Kirks Championships : Boxing Prediction League : 2018

Alright check this out! There's a staggering number of people on here with Pisces In Mercury. @drenlou, @Serge, @Kevin Willis, Rummy... I believe. And also myself and @Bustajay. But here's the catch...

Dren, Kev, Rummy, Serge and @lepinthehood are all ACTUAL Pisces, so they naturally communicate like a Pisces anyway.

Whereas Bustajay and Myself, we're both ARIES with Pisces Mercury, so we primarily communicate like an Aries, with a lot of Pisces Mixed In.

So read this... doesn't Serge, Dren, Kev, @lepinthehood and Rummy communicate like Pisces?

Doesn't Jay and I CST80, communicate like a combo of both Aries and Pisces. This is something you can all actually tell about us.


Read these two descriptions, do you see what I see?

_____________________________________________________________________________________________
ARIES
Those with Mercury in Aries have zero filters and a highly physical mercurial delivery. They pack a punch!

Hard-hitting, edgy, brilliant are words to describe you. But so are abrasive, pushy and brash. The fighter in Aries makes this Mercury one that does battle for their ideas or perspective. The Aries "I am" ego is wed to perception, and they identify with them in a big way.

So an attack on their thinking can be experienced as a personal attack.

I've known Mercury Aries to go into fight mode quickly if they're challenged, and some never admit they're wrong.

Guys and gals with this Mercury get fired up when an inspired idea hits. There's a physical aspect to their mercurial style -- they literally get up in your face and are wildly animated. Their faces could also get flushed.

The dark side of (mercurial) Aries is letting loose speech that's cutting and mean-spirited.

Take note that Mercury travels close to the Sun -- many have the same Sun and Mercury signs. So often, when Mercury is in Aries, so is the Sun! That makes it a powerful time for you, to hatch new plans.

Mercury Arians dazzle others by intuitively hitting on the essentials of a situation. They speak in a direct style that leaves the prolonged mulling over to others.

They tell it like it is, and sometimes their honesty is brutal. They are forthright, so others don't have to read between the lines.

You know exactly where you stand with Mercury Aries people -- and this is the basis of real, albeit starkly honest connections.

Looking around, they are surprised to see mouths hitting the floor, at their candor. And there can be a big backlash. So dealing with the blowback from your forceful style is a challenge.

Over time, you learn to strike when the iron is hot -- and that's an apt metaphor!

If they have a peccadillo, it's not seeing the subtleties. You're crazy impulsive, and carry a sense of momentum to set it in motion. This makes them dynamic leaders who walk their talk and inspire others to act.

And yet, a mercurial Aries sort may realize too late, that they've offended half the room, and missed nuances, like the emotional or psychic aspects. They also quickly move on, especially if the enthusiasm wanes. They start much, making them top initiators.

High Beams
Their mind is like a high-powered flashlight, with a concentrated focus. They're always seeking that breakthrough moment when a brilliant notion captures their interest. Theirs is a mind hungry for stimulation and vigorous exchange.

That need for verbal sparring can make them confrontational, always escalating conversations into arguments. They provoke others through language, and at extremes can be ruthless in their teasing. And yet no one can accuse them of mental sloth! They're invigorating to be around, even if at times, their need to make sparks is exhausting to other kinds of thinkers.

The need to be brilliant and "win" debates means they encounter others as adversaries, even those they love.

If this is not kept under control, they become insufferable "know-it-alls." They're restless and grow visibly frustrated when faced with delays. This Mercury also grows impatient with those they consider dim-witted, which from their estimation, is a huge swath of the population. They love mental challenges that involve strategy and competition, like chess.

Brilliant Me
This Mercury's opinions and observations are creations of a self-centered mind. Being centered in the self is why they speak with such astonishing originality.

They can be defensive if challenged because they are their thoughts. As forceful communicators, they are known to "ram" their ideas down others throats. But more often, their confident style infuses a stagnant atmosphere with new life. The fired up way they describe things is contagious, and soon others are alive with ideas, too.

The originality of Mercury in Aries makes them stand out in their fields. A concept they've hatched might take on a life of its own, and be an idea that others rally around. Chances are, they've got a few followers that hang on their every word. Their gift is sudden illumination, and it often startles others.

Their challenge is to grow patient with the details and to stick with projects through the tedious bits. They're a genius at starting little fires, and quickly moving on to the next big thing. They are rarely bored since there's always something new to discover.

Mercury Themes
sharp, focused, bright, competitive, daring, decisive, innovative, quick-witted, originality

Mercurial Shadow
harsh, insensitive, brusque, dismissive, defensive, combative, intellectual arrogance

 

PISCES
In Pisces, Mercury sees life more like an impressionistic painting than one done in the realistic style.

Sounds, images, shapes, memory, psychic impressions, emotional tones - all these are absorbed as part of an overall perception. Mercury in Pisces picks up on subtleties in the atmosphere that others might not pick up. Their outlook is dreamy, and often they appear tuned in to some distant message or inner vision.

Does Mercury Pisces make one more vulnerable to being car sick or have dizzy spells? I wondered this when Mercury was in Pisces recently, as I observed many around me having this experience.

I've also noticed heightened psychic abilities in myself at this time, and experiences, like picking up ghostly voices and seeing faces. Some of you with this Mercury might have that On all the time, and pick up subtle perceptions that others simply can't.

You have eerie links to others, even when you haven't seen them in years. The Mercury Pisces person has vivid dreams, where they meet with friends and those who've passed over. Planets in Pisces generally have this quality, and Mercury is the messenger, so it's about all kinds of messages, from the worldly to the otherworldly.

Making Sense

In Pisces, the mind is directed by the emotions and imaginative impressions, more than by logic. This is a water sign Mercury, making it one that spirals and talks in voluptuous circles, rather than a straight line.

But that's okay, because you often say things that shed light on something that nobody else can.

This Mercury is very sensitive to the environment, and is easily jarred by loud noises and the psychic static of crowds. Your mind is the ultimate psychic sponge, which is both a gift and a challenge. You need lots of time to reflect and unwind your thoughts, and create space to 'listen' to your own rich inner narrative.

The shadow side of this is the danger of self-deception. You can believe things that are true in your mind, and this can lead to lying. Your imagination is so strong, that it might seem real, but only be something self-created.

This gets you in trouble in relationships, when you react against what you think the other is doing - or not doing. You can be evasive in your communication, to the point where others don't trust you.

The Arts / The Dark Arts
Mercury in Pisces has a naturally artistic outlook, and is often drawn to music, theatre, visual arts, filmmaking or photography. It's a mind able to dwell fully in the imagination, and bring those visions to life in their work. There's a healing aspect to what you share, and it strikes others as divinely inspired.

This Mercury has a gentle touch socially, as well, and is often a bridge between people. You have an innate trust and readily accept what others say, and therefore can be led astray by manipulators and con artists.

A key word here is discrimination, and being aware of the dark arts, too. Such an emotionally-driven Mercury has to guard against being pulled by the heart strings to dark places. Developing the ability to discern truth from illusion, and to add logic to decision-making is sometimes a lifelong task.

Mercury in Pisces has gifts to share that elevate the experience of life to something transcendent. Yours is a vulnerably sensitive mind, one that often seeks refuge in fantasy and "checking out" somehow (like television or drugs). When lost, this Mercury struggles with fuzzy thinking, unable to handle the details of life. They gain confidence when they find creative self-expression, and release all that's absorbed back into the world.

You might lament being so sensitive, and I've known many who wish they weren't such feelers. You also sense the undercurrents, as if there's a running narrative of what's not being said. That's confusing, but over time, you can turn it into a gift, instead of a curse.

One of the best ways to do this is through the arts, since that's a pursuit of finding meaning in the vast ocean of experience and ideas.
