Robert Hand's version of mercury trine uranus
Mercury‑Uranus Sextile Mercury‑Uranus Trine
In the harmonious aspects between Mercury and Uranus thinking is imaginative and independent but, even here, it is to some extent erratic. Wherever there is a chance to break fresh ground, this person works wonders, but it is not so easy to content with humdrum every day life. The latter is experienced as dull and irksome because it offer nothing new and creative or sufficiently original. In fact, in all Mercury‑Uranus aspects even in the harmonious ones‑ there are impractical who, although very gifted in a certain field, have little idea how to manage ordinary affairs. Their fellow citizens regard this type as eccentrics who live in a world of their own and want to go their own sweet way. Now, when the aspect is harmonious these others hardly raise a protest but just let them get on with it.
Any aspect between Uranus and Mercury will make the native inventive, so the combination has a lot of useful potential. But in the harmonious aspects especially this type must learn to persevere and carry projects to completion, because he or she suffers from a streak of laziness in spite of all the mental activity. So although what we have here should be an ideal position for original scientific research, Saturn will have to be strong in the chart for anything constructive to be done.
Often there is a keen interest in anything a bit unusual; an interest in certain fringe activities such as astrology, fortune‑telling or occultism, or in revolutionary creeds or utopias. The same sharp tongue and the same liability to overtax the brain are present as in the conjunction and the hard aspects, but not to the same degree.
