This is my attempt at matching a piece of the chart with subs to compliment strengths and weakness, there seems to be so much though to account for
Mercury
Mercury represents communication, Cartesian and logical spirit.
Mercury is in Aquarius
Not necessarily loud or flamboyant, but he often has a quiet way of stirring others up. May delight in exposing what he deems biases in others’ way of thinking. Very quick to contradict others and to offer a different perspective, he enjoys intellectual debates. Amazing powers of observation, and a quirky way of looking at the world. Humorous and interesting. Likes practical jokes and raising eyebrows. Very fair and objective.
Mercury in II: Mercury is in the second house
Intelligence geared toward ways to make money, become rich, or to be independent. All methods are good, sometimes he might be on the borderline of honesty. (Machiavellian
PCC/EOG/House of MEdici)
You have a very practical mind and intelligence, seeing the obvious, most logical answer to any predicament often before others. You don’t like to be put on the spot or pushed into talking or coming to a conclusion. Studies are similar–you need to work at your own steady pace. You can be quite one-track minded at times, not very happy with multi-tasking, and often quite fixed in your opinions. Sensual stimuli is more relevant to you than abstract concepts. (QL/BLU )
