Mercury in Aquarius

Mercury in Aquarius...

Mercury in Aquarius can be the most flexible and the most rigid thinker at the same time. They are willing to entertain any ideas, but bottom line, they have an internal set of rules and standards that they always abide by. These people will have conversations about topics that span the universe. They will offer differing points of view, listen to all of the arguments, and even throw in some humor that makes them seem like they are the most flexible thinkers in the world, until someone asks them what they think. Then, suddenly they voice their opinion as though it is a fact that everyone should have known was true from the start. Their confidence silences everyone and it seems like all of the discussion

really had no effect on them. They already had their opinion solidly fixed in their mind from the start. As the universal, fixed air sign, Aquarius is a thinker and has firm opinions based on global reasoning. Their universal outlook attempts to take every factor in the entire world into consideration when making decisions or judgments. Everything and everyone is connected and each thing and every person affects another. Correct decisions can only be based on this dynamic. Otherwise they are biased, or worse yet, selfish. Because Mercury in Aquarius uses these broad standards in forming their opinions, they are extremely confident about them.

When it comes to learning, Mercury in Aquarius people are on the quicker end of the spectrum, but their fixed nature gives them a thoroughness that makes them take a little more than the mutable air sign, Gemini. They love to use their minds. Games and puzzles intrigue them and they enjoy matching wits with anyone willing to partake in the challenge. In study and work, they are attracted to the sciences and any kind of humanitarian pursuit is extremely attractive to them. Mercury in Aquarius truly desires to help the world and every member of society. Their universal point of view is always obvious in their thinking.

Their manner of speaking can be a bit stiff. This can give the impression that they are offish, which cannot be further from the truth. Social people at heart, they truly enjoy conversation. They aren't "talkers" however. They don't enjoy idle chatter. Instead, they prefer topics with some depth that make people think and spur debate. They love to hear the opinions of other people, and they respect them, even if they know they have already made up their mind.
