The astro:
Are Uranus and/or Mercury aspects usually responsible for what we call a nerd personality? It seems logical to me and yet so rare is it that I read about them in this respect. Why and how? I'd like to take a look at both planets, but if you don't use modern planets, simply skip over the other one. Are all aspects of these planets able to add nerdiness to one's personality? What I was thinking was heavy Mercury in chart (maybe Uranus, especially if they make contact) = extremely logical, therefore naturally destined to contradict society, therefore logical habits and hobbies are likely.
You
Do you have any of these aspects you'd like to talk about? Do you think that there's more to it than just these two planets?
Why I ask
I've just entered a much, much more social season in my life and realised that two aspects may be related; in the last few years I've grown from being simply very tech-interested into being a complete nerd. I dread the giant social events on the calendar; they don't appeal to me. Ironically friends call me very social and friendly. In my astro, I've Mercury conjunct MC, both square Uranus, Uranus trines Sun. I really don't think the interpretations of those aspects that I've read have really touched on nerds at all though. My sister frequently laughs when I don't understand something and point out that I don't understand something that's not logical.
Info. that got me thinking:
