Mercury in Leo in the Sixth House

The placement of Mercury in Leo indicates you have a need for mental creativity. Generally, there is a need, not only to be creative, but for others to know of and approve of your creativity. Much of the behavior and many of the personality characteristics associated with Mercury in Leo are a result of this need to know that others appreciate you and your mental abilities and creativity. Mercury is generally well placed in Leo. This is symbolized by the natural sextile between Leo and Mercury-ruled Gemini.

Leo is the Fixed Fire sign. The fire energy of Leo symbolically energizes the air of Mercury and fires the imagination. This is excellent fuel for the creative elements latent in the Mercury-associated functions. However, Leo’s fixed quality may give Mercury’s air too much force in one direction. Thus, the Mercury-associated functions become prone to stubbornness and, particularly, a will to dominate in your extreme desire for validation by others through acceptance of your thoughts and ideas.

Unsicherheiten

As an individual with Mercury in Leo, if you are insecure as a person, then your intellect only becomes absorbed in your ego needs. Your own ideas must constantly be displayed for approval. If you do not gain this approval, you feel intellectually inferior. This may either cause you to retreat or to communicate your thoughts with such timidity and hesitation that rejection is almost guaranteed, or you may try to push your thoughts and ideas on others, trying to cover your insecurity with boldness. You may even claim creative genius for yourself, though really you are a master of bluff.

Mercury in the 6th House:

As the natural ruler of the 6th House, Mercury is well placed. It is the intellect, with its discriminating faculty, that is the psyche’s chief tool to accomplish the 6th House objective of self-refinement. Also, in the derivative spheres of  6th House activities – work, health and service – it is the intellect and the communication function that are most useful and usually provide you with the greatest  level of satisfaction. Thus, the functions symbolized by Mercury are those that are naturally brought to the fore in those activities that are associated with the 6th House. Typically, the mental and communication functions will be strengthened by their use in these 6th House activities.

Mercury’s placement in the 6th House symbolizes your tendency to apply your intellect to useful service. You are likely to gain a great deal of satisfaction from mental work and communication. A potential danger of having Mercury in the 6th House is that the mental and communication functions become limited through your absorption in the activities associated with the 6th House. These activities tend to practical and you may be disinclined to turn your mental energy to pursuits that do not have obvious utilitarian benefits.

For the individual with Mercury in the 6th House, the realm of self-improvement offers an avenue through which you can expand your mental realm. It may be true that you confine yourself only to those forms of self-improvement that show tangible benefit, but you also have opportunities for self-development on more subtle or transcendent levels. Here, the analytical faculties symbolized by Mercury are engaged more abstractly, but with a purpose of refining your personality and the self.

Unsicherheiten

With Mercury in the 6th House, if you are insecure, you may be inwardly rebellious toward the task of self-improvement. This task ultimately involves subjugating your ego and you are too insecure to let go of your ego. You may lament your fate, which you may see as having cast you in a role of low position and servitude. Your mind is obsessed with complaint about your station in life, your work and your health problems. You see your life as a drudge and a bore. As an individual with Mercury in the 6th House, criticism comes readily to your tongue, while you react venomously to any criticism directed at yourself.

Der Fokus des Intellekts

Having Mercury in the 6th House, your mind is turned to work and to matters of self-improvement, including health-related matters. Your work may be mental, or you may be mentally absorbed in your work. You may be attracted to programs that improve the mind, or to learning about ways to build greater health in the body. Your intellect is also likely to be engaged in a good deal of self-analysis with the object of discovering and correcting your faults. Another object of your intellectual activity may be to discover ways in which you can help others to improve their lives.
