Mercury in Virgo in the Eighth House

La colocación de Mercurio en Virgo indica que tienes una necesidad de perfección a nivel mental. Gran parte del comportamiento y muchas de las características de personalidad asociadas con Mercurio en Virgo son el resultado de esta necesidad de estar mentalmente ocupado con el examen y la mejora constantes. Mercurio está bien situado en Virgo, ya que Mercurio rige Virgo. Por lo tanto, las funciones asociadas con Mercurio tienen una afinidad particularmente fuerte con la energía de Virgo y la sintonización de esas funciones con la vibración de Virgo las fortalece y potencia.

Virgo es el signo de Tierra Mutable y la naturaleza terrestre cambiante de Virgo obliga simbólicamente a la naturaleza aérea cambiante de Mercurio a adoptar forma y estructura. Esto permite aplicar esas funciones a situaciones concretas, haciendo que la cualidad mental asociada a Mercurio baje a la tierra. La capacidad de aplicar las funciones asociadas a Mercurio de forma concreta y práctica las hace extremadamente relevantes y, por lo tanto, tiende a llevarlas al primer plano de tu personalidad.

Inseguridades

Con Mercurio en Virgo, si eres inseguro de ti mismo, entonces tendrás una falta de confianza inherente en lo que no se puede verificar con la lógica o los sentidos. Tu ego no puede enfrentarse a la realidad de que hay cosas que no pueden ser conocidas por la mente. De hecho, una vez que se abandonan la lógica y los sentidos, se demuestra que el propio ego es una ilusión. El empirismo lógico, por tanto, se convierte en una defensa de autoconservación del ego. Para ti, que tienes a Mercurio en Virgo, sólo es real aquello que puedes percibir con tus sentidos o verificar con tu lógica. Tal postura, ya sea consciente o inconscientemente sostenida, en última instancia obliga a tu mente a analizarlo todo hasta el más mínimo ápice en su búsqueda por verificar la "realidad". Nunca das un salto de fe y, como estás obsesionado con el examen y el análisis, tu "acción" es toda mental.

Mercury in the 8th House:

Mercury in the 8th House is a somewhat challenging placement for the planet because of the 8th House’s association with privacy. Even though public communication may be difficult for you, Mercury in the 8th House suggests a variety of strengths. These strengths can be developed once you realize that developing your mental and communication faculties is possible once these are turned in the right direction.

As an individual with Mercury in the 8th House, while you may experience some difficulty with abstract or objective forms of mental activity, you are likely to become adept at cognitively understanding emotions and the motivations of others. Rather than perceiving by deduction, you are more likely to turn your mental attention to those matters where a more intuitive perception is valuable. Generally, with Mercury in the 8th House, you are most comfortable mentally when dealing with private or internal matters.

Having Mercury in the 8th House, although your mind’s intuitive functions may be highly developed, this may not be evident to others because you may not display your mental or communicative aptitudes. You are likely to be interested in things that are secret and enjoy thinking about intimate details. You can be highly observant of nuances and personal details that others may overlook. For this reason, you are often an excellent judge of character and able to predict how people will act and react.

Inseguridades

With Mercury in the 8th House, if you are inwardly insecure you will be terrified of discovering real intimacy and may subconsciously adopt a variety of mechanisms to avoid any awareness of a level of intimacy in which you would lose yourself. One such strategy is to intellectualize the intimate. Sexuality, intimate emotions and relaciones, even death, are reduced to mechanical, mental formulas. Having Mercury in the 8th House, you may like to think about or talk about sexuality and other intimate matters, but you do not really participate in them – you do not really feel intimate.

For the individual with Mercury in the 8th House, another strategy is to prevent the mind from having any meaningful engagement. Your conversation is perfunctory, or you are reluctant to engage in conversation with others, preferring to be alone. Your thoughts are all on the surface. Your mental capacity may appear weak, because it is not exercised.

Having Mercury in the 8th House, a darker defensive strategy involves being mentally focused on the negative side of intimacy. You may have a mental fascination with death or with sexual perversity. You may avoid intimate contact to the extent of becoming anti-social. Your mental fascination with death and destruction, however, generally will not proceed beyond talk.

Enfoque del intelecto

With Mercury in the 8th House, you are likely to focus your intellect on things that are below the surface, on intimate details. You may have the type of mind that cannot rest until you have perceived the source of things and have stripped away all superficialities, completely, to get to the essence of a thing that may lie hidden to others. Besides this tendency, your intellect may contemplate matters of sexuality or life and death. You may also have an intellectual interest in managing others or in power relationships.  As an individual with Mercury in the 8th House, you may be interested in economics from the standpoint of how resources are shared. If you are a lawyer, your area of specialty is likely to be in contracts, wills, divorces and other matters involving the intermingling of resources.
