What it means

Unexpected ideas come to you, and technology, science and the future are more interesting than the past. An authority's opinion is not an argument: everything gets tested. You talk about the unusual calmly.

The flip side is stubbornness about your own ideas and coldness in conversation; to others your ideas seem strange until they work.

This isn't about you if you gladly follow the generally accepted opinion and new technologies don't interest you.

How to check it on yourself

Check it against your past — write your answer down before you look at the chart.

  1. If your Mercury is in Aquarius

    What should match. Recall three of your opinions that people around you at first thought strange. At least one was later confirmed — and you had to defend it for a long time.

    When it’s not about you. You don't have strange opinions — this isn't about you.
