* Aspects with Mercury :-
The aspects with Mercury are a good indicator, not so much of the person’s level of intelligence (as some astrologers and astrology books would have us believe). but rather of the person’s ability to express and communicate. There are after all, some very intelligent quiet people who may not have a particularly energized Mercury. Aspects with Mercury show how the conscious mind is attuned and how one expresses and communicates the flow of thought. Mercury is also important as a significator of the ability to coordinate all mental and physical functions, and it is known to correspond to the nervous system in general. A study of many professional athletes has shown me that powerful Mercury aspects [especially conjunctions] are very common. and yet these people are by no means intellectuals! But their mind/body coordination is exceptional.
