From February 11th to March 2nd, Mercury, the planet of communication transits through the progressive, rebellious sign of Aquarius. Our perspectives take a shift and we are far more open-minded about what is unique and original. We will find that we do best when we think outside the box and use a more logical and objective approach to solving problems.
At times due to the influence of Aquarius’ ruler Uranus, it could feel as if our thought process is a bit erratic, but this allows us to tap into the inventive, visionary part of our minds that we often put to the side for more traditional, commonplace thinking. Let’s embrace the energy of being a genius as Mercury transits Aquarius for the next three weeks.
Thinking Like An Aquarius

Have you ever wondered how an Aquarius thinks? Well, over the next three weeks, we will all get an opportunity to get a taste of the mind of the Waterbearer. One of the benefits of Mercury in Aquarius is its willingness to go beyond the traditional to achieve leaps and bounds in its reality. Mercury in Aquarius understands that sometimes it’s necessary to think outside the box in order to come up with ideas and concepts that will get us to where we want to be. Plus, we are less likely to allow our emotions to cloud our thinking due to the Aquarius air influence.
The Original Thinker
If you feel like you’ve been stuck in a rut mentally, Mercury in Aquarius offers us the opportunity to shock ourselves into something different. While having a steady thought process is advantageous, it can also lead to being stuck in a rut mentally. These mental ruts often lead to an obstinate mindset that keeps us from being able to consider anything different than what we are used to. Under the energy of Mercury in Aquarius, we are encouraged to be daring and seek out perspectives and considerations that push the boundaries of our thought processes.
Thinking Logically & Objectively
Mercury in Aquarius offers the opportunity to process information in an objective manner. If you are the type of person that allows your emotions to get the best of you, Mercury in Aquarius provides insight that allows you to become more objective even when experiencing emotional peaks. This is the position of being able to separate ourselves from emotion so that we are able to process information from a logical yet futuristic perspective. If you’re considering something at this time, you may want to harness the energy of Mercury in Aquarius to help you implement technical logic for your benefit.
Back To The Future
Another great aspect of Mercury in Aquarius is that it helps us focus on the future. Differing greatly from Mercury in Cancer where the mind is often focused on the past, Mercury in Aquarius is all about what’s to come ahead. Because of this futuristic orientation, this energy allows us to come up with concepts that can be quite groundbreaking. In some ways, these futuristic thought patterns can be used to help us improve our lives personally and for the greater collective.
Becoming The Inventor
Mercury in Aquarius could be considered a genius because this energy is tapped into something that is far more electric and revolutionary than anyone could imagine. These are the type of thinkers that are considered to be light years ahead of everyone else because they always have a concept or theory that is considered far out. Because of the quirky, weird leanings of Mercury in Aquarius energy, if you’ve been trying to create something such as an invention or just anything that could potentially be shared with others, Mercury in Aquarius provides the opportunity to become an innovative inventor that has something quite progressive to offer to the public.
Some Mercury in Aquarius Precautions
Just as there are some aspects of Mercury in Aquarius that are brilliant, true to any zodiac energy, there are some precautionary energies to consider over the next three weeks as we move through Mercury in Aquarius.
Fixed Thinking
Although Mercury in Aquarius can be quite open-minded, it may surprise many that this placement can lead to fixed thinking. Even if we have progressive thoughts that push us forward, Mercury in Aquarius can make us falsely believe that our progressive mindsets are the end all be all…even though this is far from the case. Unfortunately, this fixed thinking can actually cancel out the open-mindedness that is one of the major benefits of the Mercury in Aquarius placement. So, just be aware of the tendency to be a bit rigid in thinking during this transit.
Progressive To A Fault
In addition to being fixed, the Mercury in Aquarius position also tends to be progressive to a fault. While it may seem that this progressive perspective is an asset that makes us open to perspectives and opinions that are different from our own, this is not always the case. It is possible to become so progressive in thought that when someone presents us with a more traditional consideration, we could shun it because it’s not as far-reaching as the Mercury in Aquarius energy would like it to be. Even if some of these progressive perspectives can be a bit taboo or borderline bizarre, we are likely to not want to take a more traditional perspective for fear that it will limit us in some way.
The Futuristic Know-It-All
Finally, because Mercury in Aquarius brings futuristic foresight, there could be a tendency to think that we already know it all. However, the idea that our futuristic thinking makes us experts on what is to come could be considered narrow-minded and exclusionary. So, under the energy of Mercury in Aquarius, we are cautioned to make space for perspectives other than our own even if these other perspectives aren’t as mentally stimulating and future-oriented as we would like.
Overall, the Mercury in Aquarius transit is an excellent position to truly embody the energy of thinking outside the box and harnessing our own ability to push beyond the status quo mentally. This is exceptional energy for solving problems due to objectivity and innovativeness as well as creating insights and concepts that could potentially create the initial mental sparks of something quite extraordinary in the future.
