Mercury in Aquarius in the Eleventh House

The placement of Mercury in Aquarius indicates you have a need to function mentally with originality and freedom. Much of the behavior and many of the personality characteristics associated with Mercury in Aquarius are a result of this need to display mental force and to distinguish yourself as an individual through your ideas. Mercury is generally well placed in Aquarius. This is symbolized by the natural trine between Aquarius and Mercury-ruled Gemini. Aquarius’ fixed air quality symbolically strengthens the mental energies inherent in Mercury, giving them force and confidence.

Although there is inherent compatibility between Mercury’s airy nature and the air sign, Aquarius, the functions symbolized by Mercury tend to work at a more ordinary and mundane level than is commonly associated with Aquarius. Rather than being a source of tension, however, the Aquarian energy tends to elevate and broaden the capacities of the Mercury-associated functions. However, if your mental energies or capacity have difficulty rising to this heightened level, those functions are likely to express themselves through the more negative qualities associated with Aquarius.

Inseguridades

Having Mercury in Aquarius, if you are insecure, you are likely to become intellectually arrogant. Although you may be correct that few share your capacity for original thought, you generally overestimate your own “brilliance” and originality. You may even think that you are a genius. Your arrogance only causes you to mistrust others and creates cynicism toward a world dominated by “lesser minds.” Your mistrust and cynicism are actually a reflection of your own hidden insecurity about your mental abilities and also reflects your lack of ability to communicate your message so that others can understand it.

Mercury in the 11th House:

Mercury is well placed in the 11th House, which is ruled by Uranus.  Uranus is said to be Mercury’s higher octave – Mercury being associated with the mundane mind and Uranus being associated with the higher mind. Thus, having Mercury in the 11th House tends to elevate Mercury’s vibration. In the 11th House, the mind is drawn to consider things that lie beyond the ego, e.g., the individual’s role and purpose in society.

For the individual with Mercury in the 11th House, this often results in a tendency for you to identify with a group. It may be common for you to take on the role of communicator and information processor in a group situation. You are also mentally inclined toward taking on social responsibility. If you have an active intellectual life, you are likely to find mental stimulation in the study of society, the individual and collective relaciones to more complex systems, as well as in exploring ways to benefit humanity.

Having Mercury in the 11th House, you are also likely to be mentally activated in group discussions or in working for a group or organization. You are likely to be future-oriented and open to new ideas. However, new ideas must be practical to be well received by you and you are likely to see abstraction for its own sake as useless. You tend to value your intellectual freedom highly.

Inseguridades

With Mercury in the 11th House, subconsciously perceiving the inward loneliness that must follow the ascent into the abstract realm of idea, you reject this challenge if you are inwardly insecure. Instead, and as a protective coping mechanism, you find comfort in association with others like yourself. This sense of belonging, particularly when ideas and opinions are held in common, is satisfying. Yet, your fear of mental uniqueness may make group identification an obsession. You may have no ideas of your own, but only adopt those sanctioned by the group. Similarly, having Mercury in the 11th House, your social interaction and communication is very group-oriented and you may see contact with others outside the group as threatening. You may also become obsessed with talking about “my” group and the ideas and opinions espoused by the group.

Intellect’s Focus

As an individual with Mercury in the 11th House, your intellect is generally focused on concepts and ideas, especially those having to do with society and the individual’s role within it, with humanity and its place in the order of things, or with the future. You may also be mentally concerned with groups and societies. Your intellect will tend to run along abstract lines and will also have affinity for structured knowledge.
