Pisces rules your 4th house, only Capricorn and Aquarius have influence over your 3rd house. Saturn is strong in your chart, and in Pisces it weakens your 3rd house, so that's definitely a big part of the problem.
If Saturn squares your ascendant, then the case is pretty much solved.
I don't know much about meditations to counteract this, but I guess the Mercury square would do more for you, as Saturn's square can actually make things worse. If Saturn is already so prominent, I wouldn't mess with that square, at least not for now.
The Mercury square is huge, though. A better and probably longer lasting solution would be meditating directly on the chakras, especially the throat and the base. If you're feeling "empty" and/or lethargic, empowering the solar chakra may help a lot as it provides much energy to the entire system. When you get consistent results, you can do the Mercury square for a definitive change.
Just my thoughts, though, as I'm really inexperienced with meditation.

This post was very helpful. I'm getting closer!
If Capricorn co-rules my 3rd house does it mean Pisces co-rules my 3rd house too? Or is it just the beginning of the cusp?
No revealing aspect between Uranus and Mercury.
I may write well, but my learning process is extremely poor. Trust me when I say this. I did'nt know this since a while ago. You know, it's like seeing bad, you don't really know you see bad untill you comparison with others. I would do void meditation but thoughts didn't come up in my mind. I simply could not concentrate for more than 5 seconds without losing it. When I think of it, I do not think. At all. My brain is pretty much dead.
Indeed I have Saturn in Pisces, within the 4th house. I put alot of emphasis on Saturn since I have 3 planets in Capricorn (they conjunct each other, called Stellium I think) and Mars exact conjunct the 10th house cusp of Virgo (which you already know about).
I even have Saturn quite prominent, conjunct the 4th house cusp.
I thought about doing Mercury Square, but now I'm thinking of doing Saturn's. What is your opinion?

Well, everything indicates it is. Not only the signs are intercepted, but Mercury as well, since it's in Aquarius. Mercury is exalted in Aquarius, but it is known to cause disruptive thought patterns and early schooling situations. Traditional learning processes usually don't work in this case.
With these signs intercepted it means that Capricorn co-rules your 3rd house, and that may cause problems, since it's ruled by Saturn. Count in the placement of Saturn, any aspects between Uranus and Mercury, and you may find out more details about the issue.
That's all definitely related to the problem, but I myself would never guess it could cause so much trouble. You write exceptionally well for someone with trouble learning and processing information.
If I remember well, you have Saturn in Pisces like me, so you must be around my age. We are very young, so if you feel this will cause serious trouble in your plans for the future, it's extremely important that you understand what is happening right now, so that you can work on it. I'm sure your problem can be solved if you work on it, either with meditation/re-writing your thought processes and/or persistently training to get better.

Okay I'm fairly sure that the whole learning, thinking process, manual dexterity and anything related to the 3rd house is having problems in my chart. I didn't drop it and I kept learning my chart and search for bad degrees and other problems but couldn't find the cause. Which lead me to Mars and Mercury again.
Something I didn't mention is my Aquarius and Leo signs being intercepted. Meaning the 3rd house and the 9th house are intercepted. I totally overlooked it as I thought it cannot be the cause, but I don't know where to look anymore.
My thinking process is flawed, this is for sure. I need to read your posts and others like 3 times to begin to understand. Early school was a pain in the ass. Also I have noticed changes in my quickness and general manual dexterity. Some days I was quick and alert regarding my hands and some other days I sucked. This imbalance implies even more there are problems. But where? I personally do not think it is the Intercepted sign but maybe you know different.
HAIL SATAN!!!!

Depends on your 3rd house in general, not only Mercury. I'm fairly sure, with the information you've given, Mercury and Mars are not the cause. Saturn in the 3rd house, Saturn in Gemini, challenging aspects to Mercury or Jupiter can cause trouble in learning.
Some astrologers believe that adverse aspects to the Ascendant can cause mental issues, as it rules the head, and this could possibly lead to learning problems, but I don't have any more info on that.
Planets in signs don't affect their rulers. Many astrologers claim that the sign's ruler affects any planet therein because it is the planet's dispositor, but not the other way around, unless they are in mutual reception, which is an exceptional case where both planets are in each other's ruling signs. This doesn't seem to be your case.

Thank you for responding.
It's interesting because I actually have difficulties with learning. And I do think it's related to the two. I also had problems with school. And I didn't finished school (Mercury rules early schooling).
Mercury in Aquarius is naturally attracted to Science and Mathematics. I suck at the two.
To how degree are you sure in the fact that the planets in the signs don't affect their rulers? Thanks again.
HAIL SATAN!!!!

Virgo doesn't deal much with learning as Gemini does. Mars gives energy and in Virgo it focuses on work and health. The only issues you could have with Mars retrograde there (and probably only because it's so prominent) are health related.
Planets in signs don't affect their rulers unless, of course, they are aspecting each other. Your Mercury is extremely well placed, and I can't imagine you having trouble learning, unless there are other bad placements for this in your chart.
If you do have any trouble learning, these planets are probably not the cause.

If I have, for example Mars retrograde in the sign of Virgo, will it affect my ability to learn? Because Mercury rules Virgo, along with Gemini. Is it valid? Mars is prominently placed, exact conjunct the 10th house cusp of Virgo. Mars is also the only planet on the southern half (the top half) being the handling of my bucket chart. (Mars is also my co-ruler)
Mercury is in the sign of Aquarius, it's exaltation, in the third house.
I will not expose here the whole chart.. I just want to know how Mars retrograde in Virgo affect Mercury.. If at all, affecting.
HAIL SATAN!!!!
