Mercury in Aquarius

Hi everyone 😆😆

Ha anyone got experience with this placement?

This placement seems to have the effect of not being able or being awkward at least...with expression. Expressing emotions.

So how would a person who has this placement express what they feel? Through "action" "doing" ...?

Thanks in advance ☺â¤
My bf has this placement. He's action oriented. He was very awkward with words of love, etc, but after time he has become used to it and now (after four years) it seems to come more naturally.

Mercury in Aquarius likes to break the rules when expressing themselves. While not really flamboyant, they do have a knack for stirring things up. They take great delight in exposing the biases of others. They are the first to contradict someone and give their own, very different perspective. They love intellectual debates. Quick and alert, they are very observant.



They are often detached and seem to have their own agenda. They can be intimidating to others because of their innate superiority complex. At the same time, Aquarius Mercury can be absolutely delightful to be around. They are interesting, quirky and insightful.

When it comes to learning, they have unusual study habits. They don't like schedules, but can be surprisingly organized, although their system may make no sense to anyone else. They like science and metaphysics, as well as anything that deals with mankind's progress or advancement. They have a well developed sense of humor and love practical jokes.

Mercury in Aquarius is often labeled eccentric. They love controversy and chaos, and have little respect for tradition. They are intuitive and can judge a person's character very accurately. They are fair minded and believe in equality and fair play. They are humanitarians and love to help those who are less fortunate than themselves. They are often involved in social reform.



Mercury in Aquarius is witty and open minded at times, but they can also be very stubborn. They often make good speakers or writers. They are often very original and their ideas may be ahead of their time. Ideas often just appear to them out of thin air. They are more loyal to concepts than they are to people. They may play the devil's advocate just to have a debate.

They can see the big picture, and will lay out the facts as needed. They prefer to explore the more outlandish and far reaching ideas. Science fiction isn't much of a leap for Mercury in Aquarius. Resourceful, they can use their powers for good or to drive others to distraction. They are usually well disciplined when it comes to intellectual pursuits. They are versatile, practical and somewhat revolutionary.

Very quick to contradict others, and to offer a different perspective, these natives enjoy intellectual debates. They’re very quick and alert, and their powers of observation are particularly strong. They usually “win†debates. In fact, they’re very interested in scoring intellectual points, which can be maddening to others at times!

Aquarius is an air sign, which is detached and intellectual by nature. It is also a fixed sign, so people born under Mercury in Aquarius often have an intellectual “agendaâ€.

These natives are often attracted to scientific and/or metaphysical pursuits. Anything that promises progress and advancement for mankind has special appeal. Their sense of humor is often well-developed and unique. Practical jokes and anything that shocks and stirs up others are especially appreciated by Mercury in Aquarius people.



I think according to these descriptions, they would intellectualize their feelings. It feels like my bf does.

Would anyone with this placement agree or disagree?
Hm okay cause my boyfriend has this placement and instead of using verbal expression with me if im upset or for whatever reason, he'll come and see me, hug me, try and cheer me up by "entertaining"...doing playful/silly things but he won't verbalize how/what hes feeling.

Just the last few days ive been a little sad and letting him see this (hes leaving our work place. Not seeing him on certain days just got to me a little) and tonight he asked if there was anything "special" I would like him too cook for me. Im not sure what he is trying to "say" with this gesture.
I have this and it's true that I have a hard time expressing myself verbally. I'm more action oriented myself. I'm good with words otherwise, but just not when it comes to confessions of love. LOL. I rather just write a card and call it a day.
I have this placement too and I absolutely love it. It makes me more the Aquarian I ought to be. smile
Got it and it were also retrograde in my natal, well when trying to express emotions I feel naked in a crowd or something but intellectualize feelings got damn master at it Tongue


But sure sometimes I just start to giggle in some eccentric manner when a friend seems a little down or just make a fool of myself kind of. And when I see them start to crack a smile at the little "milleh show" I usually go with some punchline to win them over from the sad mood they are in.

smiles are contagious you know ^_^ almost always work the aqua electricity is turned on I would guess Tongue


I have this smile mercury in Aquarius.

My actions are better than words. I expect the people that I love to understand that. Words are cheap...
Boyfriend and I have Mercuries conjunct in Aqua. We are both very communicative and affectionate with each other.
Sarcasm, I use lots of sarcasm.
