Your mind is tuned to such a pitch that your intellectual tension is truly as fine as glass wire. Along these filaments travel all kinds of illuminated thoughts, some of them so strikingly original as to verge on what lesser mortals call genius. But, careful now: the harder they come the harder they fall!
Mercury rules the mental processes and the neuro-circuits of the brain, Uranus corresponds to the higher mind, the ‘sudden insight’ type of thinking. This aspect both links these two faculties and creates tension between them. As well as having the ‘genius’ ability you can also suffer from mental overload caused by the higher mind or thought processes running faster than the circuits of the brain can handle. Restlessness, irritability and a stressful head are all signs of this overload and are the brain’s way of saying SLOW DOWN. Relief can be found through rest, meditation and by taking supplementary doses of the vitamin B group.
You have a decidedly high-strung and nervous temperament and you find it difficult to relax. You get bored rather easily so you need lots of things going on at the same time. You enjoy travel as there is always something new to learn or think about. Your mind functions in an intuitive, non-linear fashion, and sudden insights and ideas often come to you “out of the blue”. You do well in open, unpredictable atmospheres where flexibility and quick responses are required. You are self-reliant and demand freedom of thought and expression at all times.
But, you have the tendency that if ideas do not fit in with your previously conceived pattern, then they are simply rejected. Your interest in knowing about everything can dissipate your mental focus and concentration. You tend to scatter your energies into too many directions at once and to make impulsive or hasty decisions. You jump from one thing to another without finishing what you’ve started. Your mind is rather antagonistic towards the ideas of others so that you have a tendency to disbelieve them out of hand. But, if your own mind comes to the same conclusion, then you find it totally believable. You usually like new ideas, but you don’t want them “preached” to you. Thus, it’s important for you to realize that others are not necessarily “preaching” to you when they present different viewpoints. Discipline yourself to stay with a subject long enough to master it. You may be carrying a chip around on your shoulder that is most unattractive. Let it go and become detached.
