Her Venus and Saturn are in mutual reception though (via domicile - very strong), which is nice. That does lessen the negative effects of that square aspect. Planets in mutual reception are better at working together and dealing with their issues.

sorry for the confusion, i forgot to mention that my chart was posted!

i like your recommendation below. it doesn't sound crazy, i have actually been entertaining this idea lately, sounds like a fun experiment :)

"This probably sounds crazy, but I would recommend just blurting stuff out for a while, even if it seems random. Let Pluto do the break out work for you and see where he takes you. What have you got to lose, really?"

my mom has Pluto in Leo in 3rd, and she had history of not talking much. She doesn't have speech problems though she told me that she was afraid of something stupid. She also told me that she has a lot of neuro-divergent traits when I showed her a list about them that were originated from Dr. Harold N. Levinson.

my mom has an exact Mercury parallel Pluto to add to that too.
she has Sun-Mercury-Venus-Jupiter-Uranus-Pluto-Ascendant in declinations

she is an intense communicator too.

she doesn't really have any hard Saturn connections


also my father didn't have any hard aspects to his Mercury either,and so I have doubts about traditional Astrology stuff. I feel that there needs to be more exploration about neurological/learning differences/speech problems in Astrology.

he had Sun-Mercury in Capricorn trine stationary Saturn-stationary Jupiter in Taurus

my maternal uncle Eddie had speech problems that included stuttering too,and he had Mercury in Virgo trine Saturn

also speech problems can be issue connected to the overemphasizing the right hemisphere. It can be connected to the mind thinking mainly in pictures instead of words. Therefore, I wouldn't just focus on Saturn aspects in connection to 3rd house and Mercury. That's something that many neurotypicals would do. I'd like at aspects involving the outer planets and the transneptunians.

even in COSI, Mercury = Sun/Neptune has one of its interpretations, speech defects. I happen to have Mercury conjunct Sun/Neptune midpoint myself. Because my Sun is almost exactly conjunct Ixion, I have Mercury conjunct Neptune/Ixion midpoint too. That's like Mercury conjunct Neptune/Pluto midpoint.

my neuro-psychologist said the following in my test report

"Persons with strong visual skills who lack comparable verbal facility can often be frustrated because they have difficulty communicating their ideas in a highly verbal society"

that is definitely true for me. When I was a little kid, I couldn't think in words at all. I had to be taught to think in words and led to me be competent with language. Without it, I was autistic-like.


so speech problems aren't necessarily connected to weak left hemisphere.
It can be connected to an overly strong right hemisphere that interferes with left hemisphere processing.

"You're a social phobic with libra placements? Interesting. I know leo can tend towards needing to be comfortable sometimes to open up but I've never seen libra placements in relation to social phobia. What conjunctions and/or oppositions do you have to the inner planets and do you have for instance alot of squares?"

Feel free to take a look at my chart - it's in my profile. And Yes, that's really just code for, "I'm too lazy to type out all those placements one by one".

Chart is posted.

"IF Venus in Capricorn is a huge for this kind of shyness. You may be able to get up in front of a crowd and sing but as for small talk ot social setting arge unless you go on a nature hike or something."

It's interesting that you say this because I know someone who was in theater in his younger years who cannot stand social situations (he's a hermit). He's definitely a Venus in Capricorn, and I always bugged him about his Capricorny ways.

Yep, ?, what you noted does make sense to this venus in capricorn, moon in virgo, and etc.

Sometimes people post their charts in their profile photos rather than in the astro. tribe.

Interesting. While our charts are significantly different, we share some placements and aspects, Blue.

Blue!

I find that if one has strong virgoan (sun, moon or rising), there is always a hidden aspect with them. Like a typical Mercurial person, they are communicative and social but seldom indulge in their personal details.

Your Saturn/Asc square sure sounds like it can create feelings of awkwardness in how you seem to present yourself to the world too. Is your Saturn at the top or bottom half of the chart (thinking it's in the lower hemisphere)?

It seems that your venus aspects to Uranus and Pluto may well be the friction of introverted and extroverted tendencies! Sometimes it's great to go out and have fun without prohibitions. Sometimes it just takes too much effort. Yeah venus in cancer can be shy :)

Sometimes themes repeat themselves in different ways through a chart - at those times the effect of that theme tends to come out pretty strong.

I looked at your midpoints involving Mercury.

that's what Cosmobiologists,Uranian Astrologers do.

looking at your Mercury:
conjuncts Mars with 45 minutes of arc, and that indicates an active mind. not only that...Your Mercury parallels Mars with 34 minutes of arc. so suggests the mind being more active. That's a Mercury-Mars occultation.

squares Jupiter/Neptune midpoint with 28 minutes of arc, and that indicates a mind with an expansive imagination,visualization.....it seems like there is the ability to think in pictures and visualize things. that can indicate possible of nonlinear type thinking but also can be good about seeing the big picture. It can indicate mental sensitivity.

squares Saturn/Neptune midpoint with 47 minutes of arc, and this is the main midpoint that is associated with chronic health issues. It can indicate the possibility of problems with the nervous system. It can indicate the possibility of inhibitions,insecurity,shyness,fear,phobia in communications. It can also indicate that the mind has a structured imagination. It can be a mind that combine linear and nonlinear thought processes. It can indicate mental sensitivity.
I have something similar as you for I have Saturn contraparallel Mercury-Neptune.

square Sun/Ascendant midpoint with 57 minutes of arc, and this can indicate the thought processes are connected to expressing yourself with others and in relationships. How this manifest depends on other aspects which I have already went over.


you also have your Mercury conjunct Uranus/Sedna midpoint with only 1 minute of arc. That would indicate that your mind is innovative,nonconformist,otherworldly. It can be a mind that feels overactive but very spacy. Sedna is named after the Inuit Goddess of the Sea and Underworld,and she has similarities with Neptune and Pluto. there can be much depth,sensitivity in your thought processes.
I have something similar. I have Uranus oppose Mercury/Sedna midpoint with 17 minutes of arc.


Your Midheaven oppose Moon/Mercury midpoint with 20 minutes of arc,and that indicates the aim of life,the inner being,"The I" is connection with the integration of the emotional and mental processes.

what's interesting is that your Midheaven oppose Venus/Saturn midpoint with 26 minutes of arc, and this could indicate the aim of life,inner being,"The I" is connection with being socially reserved

so you actually have what's called a planetary picture with your Moon/Mercury midpoint conjunct your Venus/Saturn midpoint. That's very relevant in Hamburg School/Uranian Astrology. Creator of Kepler Astrology Software, David Cochrane calls them isosceles trapezoids.
cosmic.patterns.com/ArabicParts.htm

Your Midheaven opposes that,and so that makes it relevant in Cosmobiology and other astrological systems that use midpoint pictures.

You also have Midheaven oppose Venus/Jupiter midpoint with 8 minutes of arc, and this is mainly good for being social and having relationships...expansion in relationships in combination with your aim of life,inner being,"The I"

You also have Midheaven oppose Moon/Mars midpoint with 1 minute of arc, and this indicates that the aim of life,inner being,"The I" is connected to the integration of the emotional nature and assertion, passionate feelings.

so you actually have a multiple planetary picture of Midheaven = Moon/Mercury = Venus/Jupiter = Venus/Saturn = Moon/Mars

You have Node oppose Sun/Mercury midpoint with 33 minutes of arc, and this is mainly about associations,connections that involve the integration of self expression and communications

You have Node oppose Pluto/Midheaven midpoint with 10 minutes of arc, and this is about associations,connections that involve the integration of intensity,power,transformation and the aim of life,inner being, "The I"

You have Node oppose Sun/Mars midpoint with 11 minutes of arc,and this is about associations,connections that involve the integration of self expression and assertion, passionate self expression, a lot of energy

so you actually have a multiple planetary picture of Node = Sun/Mercury = Pluto/Midheaven = Sun/Mars

your Node also square Moon/Venus midpoint with 10 minutes of arc,and this indicates that associations,connections involve the integration of the emotional nature and aesthetics as well as affectionate feelings. seems good for relationships. it's a nice one to have

so you actually have Node = Sun/Mercury = Pluto/Midheaven = Sun/Mars


Cosmobiologists,Uranian Astrologers,and other midpoint astrologers look at semisquares and sesquiquadrates, but I am not going to look at them. The direct midpoint pictures (conjunctions,oppositions) and the squares seem to show a good picture.


on a hunch, I checked to see if your Mercury is in aspect to one of the large transneptunian objects (dwarf planets or dwarf planet candidates)

Your Mercury square Ixion in 15'31 Scorpio with 2'03 orb
Ixion is a plutino. that means that it has 2:3 orbital resonance with Neptune just like Pluto. that's why it was named after an underworld character by astronomers. therefore, your aspect is like Mercury square Pluto. It can intensity,transformation,depth involving the mind. evolutionary intensified lessons,experiences involving communications

according to astronomically oriented astrologer Philip Sedgwick:

Positive - understands karmic wheel, gives and uses a second chance, discerning

Negative - lustful, inconsiderate, inclined to repeat errors, learns nothing from experience



Your Mercury square Quaoar in 14'47 Scorpio with 2'47 orb.
it's named after the Tongva Native American creation deity. It is said to be connected to creativity,inspiration. being a transneptunian, it's metaphysically oriented and has to do with evolutionary intensified lessons,experiences involving communications

according to astronomically oriented astrologer,Philip Sedgwick:

Positive - creative, inspiring, possibility oriented, uplifts sagging emotion, strong sense of self

Negative - doom saying, prophet of Armageddon, controls others with fear


www.philipsedgwick.com/

interestingly, I have something similar to you. I have my Sun-Ixion-Quaoar conjunction in 3rd house. so my Ixion,Quaoar are involved in my communications just like yours is with your Mercury square Ixion-Quaoar conjunction.

the average travel rate of your Mercury is 1'37 and,and so you have fast Mercury. that can indicate quick thinking,rapid thought processes
I have a fast Mercury too with it being 1'30

Your Mercury is in 17'34 Aquarius and your Sun is in 3'03 Aquarius. clockwise, your Mercury is behind the Sun. That indicates that you have an Epimethean mind which means that you are deliberate in communications. It means that you gather up your information before you communicate it to others. I am the same way with my Mercury in 18'21 Scorpio behind my Sun in 5'20 Scorpio.

more about the Epimethean,Promethean Mercury stuff here
www.khaldea.com/planets/merc_ed.shtml


with your Moon having a travel speed of 12'38, it's slow because it's slower than the average which is 13'10

Deliberate: Mercury behind the Sun and Slow Moon The native receives and processes information deliberately and slowly.

I also looked at the planetary nodes in your chart

heliocentric Mercury Nodes in 18'06 Taurus/Scorpio
heliocentric Mars Nodes in 19'24 Taurus/Scorpio
Mercury in 18'34 Aquarius

the Mercury square heliocentric Mars and Mercury Nodes can indicate a highly active nervous system

I am the same way with
heliocentric Mercury Nodes in 18'00 Taurus/Scorpio
heliocentric Mars Nodes in 19'20 Taurus/Scorpio

so I have Mercury oppose/conjunct heliocentric Mars and Mercury Nodes to indicate a highly active nervous system


even your heliocentric chart shows possible communication issues

Your Mercury in 2'19 Aries
oppose Saturn in 4'19 Libra
oppose Jupiter in 0'46 Libra

but it trines Earth in 3'03 Leo
so there is some ease too, really nice aspect

please feel free to ask questions

"Luis...
Jim Carrey has Venus in Capricorn....
perhapse thats why he relies on his gemini moon and mercury aquarius to compensate?... "

See, thats the thing, i basically dont have any extrovert sign placement in my chart, except for my sun in aquarius, all planets are located in shy signs (Capricorn, Scorpio, Taurus). And the moon conjunct pluto 0° orb in scorpio does seem to overkill, so trying to rely on something else is difficult (but not impossible), since every thing i do will be heavily colored by a Cappy influence and maybe some Scorp dashes.

my venus in 1st DEFINITELY helps. im charming in my own way and can be delightfully sarcastic (if one could say i can rely on *some* thing id say these) but, honestly, im not a light individual. i can chill out and joke as much as i want BUT i always need to get serious and down to work later on.

im not a social phobic, really, but i do feel awkward in large gatherings, and i particularly dont like loud crowds (so concerts? thats a no-no), blame venus and taurus for my sissy nature i guess. i totally prefer more intimate or private meetings, going from 2 to 4 or 5 people. thats just bliss and i can shine through as much as a sun in the 1st would do. but get more and more people into the mix and i tend to withdraw.

so, in my experience, the main indicators for shyness are:

- ASC
- moon placement
- venus placement

(and it can be especially enhanced when afflicted by any of the malefics... which are basically every planet except sun, moon, jupiter and venus).

IDK i guess i like my venus in capricorn, superiors almost always immediately like me for no apparent reason and i usually get favors from them. BUT i just wish chilling out and relaxing and just playing around could be easier.
