Ascendant Quincunx Mercury

You try hard to understand the people with whom you are involved. If you have to confront them in a challenging situation, you make a supreme effort to give them the benefit of the doubt. You tend to submit without resistance, assuming that others know more about themselves than you do. More often than not, however, your evaluation and conclusions about people are right, which may make them uncomfortable.

You want to win approbation as a sensible person with good reasoning ability and you are crushed when people do not take you seriously and dismiss you with the wave of a hand. You are serious about your continued development and growth. You are a "jack of all trades" and master of them as well, a good learner, and an equally good teacher. You never stop learning and you strive for excellence in everything you do. Although you work efficiently, you may talk too much on the job and annoy those working closest to you. You despise being constantly asked what you are doing and why. But you love it when someone needs your help in learning how to do something.

You do not know yourself as well as you know others. You worry over matters that cannot be changed, and if someone tries to draw you into a discussion of your shortcomings, you quickly divert the conversation to other topics. Your friends admire you for your talents, and your superiors realize that you have a sharp intellect. There are few questions you cannot answer, even though you may not have received a higher education. You like to indulge in nostalgic memories of days past, remembering them with good feelings. Keenly aware of the power of money, you have planned carefully for security in your later years. Pension plans and regular savings are as important to you as earning a living now. You should take frequent restful vacations to slow down and relax. You are easily keyed up by the pressure of your daily concerns, so you should get away from them periodically.

In love you might make a special effort to condense your messages to your lover and refrain from going on at length on any one subject. This may be hard at times, for you continually see new details that you want to talk about. However, a subject that seems to you to need elaboration may be an oft-heard tale to your partner. One way of getting around this problem without losing the quality of communication is to refrain from talking about a subject at all until you have thoroughly thought out all the details of what you are going to say. This will save you from either repeating or contradicting yourself. Also you will seem even more ingenious or insightful than you are, for you will be expressing a series of developing thoughts all distilled into one. In general you have an active mind that works 24 hours a day. You will be most compatible with a partner with a similar style or one who is tolerant of your flights of thought whenever they occur. At times you drive yourself too hard intellectually, and sometimes the best answer to a difficult problem of communication is to simply abandon it and do something that is relaxing to both of you.
