Mercury in Virgo in the Fifth 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.

Insicurezze

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 5th House:

The placement of Mercury in the 5th House suggests the energy of a Mercury-Sun contact. Generally, your mental and communication functions are enlivened and energized in the 5th House. They are directed toward expressing your personality and your creativity and showing this to others.

To do this, you must think about your persona and talents. Thus, you have an opportunity to consciously formulate (or modify) your personality traits or to develop your creative potential. Mercury in the 5th House may also signify that your positive attributes and creative energies are chiefly intellectual or involve communication skills. Even if you are expressive and creative in non-mental ways, you will probably apply thought to the organization of these functions.

Having Mercury in the 5th House, you are also predisposed to apply your intellect to things having to do with.  You are apt to engage in mental play, too, meaning that you are likely to express your mental energies in a playful, rather than a rigid or overly serious manner. Secondly, you are likely to have a drive to communicate to others in a way which is self-expressive and displays your creativity.

As an individual with Mercury in the 5th House, your communication style is likely to be lively and even playful. There may be much talk about things that involve creativity. However, you should guard against a tendency to use communication as a forum to focus attention on yourself (directly or through your children).

Insicurezze

With Mercury in the 5th House, if you are inwardly insecure, you will not develop a clear and positive picture of your personality and, therefore, you will feel compelled to constantly mentally project your persona in order to gain attention and validation. For the individual with Mercury in the 5th House, this often takes the form of incessantly talking about yourself and your interests. At the very worst it degenerates into boasting about your accomplishments and talents, or those of your children. Another manifestation of your insecurity is for you to become fixated mentally. You constantly think about creative endeavors, about doing things, but you never get beyond the thinking (or talking) stage.

Focus dell'intelletto

Having Mercury in the 5th House, your mind is turned to creative pursuits and modes of self-expression. You may possess qualities of intellectual spontaneity and you may have a prolific intellect. Your mental processes are likely to provide you with enjoyment and even entertainment. Yet, there will be a tendency for your intellect to be concerned more with the persona than with the social or universal. Your mind is likely to be a key component of your personality. You may also be mentally absorbed in children or in things related to childhood.
