Mercury in Scorpio in the Tenth House

The placement of Mercury in Scorpio indicates you have a need to function at a deep mental level with authenticity and integrity. Much of the behavior and many of the personality characteristics associated with Mercury in Scorpio are a result of this need to mentally perceive the truth about yourself and your environment. Mercury is indifferently placed in Scorpio. The positive aspects of the placement are symbolized by the natural sextile between Scorpio and Mercury-ruled Virgo. However, Scorpio is the Fixed Water sign and both fixity and water are problematic for the air and mutable-associated Mercury, as symbolized by the natural quincunx between Scorpio and Mercury-ruled Gemini.

The Fixed Water of Scorpio pulls the mental energies associated with Mercury to deep places, from which escape to the outer world is difficult. In these deep places, the Mercury-associated functions gain power through access to reality and truth. However, Mercury’s air is challenged to adapt to the flow of Scorpio’s water.  The Mercury functions are naturally more comfortable in the realm of the ordinary and the everyday.

Mercury’s placement in Scorpio suggests that there are certain personality characteristics and qualities with which you identify. Typical Mercury-Scorpio qualities are listed below, with positive qualities listed first and their more negative, or dysfunctional, counterparts listed afterward. These qualities are divided into three categories, corresponding to major Mercury-symbolized functions: intellect, communication and the nervous system.

Unsicherheiten

With Mercury in Scorpio, if you are insecure, your mind is obsessed with being dominated by forces beyond your control. At its extreme, this can turn into a paranoia-like fear. In order to “protect” yourself from being dominated by other people, you constantly search for ways to dominate them. This mental preoccupation with power and control eats away at you and makes you suspicious and fearful.

Mercury in the 10th House:

Mercury in the 10th House suggests that you have a practical bent to your mental and communicating functions and also that you are mentally goal-oriented. You are not likely to dwell overly long on analysis. Instead, you will evaluate the data and reach a decision that can help you proceed toward your goal. The purpose of thought and communication, in your mind, is to get things done.

As an individual with Mercury in the 10th House, from your point of view, thought, to be worth engaging in, should be useful and constructive. The mind should have a goal and then proceed forward to actualize that goal. Your mental energies are likely to be bent on accomplishment.

If there is a danger associated with Mercury in the 10th House, it is that, in your eagerness to harness yourself to achieve success for yourself, you fail to deliberate sufficiently or to take seriously the nuances or logical contradictions that your mind brings to light (or that others communicate to you). To the extent that your mind is goal-focused and disciplined, it is likely to be strong, though not necessarily intellectual. With Mercury in the 10th House, if success eludes you, however, you may lose mental confidence. You will generally look for success in everyday accomplishments, however, and this should keep your mind positive and always occupied with something to achieve.

Unsicherheiten

Having Mercury in the 10th House, if you do not really believe in yourself and your own capabilities, you will always be thinking and worrying about success and how you will accomplish this or that. You will be mentally confronted by the possibility of your own failure and you mentally react to this possibility, always with the subconscious aim of protecting your ego from humiliation. You may lower your expectations so that if you fail, the failure will not seem so catastrophic or will seem fated and beyond your control. In fact, in your worry and anxiety over failure, you are likely to think of scapegoats to blame for your failure to accomplish your goals.

Alternatively, with Mercury in the 10th House, you may seek to overcompensate. Your worry and your fears may drive you mentally to accomplish your objectives at any cost. Outwardly, you may appear to be successful and brilliant, but inwardly, you doubt yourself and your capabilities and always must prove your intelligence to yourself and others.

Der Fokus des Intellekts

With Mercury in the 10th House, your intellect may be focused on your career. Your intellect is also likely to be focused on achieving your goals and accomplishing your objectives. The 10th House placement of Mercury also suggests that you may have a career in which your intellectual talents are used. You are more likely than most to be engaged in a mental profession. You may think about or analyze your career more than others.  You are also more likely to mentally plan the steps you will take in order to achieve your goals and objectives.
