Mercury - Uranus Aspects: Conjunct Sextile Trine Square Opposition

Mercury conjunct Uranus
You get a new idea every minute and have difficulty waiting to express it. You are truly innovative and original in your thought process. While you are nervous, you do have good mechanical aptitude. If you can get control of your hands and mind, you can be quite inventive. You have a love for technical subjects and do your best work while blazing new trails on the frontiers of knowledge. Most of your difficulties stem from situations that require you to be regular, ordinary, and consistent, conforming to everyone else's procedures. Unfortunately for you, a certain amount of traditional training is necessary or no one will understand how good your ideas really are. You have a flood of New Age information in you. You need to find a way to express it. -- Interpretation from the Indra Report.

Alternate interpretation: An independent and original thinker, you are excited by new ideas, discoveries, and innovations. Your mind functions in an intuitive, nonlinear fashion, and sudden insights and ideas often come to you "out of the blue". You grasp ideas very quickly and often become impatient with those who are slower or more cautious than yourself. You are considered rather eccentric and unusual in your interests by more conservative minds. You do well in an open, unpredictable atmosphere where flexibility and quick responses are needed. You have an aptitude for science, mathematics, electronics, or astrology.

Mercury square or opposition Uranus
Your mind is always alert and active. Your thoughts and ideas are atypical and eccentric and you rebel against impositions or limits to your freedom. You are nervous, restless, somewhat arrogant and very particular in your tastes and choices. Your opinions are unprejudiced and you are not afraid to voice them. It is probable that you have difficulty concentrating on one subject for too long. Your restless mind impels you towards continuous change and movement with the consequent danger of leaving things unfinished. You like to challenge the ideas of others and you show a lot of ingenuity and intelligence in doing so. You must learn to relax more to avoid suffering from nervous exhaustion. --Interpretation from the Adult report.

Alternate interpretation: You are an original thinker, capable of unique discoveries and innovations, but you tend to scatter your energies into too many directions at once and to make impulsive or hasty decisions. You grasp ideas very quickly and become impatient with duller or more conservative minds. A fast-moving, mentally stimulating, and unpredictable atmosphere suits you quite well, even though you may complain about the stress and the crazy pace. You have a technical bent and are interested in the newest scientific theories and findings, electronics, computers, etc.

You are very eloquent and a bit dramatic in expressing yourself. Also, you are very intuitive, which leads you to comprehend things more deeply.

The trine aspect is the more dynamic of the two harmonious aspects. Those with the sextile can call upon these traits when needed, and those with the trine between the Mercury and Uranus have incorporated the traits of the aspect into their personalities, expressing them naturally and consistently.

Alternate interpretation: Independent and free-thinking, you dislike being told what to do and how to do it, and you especially do not like being told how to think, for you insist on discovering your own truth. You do well in a rather unstructured environment that allows you to make your own decisions and to respond to the needs of the moment, rather than following a routine, standardized way of doing things. You are also suited to a fast-paced atmosphere, which you find exciting and stimulating. Your mind functions in an intuitive, nonlinear fashion and sudden insights and flashes of inspiration often come to you "out of the blue". You have an aptitude for science and new technologies especially interest you. You also have a penchant for astrology or other esoteric sciences.
