The placement of Mercury in Libra indicates you have a need for mental balance and harmony. Much of the behavior and many of the personality characteristics associated with Mercury in Libra are a result of this need for mental equipoise. Often, your mental equipoise is tied to your knowing that others like you. Healthy and frequent interpersonal communication is also likely to be important to you and this may also be a source of validation to you that other people like you. Mercury is well placed in Libra. This is symbolized by the natural trine between Libra and Mercury-ruled Gemini.

Libra is the Cardinal Air sign. The active air associated with Libra symbolically harmonizes with and activates the changeable airiness of Mercury. Air is the natural mental element and this strengthens the Mercury-associated functions. The communication function symbolized by Mercury is especially enhanced, because the relación, which is strongly associated with Libra, presupposes and depends upon communication.

Inseguridades

With Mercury in Libra, seeing everyone else’s point of view, you are too insecure within yourself to hold to your own thoughts about things. In fact, you may not even know what your own thoughts and viewpoint are. Your ego is too frightened by the possibility of being rejected by others not to try to please others by agreeing with their way of thinking. One result is that you become stymied in your own decisions or, worse, become a parrot of those around you.

Mercurio en la Casa 9:

Although the 9th House’s core function, understanding, would seem to be a natural mental activity, Mercury is traditionally in detriment in the 9th House. The mental functions symbolized by Mercury tend to be focused on detail and on specific and separate facts. The mind collects and processes data. It communicates specifics. With such a narrow focus, the mind itself may have a difficult time assembling bits of data into a grand and comprehensive conceptual understanding. The mind must have the capability to pull back from its immediate involvement and contemplate the big picture if it is to successfully handle the demands symbolized by the 9th House.

Having Mercury in the 9th House, if your mind is strong and blessed with positive energy, it will be inclined to explore the world and intellectually form a comprehensive worldview. Still, you may experience some insecurity about whether all of your bases are covered or whether you have collected enough information to see the complete picture when you need to make a judgment. With Mercury in the 9th House, in looking at the larger picture, seeking understanding and expanding your horizons, you may still desire to immerse yourself in the minutiae of the subject and bury yourself with facts. Nevertheless, Mercury’s placement opposite the house it rules offers you the opportunity to develop your mental capabilities in both exact and broad dimensions, to extend your mental grasp and to avail yourself of an intellectually grounded understanding of things.

Inseguridades

As an individual with Mercury in the 9th House, faced with a world that is too complex in its detail to be understood by you, you salvage your ego from complete frustration and humiliation by adopting a defensive position. One such position is to conjure a system in which you can believe without concerning yourself about whether your worldview conforms to reality. Instead, you conform reality to your worldview. This makes you highly opinionated and convinced that your understanding of the world is correct. With Mercury in the 9th House, another defensive response is to simply shut down the intellectual process, concluding that understanding the world is not important. You absorb information, receive impressions and experience the world at a sensory level but you make no attempt to understand it.

Enfoque del intelecto

Having Mercury in the 9th House, you seek to comprehend and understand the world from an intellectual perspective. You are likely to spend mental time trying to discover a system through which the world, or some particular aspect or problem, makes sense. You may study philosophy and religion or some other academic pursuit that can supply you with an intellectual paradigm. You may also experience intellectual stimulation through travel or other experiences that broaden your horizons. With Mercury in the 9th House, you are more likely than not, to be liberal-minded and open to more tolerant points of view. You are likely to enjoy exploring new topics. In fact, you may not be satisfied unless engaged in some type of intellectual quest.
