♈♉♊♋♌♍♎♏♐♑♒♓☿
Mercury in Aquarius: the planet’s glyph in the thirty degrees of Aquarius.

Meaning

Saturn’s fixed air, which modern astrologers also give to Uranus, lends Mercury both rigour and invention. Its signature is a mind at home with systems and principles, often a step ahead of its time.

With Mercury in Aquarius, thinking is original, logical and often ahead of the group. You like systems, technology and ideas that challenge the usual way of doing things, and you can spot a pattern others miss. In discussion you may defend a principle stubbornly even when the room is against you. The pitfall is dismissing feelings as irrelevant data; asking how an idea affects the people involved makes it easier for them to adopt.
