I believe that Neptune is the problem of your father...

Mercury is so neutral, alot is going to depend on the sign positions of both Mercury and Jupiter.
I have a Mercury/Jupiter square.
I think it gives me a tendency to exaggerate.
Details and big picture thinking are often at odds.

I think Mercury in water signs are extremely irrational because they place more value through emotions instead of logic so they are inherently biased. Scorpio in particular is too stubborn for its own good because of their fixed nature and will not admit they are wrong no matter how much evidence you have that contradicts what they believe in.

Yeah he sort of has this tendency too but it`s in weird kind of way like he will obsess about all the things that are wrong with his health, not doing anything about it, then forget about the issue and obsess about something else. Quite the character lol
But it`s worth mentioning he also has Moon in Gemini conjunct Mars, opposing Neptune, so yeah there`s more than one thing to it.

I don`t consider myself intelligent. I have some gifts but nothing worth mentioning, i have more right brain abstract thinking.
I grew up in a very poor town, now it`s actually nice comparing to the way it was 15 years ago.

The conflict between which I prefer illustrates my moon in Aquarius, Venus in Taurus square pretty well I think

I like people from the countryside or small towns. Seriously I do. "Average Jane" is better than "Mega City Girl".
Good luck in finding your Average Joe or City Man. You´re smart, as I see you.

I definitely used to be kind of paranoid about health related issues...

I´m very intelligent and have interests and talents here and there. I just struggle with low self-esteem (regarding personality and qualities) which keeps me from using my full potential...
Idk about my chart but professionals tested my IQ: 125, would be higher if I knew how to do maths...
I do act dumber than I am... Because reasons...

=====
Yes of course Mercury in Virgo is great, like i said there`s too much to remember.
I never took any kind of IQ tests. In my country nobody cared about such things, at least not in my generation of post communism. I`m from the country side

I have a friend with Pluto and Uranus involved with his Mercury in the 6th house, all in the same sign loosely conjunct. Very smart but unfortunately with a touch of paranoia. So these can be very good aspects but it can create some mental issues too if other configurations are suggesting it.
It`s the mad genius effect.

You have Gemini-loving bias. What about Mercury in Virgo?
Maybe it will surprise, but my EQ was in highest class when I took the test as adult, while my IQ was superior, but far from a genius, and I think it may decreased to the downside further since then. What about you, Olenna? Did you ever tried it?

September 30, 2019 at 14:16

Yeah there is...
Mercury/Uranus/Pluto for example... The evil genius...

Haha... Not in all cases obviously... But if I knew an evil genius I might look for some aspects between Mercury, Pluto and Uranus
Oh shit...I have aspects between Mercury, Uranus and Pluto..

Yeah that`s why i put that disclaimer there about left brain/academic type of intelligence.
Just to be clear a person with Mercury in Pisces won`t be ´´stupid´´, other major things can influence that, everything has to be considered, if it`s badly afflicted in other ways.
Yes Mercury/Moon i forgot to mention, and i have this conjunction

All of those you mentioned are valid. There is so many combinations it`s impossible to remember them all.

This is the kicker isn´t it?
This is off-topic, but intellectual intelligence is highly overvalued in our society.
A Mercury in Pisces person may have a lower IQ (maybe, not definitely) but I´d think they´d be inclined to "know" more on an intuitive level, than if Mercury were in a more "rational" sign such as Gemini or Virgo.
Granted, classic Mercury-type functioning could be impaired in a Mercury in Pisces person though...
Getting back to the different types of intelligence...
Mercury/moon could give good emotional intelligence
Mercury/Venus good artistic intelligence
Mercury/Mars good mechanical intelligence
Add Uranus and maybe Neptune into the mix and you could replace the word intelligence with genius...

=====
Mercury in Gemini, with good aspects from Uranus, Pluto, Saturn conjunctions are good too. Mercury in houses that give it strength like 3rd, 11th, 1st, 6th. Mercury in good aspects to Jupiter. Well placed Jupiter.
Uranus in good aspects and placements. These are some that indicate higher IQ.
Lower IQ can be seen from poorly placed Mercury like in Pisces in a detrimental house with oppositions from Neptune, Pluto and sometimes Saturn. These are just some general observations. I used Mercury as in a type of IQ left brain academic kind. There are several types of intelligence.
