Mercury in Libra in the Second House

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 relation, which is strongly associated with Libra, presupposes and depends upon communication.

Insécurités

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.

Mercury in the 2nd House:

With Mercury in the 2nd House, the Earth influence associated with the 2nd House suggests that your mental energy is practical and grounded. It is likely that your mental energy will be turned toward matters associated with physical survival and providing for comfort and financial security. More abstractly, you may turn your attention to forming values. However, having Mercury in the 2nd House, if you do not consciously reconsider your value system, then it is likely that you will not deviate from the value system to which you have been conditioned – one that is dominated by material values and self-interest.

As an individual with Mercury in the 2nd House, much of your mental energy is likely to be occupied with material acquisitions and securing a safe and comfortable environment for yourself and those who depend upon you. You may always be thinking of how to provide for your and your family’s material security. Because of this focus, with Mercury in the 2nd House, you may be more likely to have a cautious and practical mental attitude. You are likely to view intellect as valuable when it is useful in pursuing your goals. You may have some antipathy toward those “intellectuals” who are concerned with less practical matters.

Insécurités

Having Mercury in the 2nd House, you may become inwardly insecure when you see your mental abilities as what must bring you success at acquiring material possessions and living in material affluence. That part of your self-worth that you attach to your mental and communicating proficiencies is, then, vulnerable to you achieving material “success” in life. With Mercury in the 2nd House, you may conceive that the sole value of your intellect is in playing the game of material acquisition. You dismiss thinking for its own sake as something frivolous.  If you are not successful materially, then you may disparage your intellect and turn away from it. This not only lowers your self-esteem, it also practically guarantees your failure in the material world. As an individual with Mercury in the 2nd House, you may compensate by redefining your concept of material success by valuing those things that are not rewards for a keen intellect.  You may also fear the burden of pursuing material success, due to your inner insecurities. This, also, may prompt you to reject your intellect and to appear dull and uncommunicative to others.

L'accent mis sur l'intellect

With Mercury in the 2nd House, you tend to be intellectually focused on improving your or others’ material comfort and security. This may take the form of seeking practical solutions to problems of material scarcity, using your intellect in financial matters to acquire wealth, thinking about wealth and welfare or simply applying your intellect to gaining material possessions and security. You may be concerned with the meaning of value, with determining what is really valuable, or with the science of ethics or economics.
