example, you might forget elementary things but remember huge blocks of information, though often in a rather distorted form. Since Mercury in Aquarius gives a vision of unusual and strange connections, your logical chains and systems can be unconventional. One can note your ability to generate, invent entire pieces of text, instantly improvising with a sense of complete finality. If you tell something invented on the fly, others get the impression that this material has been processed for a long time. Your stories can come out all at once, rather than line by line; you are likely an amazing improviser, as if reading something already written. But there is another side to this: you may have an unfocused mind, you probably jump very easily from subject to subject, sometimes scattering your efforts. You may not study very well, but you have a tremendous capacity for self-education. However, it is impossible to make you learn something until you want to yourself. Mercury in Aquarius often brings radical changes, a complete revolution in views, therefore, this position is often found in many scientists and inventors who are pioneers, entering the new precisely through Aquarius. If you work in such a field, you probably deal with completely fresh information, bringing new knowledge into the world. In communication, you can be quite extravagant and original, eccentric and even strange, capable of behaving in an incomprehensible way. This applies especially to your manner of speech; you may be prone to distorting words, using strange expressions, and having a tendency towards paradoxical judgments. By changing the accent or one letter, you are capable of completely changing the meaning of words and phrases. You may have a tendency to invert the meaning of words. Most likely, you are courteous, coolly friendly, and can turn a conversation or pose a question from a completely unexpected angle. Apparently, you like to shock other people. Most people in communication have an idea of what is expected of them. But you don't always want to meet expectations; sometimes you are capable of rather strange actions precisely because the opposite is expected of you. Furthermore, you do not tolerate restrictions in communication, routine, and conventional forms very well. In general, you are attached to everything new; you often build communication on the principle of originality: from academics to vagrants. Probably, for you, the main thing is that a person is not like others. Sometimes you are capable of inventing new forms of communication, conducting many experiments, which can lead to trouble (from a conventional point of view). But you look at what happens in communication as if from the outside, somewhat detached. If your experimental form of communication proves appropriate, you begin to solidify it within yourself, and if not, everything returns to its usual course. You are capable of changing the atmosphere in your circle, but not constantly, because Aquarius is a fixed sign. The dynamic of such a transition comes in waves for you: there are periods of consolidation, when there is a slow accumulation of information, but then an instantaneous reversal occurs, during which you manifest brightly and experiment a lot. Moreover, this state will likely last quite a long time, as all fixed signs have very great inertia after a transition. Then a certain level is established in the situation, and again there is a phase of consolidation, accumulation. Such development resembles a ladder; it happens in steps. An afflicted Mercury in Aquarius can give variability and instability in connections, a tendency towards easy and absolutely sudden breaks in contact. Of course, people are greatly offended by such behavior. In this case, due to your extravagance, you can also cross the boundaries of normal human communication. If such manifestations fall within ethical norms, they can be considered quite harmonious. But if you cross these boundaries, the consequences will be very negative. You can sometimes be difficult to understand, as interlocutors cannot keep up with your thoughts. The truth in your intellect can often be hidden in contradictions.

These children are distinguished by their lively minds and original ideas. They do not accept traditional approaches, and everything new and unusual captures their attention. Their views and representations do not fit into any frameworks. In their worldview, they are closer to futurists, and in some ways, to dissidents. They love everything unconventional, whether it's people or things. Children with Mercury in Aquarius are logicians. They often surprise those around them with their obstinacy in defending their ideas. However, they deserve credit, as they indeed possess developed intuition that helps them. The only thing you can do here is to slow down the flight of their rapid thoughts so that intuition can work. Everything unusual and unexpected attracts them like a magnet. In their representations of the world and people, they are, of course, idealists. Explain to them that traditional ideas and representations often have a rational kernel, and they cannot be dismissed without reservation. In short, it is not necessary to reinvent the wheel every time. The location of Mercury in Aquarius does not contribute to the manifestation of excessive emotionalism. Such children have a clear, logical, and clean thinking. It is quite possible that they will early develop abilities in mathematics, abstract sciences in general, and, of course, everything related to computers. The process of thinking itself brings them pleasure, and in the future, they may become great inventors. They are pleasant to communicate with and carefully listen to their interlocutor, especially if their words contain something new and unusual that can become a food for their inquisitive mind. They love interesting and unconventional people. Their friends may seem a bit strange to you. Such children are attracted to ideas of global scale, and they are ready to make great sacrifices for the benefit of humanity, forgetting not only themselves but also those around them. These "children of the Cosmos" do not need to become a bit more practical and occasionally descend from the heavens to the earthly sin. Since they live by reason, not by feelings, they need to learn to be more tolerant of people who cannot distinguish feelings from thoughts, and thoughts from feelings. From childhood, they live with the spirit of rebels and dissidents. It is quite possible that, becoming a bit older, they will defend the offended, oppressed, and humiliated. In short, they are ready to fight against any injustice, but especially against political injustice. From them may come first-class lawyers. But remember, they tend to protest about anything, so teach them to think about the meaning of their actions and enter into a struggle only when the goal is worth it. Such children will like flying on airplanes, they will be interested in astronomy, astrology, and everything related to space. Try to calmly accept the very unexpected ideas of your baby. You yourself understand that it is impossible to change their way of thinking, and is it worth it? But what you can (and should) do is help the child become more practical. It is also very useful to teach him to read as soon as possible, because only then he can satisfy his constant need for new information. Try to fill the life of your baby with fresh impressions - the effect will be amazing: the need for strict measures and punishment will disappear by itself. Perhaps, most of all, you will be surprised by your child's incredibly strong desire for new ideas and incredibly quickly fading interest in them as soon as they cease to be new. Do not be too serious. A drop of humor has never harmed anyone. Jokes and fun are good for all children, and especially for these.

A developed Mercury gives Aquarius excellent combinatory abilities in any sphere of mental ideas, the ability for witty synthesis and for all kinds of communication, both with the surrounding reality and directly with the subtle world. A Mercurial Aquarius is capable of creating large and detailed symbolic languages through which previously absolutely untransmittable informational messages can be conveyed from egregore to egregore, including those of a spiritual nature. Strictly speaking, the mystical-spiritual plane is poorly suited for transmission through Mercurial symbolic systems; they serve rather as means of tuning a person into corresponding psychic states in which perception occurs directly through telepathy. This, of course, is very difficult, since mysticism has to speak in a language unnatural to it. However, such systems are necessary, and in the highest octave of Mercury, their creation becomes possible. At the same time, Mercury orients Aquarius toward purely mental perception of the world and tempts them to view reality as a certain game subject to description by formal (for example, mathematical) methods, attempting to narrow Aquarius’ already limited abilities for essential and emotional perception, providing too good a compensation. Why try to feel something when mental images arise so easily in the mind, so clearly, understandably, and conveniently describing and explaining everything? A Mercurial Aquarius still needs to understand that these images, as well as all kinds of logical reasoning, arise too easily for them to claim adequacy to reality. However, rational intellect, applied to the unexplored reality of the future with which Aquarius deals, can crudely simplify subtleties and fail to grasp all that is new that the egregore is trying to convey. Therefore, in this Mercury position, there is a great danger of mistaking mental mobility—that is, combinatory abilities—for depth and breadth of mind. In the process of communication with the subtle world, Aquarius’ primary impulse is Uranian (instantaneous informational revelation), and only afterward should Mercurial processing and comprehension follow; here arises the temptation to pass off the output of rational, however brilliant, thought as Uranian inspiration.

The mind is open, truth is the highest criterion for them. They understand things that seem terrible to others. Humanists. The ability for spiritual synthesis. Strong interest in mathematics and technology, engaged in the promotion and implementation of inventions, innovations, and reforms. They love to work in a team. Bad students and good academics. They do not recognize traditional systems of education and upbringing. Observant. Tendency to black humor, buffoonery and conscious attempts to deceive, superficiality of judgment, instability of mood, theatrical behavior. Dreamers. You closely follow progress, especially technological advances and new decisive discoveries in the field of science. You are confident that the problems facing humanity can be solved by creative intelligence, an inventive mind. You are irritated by those whose conservative, unimaginative view of the world is unable to see a progressive perspective of development. You also like to keep abreast of the latest developments in the field of intergovernmental relations. As a humanist, you are convinced that what happens in one part of the world affects another part of it. You have organizational skills and like to take part in all kinds of undertakings on a cooperative basis or in private enterprises that keep up with the times and are distinguished by originality.

As your child thinks, learns, and communicates All that you may hear from your child will begin with the words: "I know...". Such behavior of a "know-it-all" may be accompanied, regardless of age, by strong irritation. This child will surprise and amaze you with their original ideas. The fact that a new idea may seem unsuitable or uncomfortable to you or teachers will not make a strong impression on your child. Be prepared for the fact that some of your ideas will be disputed by this nonconformist thinker, and they will let you know what they think openly enough. It's better for you to develop a position of tolerant interest - without emotions. Emotions do not affect them. Logic and reason can convince, but not emotions, and even less so references to standards accepted by other people. But note that by disputing or questioning authorities, your child will likely learn in the best way for them. Provide them with an educational environment that encourages intellectual freedom, and where the latest techniques are studied.
