Mercury in Virgo in the Tenth House

The placement of Mercury in Virgo indicates you have a need for perfection at the mental level. Much of the behavior and many of the personality characteristics associated with Mercury in Virgo are a result of this need to be mentally occupied with constant examination and improvement. Mercury is well placed in Virgo, since Mercury rules Virgo. Thus, those functions associated with Mercury have a particularly strong affinity for the Virgoan energy and the attunement of those functions to the Virgo vibration strengthens and empowers them.

Virgo is the Mutable Earth sign and the changeable earth nature of Virgo symbolically forces Mercury’s changeable airy nature to take on form and structure.  This allows those functions to be applied to concrete situations, bringing the mental quality associated with Mercury down to earth. The ability to apply the Mercury-associated functions concretely and practically makes them extremely relevant and, thus, tends to bring them to the forefront of your personality.

Insécurités

With Mercury in Virgo, if you are insecure in yourself, then you will have an inherent lack of trust in what cannot be verified with logic or the senses. Your ego cannot face the reality that there are things that cannot be known by the mind. In fact, once logic and the senses are abandoned, the ego itself is shown to be an illusion. Logical empiricism, therefore, becomes a self-preservation defense of the ego. For you, having Mercury in Virgo, only that is real which you can perceive with your senses or verify with your logic. Such a stand, whether conscious or unconsciously held to, ultimately compels your mind to analyze everything down to the smallest iota in its quest to verify “reality.” You never make a leap of faith and, because you are obsessed with examination and analysis, your “action” is all mental.

Mercury in the 10th House:

Mercury in the 10th House suggests that you have a practical bent to your mental and communicating functions and also that you are mentally goal-oriented. You are not likely to dwell overly long on analysis. Instead, you will evaluate the data and reach a decision that can help you proceed toward your goal. The purpose of thought and communication, in your mind, is to get things done.

As an individual with Mercury in the 10th House, from your point of view, thought, to be worth engaging in, should be useful and constructive. The mind should have a goal and then proceed forward to actualize that goal. Your mental energies are likely to be bent on accomplishment.

If there is a danger associated with Mercury in the 10th House, it is that, in your eagerness to harness yourself to achieve success for yourself, you fail to deliberate sufficiently or to take seriously the nuances or logical contradictions that your mind brings to light (or that others communicate to you). To the extent that your mind is goal-focused and disciplined, it is likely to be strong, though not necessarily intellectual. With Mercury in the 10th House, if success eludes you, however, you may lose mental confidence. You will generally look for success in everyday accomplishments, however, and this should keep your mind positive and always occupied with something to achieve.

Insécurités

Having Mercury in the 10th House, if you do not really believe in yourself and your own capabilities, you will always be thinking and worrying about success and how you will accomplish this or that. You will be mentally confronted by the possibility of your own failure and you mentally react to this possibility, always with the subconscious aim of protecting your ego from humiliation. You may lower your expectations so that if you fail, the failure will not seem so catastrophic or will seem fated and beyond your control. In fact, in your worry and anxiety over failure, you are likely to think of scapegoats to blame for your failure to accomplish your goals.

Alternatively, with Mercury in the 10th House, you may seek to overcompensate. Your worry and your fears may drive you mentally to accomplish your objectives at any cost. Outwardly, you may appear to be successful and brilliant, but inwardly, you doubt yourself and your capabilities and always must prove your intelligence to yourself and others.

L'accent mis sur l'intellect

With Mercury in the 10th House, your intellect may be focused on your career. Your intellect is also likely to be focused on achieving your goals and accomplishing your objectives. The 10th House placement of Mercury also suggests that you may have a career in which your intellectual talents are used. You are more likely than most to be engaged in a mental profession. You may think about or analyze your career more than others.  You are also more likely to mentally plan the steps you will take in order to achieve your goals and objectives.
