It depends on the houses, and of course the relationship of the planets. Mercury associated with thoughts, interest, the mechanics of the mind including communication naturally would be at the root of either genius or a thought disorder. Saturn associated with delay, fixation, slowing processes would certainly be indicative of factors involving perseverance, slow resolution, or the rigidity involved in hyperfocus. Pluto, while slow, is more associated with death and rebirth, a fundamental core and unconscious transformation of epic and lifechanging proportions. When these planets form an adverse or harmonious alignment to Venus, then the matter involves socialization, the quality of one's interactions within the environment, including romance, but also objects in general, including personal or those found in nature. Saturn in a harmonious alignment with mercury is in general indicative of tremendous intellectual perseverance, literally, an investigative analytical ability. Now if Saturn is exalted or falling, ruler or in a detrimental position, it would be indicative of its persevering traits coming through either easily or with difficulty. Venus in relationship to both would thus indicate how this involves interactions with people, places and things. Jupiter in the mix would indicate it's magnitude, while Mars the quality of how it all moves together, either through disruption or construction (or both). The houses would indicate in which domains of life all these involve. Of course, following the L-rd's commands lends one the ability to transform all of these cosmic forces in ways that bridge body and soul, heaven and earth, as above so below. Blessings to all, Dr. S.
