Mercury is no longer in Gemini, so I’m feeling a little less chatty this week. It has now entered Cancer, so let’s talk about our feelings! No, not really. Instead, we will be taking a look at Mercury through the houses to see where you do most of your thinking and communicating. And since the tides have changed you can expect a little bit shorter of a post than usual.
Mercury through the houses
The natal house your Mercury is sitting (where it is in your birth chart), shows what area of life you spend most of your time thinking and communicating about. To this end, here is a list of some general statements about Mercury in each of the houses:
Mercury in the first thinks about the self, identity and appearances.
Mercury in the second likes to think about money, self-worth and value.
Mercury in the third likes to chat with siblings and neighbors.
Mercury in fourth thinks about home, family and traditions.
Mercury in the fifth thinks about creativity, children and romantic hook ups.
Mercury in the sixth thinks about work, health, daily regimens and coworkers.
Mercury in the seventh thinks about their partners, whether they be romantic or business.
Mercury in the eighth thinks about sex, death, transformation and taxes.
Mercury in the ninth thinks about life-long learning and spirituality.
Mercury in the tenth thinks about their career and legacy.
Mercury in the eleventh thinks about their friends, social circles and dreams.
Mercury in the twelfth thinks about hidden subjects, endings and secret worlds.
While that’s not everything you need to know about Mercury through the houses, it’s a jumping off point. By combining your Mercury sign with the house that Mercury resides in, you can start to paint a picture of what you generally think about, how you communicate, and where you do most of your talking.
