In doing all of this it creates complex associative patterns that assist it in filing and retrieving and using all of the information it takes in and retains.
In the above statement you speak about short term and long term memories. Would this planet and it's positioning and direction be any indicative of ADD (Attention Deficit Disorder)? I'm thinking within the "speed" that Mercury is in at birth....and the distance from the Sun....(I'm referring to a chart where there has been a diagnosis of ADHD.).....Although, the motion is in the "norm" speed as per what you've indicated. The Sun is ahead and there is more than 10 degrees between them. But then, logically.....because ADD indicates that the mind works quite rapidly and that the person is three steps ahead of themselves so to speak and can not slow the mind enough to keep the long term memory and often short term memory....you would think that the speed within their birth chart would be rapid......no? or perhaps this isn't relevant at all....I just found it interesting that this planet works with the long term and short term memory and how we access this information and go over it....it brought this disorder to mind.
