You made up your mind three words in. You have been right often enough to keep doing it.
What it looks like in a life
You interrupt. Not to be rude: you already saw where the sentence was going and your mouth moved. In meetings you say the thing nobody wanted to say first, and half the time the room needed it. You read the first two paragraphs and skip the rest. You learn by doing it wrong once, fast, rather than by studying it right. Arguments end quickly with you because you go straight at the point, and an hour later you are not holding it. Emails are three lines. Instructions get skimmed. When you are bored, your mind goes looking for a fight to sharpen itself on.
The gift
You decide. In a world of people waiting for more information, you move on what you have, and momentum solves problems that analysis only describes. You cut through a tangled conversation in one sentence. Your thinking is clean of politics: you say what you see, so people know where they stand and stop wasting each other's time. Fast is a real skill. Most charts have to build it.
The friction
Speed and accuracy are not the same thing, and you have defended a half-formed opinion for a week because you already said it out loud. You skip the instructions, then pay twice. You mistake the first clear idea for the best one. A mind this quick reads a slow speaker as a weak one, so you talk over the person who was about to hand you the detail that would have saved you.
The esoteric layer
In the Hellenistic system Mercury has no dignity in Aries. It is a guest in a Mars sign, which is why the mind here moves like a weapon instead of a filing cabinet. Bailey's esoteric astrology reverses the picture and makes Mercury the soul ruler of Aries: the first flash of divine intent striking the plane of mind. The soul keynote is "I come forth, and from the plane of mind, I rule." Read that way, your impulse is not a flaw in the thinking. It is the thinking, arriving before you can slow it down.
Where this goes
The house your Mercury sits in says what this speed is aimed at, and contact from Saturn or Jupiter says whether it gets built or blown out. Learning to read that chain yourself is what a teaching session is for.
