The Mars, Uranus, Pluto t-square aspects my natal Mercury. I have a strong drive to think deeply but Uranus disrupts this process.
The process is disrupted by astrology (Uranus) as I am busy with consultations.My focus (Pluto) is on the other (Libra) and the other and it changes (Uranus) with each consultation.
I figure this will pass in a week and then I will be able to focus on Saturn in Scorpio. I am done writing about the transition into Scorpio from Libra and when I do get back to work, I will focused solely on what’s ahead.
This is exciting but I still have a desire to go digging. It’s like trying to study cards as they fly by. It’s irritating (Mars) because the cards are great and tasty and I just want to play ‘em, what can I say? My wrist is flared up too, it figures!
Do you ever feel a drive to contemplate something deeply? I do. In hindsight, I don’t think I valued or appreciated the slower, deeper times in my life as much as I should have. I guess I am lucky that I appreciated them at all.

lee, I am usually able to do this. That’s why I notice the disruption. I want to dive down but have to change channels instead.
I do think it’s interesting and I know it won’t last, at least not in this way so I’m trying to glean what I can. It’s like someone changing radio stations when you want to stick!
I’m frequently a deep thinker (although there are other times when I have no patience for it at all); other people recognize this (deep thinker) quickly about me. Some people tinker with projects; I tinker with thoughts.
Some topics (like astrology!) I understand pieces of but can’t blend/weave them all together very well. I’ll take a very newbie stab at the astrology of this (literally gathered from reports so I could post this!): Pluto in Virgo and Pisces Mercury in 8th. (I’ll order a Natal report soon and maybe you can tell me then-ha!)
Yes, I admire deep thinkers very much! I have the opposite problem – natal mercury-uranus – and am not a deep thinker by nature. Even with meditation and sitting down to write, my brain still tunes into random radio stations like you said, Elsa! The few times I’ve been absolutely locked-down and forced to think deeply, it was very painful for me, almost claustrophibia-inducing. 
This speaks to me. My natal Mercury is caught up in the T-square as well. I have Mercury in aspect to Pluto natally, so I am given to deep thinking.
There is no time for that sort of thing right now though…so much to do…
I wonder if there’s a contradiction between the deep Plutonic thinking and the fast flashforwards of inspiration from Uranus, as long as the thinking is properly grounded.. At the moment everything seems to change so much that what seemed right yesterday was totally right then, but might be totally outdated today.
Uranus is conjunct my mercury, and Pluto is conjunct my Saturn. When Saturn transits through my 4H I expect the bottom to drop out.

@starkttn – how interesting. 
My natal Mercury (in Pisces) is being triggered by Neptune instead of the T-square. My thoughts have been so colorful and imaginative, it’s tough for me to force them back to reality. In addition, I can’t seem to get enough music… I recently got earphones and I am loving the way I can fill my whole head with tunes! 
Good morning all
Oh I am so relating to this, with my merc having the pluto opp and uranus square on it. I have several times said out loud, for goodnes sake will you just keep stil!!!! needless to saay I am actually talking to my thoughts lol! and a bit of frustration because that pluto influence is sooo inspiring me to go deep at the same time. Its a real dark comedy in my head some days!
I personally have only found relief by sitting quietly and allowing the fast moving inspired thoughts to flow through at whatever speed they choose, no time to write it down, so happy for my personal recorder to catch it all as I say it out loud at top speed, never realised i was a fast talker lol!
whoops “claustrophobia” – see, I can’t even type it, LOL
Deep and quality thinking is something more people should be trained to do, or at least I wish I was taught more skills in this area. Naturally deep people are endlessly fascinating – love listening to them.
I was certain I’m a deep thinker right up until I read starkttn’s post. Now I don’t know. I have strong Merc/Pluto, but I also have Mercury sextile Uranus (and trine Mars in the 11th), plus my Mercury is in the not-so-deep 3rd house.
I am a deep person.I’m definitely quieter and more-serious minded than my peers, I’m interested in stuff they wouldn’t even consider. I also love solitude and reflection time.
Okay,okay. I’ve picked one. Yes, I like to dig deep.
Deep thinking is my natural element… having almost always lived alone (and my ex wasn’t very verbal or communicative anyway) I’ve usually had plenty of time to let my mind go as deep as it will – work schedule permitting.
I don’t have much time for superficial thinkers! If I’m with others, I like to get to the bottom of things, just as I do when I’m reading and researching
Mercury/Chiron on my IC, trine Moon, in a T-square 8th House Saturn and Uranus. It took me until I was almost 20 before I was able to tap the light-hearted, Uranian part of my brain.
I remember talking to my Dad about the Bible when I was 14 or 15 and bawling my eyes out because I couldn’t understand a certain passage. I NEEDED to access it. He laughed at me…then apologized but had to explain to me that people spend their entire life on spiritual pursuits and it was OKAY I didn’t understand.
For me it was a painful psychological process to see that deep didn’t have to immediately = dark. I tapped dark too easily for too long. I am happy to be a grown up and have a balanced mind. My dad definitely has been a spiritual and intellectual guiding light for me.
Funny, too: he posed for almost every photo in childhood as The Thinker, lol!

This is an interesting post. In my experience, the study of esoteric books or arts like astrology actually changes the mind of the student so that it slows down when presented with deeper material. Study of this type develops the inner sense which detects more accurately when a particular event requires deeper contemplation. Philosophers (I know several) will usually schedule a block of time for reflection prior to writing. Maybe it’s a signal that you must do the same periodically?
