Mercury in Aries in the Sixth House

The placement of Mercury in Ariete indicates you have a need for mental self-assurance. Very often, the tentative mental apparatus that you possess needs to be reinforced by a heavy dose of assertiveness. Much of the behavior and many of the personality characteristics associated with Mercury in Aries are a result of this need to be mentally confident. Being able to turn your thoughts and words into action may also provide self-confidence.

Mercury is generally well-placed in Aries. Aries is the Cardinal Fire sign. The active fiery nature of Aries symbolically harmonizes well with the quick and airy nature of Mercury. Thus, the Mercury-associated functions are stimulated and activated. There is a danger, however, that Mercury’s mental energy could be overwhelmed by Aries’ need to act, resulting in mental impulsiveness and lack of self-control. This danger is symbolized by the natural quincunx between Aries and Mercury-ruled Virgo.

Insicurezze

With Mercury in Aries, mental insecurity stems from a subconscious realization that the mind is treading on new and uncharted round. It must keep up its confidence despite its lack of experience. This need to keep from giving into insecurity and maintain self-assertion often leads to mental bravado or recklessness, as the ego needs to prove itself. This mental insecurity can also manifest in your having such a need to prove yourself mentally that you are overly aggressive and argumentative.

Mercury in the 6th House:

As the natural ruler of the 6th House, Mercury is well placed. It is the intellect, with its discriminating faculty, that is the psyche’s chief tool to accomplish the 6th House objective of self-refinement. Also, in the derivative spheres of  6th House activities – work, health and service – it is the intellect and the communication function that are most useful and usually provide you with the greatest  level of satisfaction. Thus, the functions symbolized by Mercury are those that are naturally brought to the fore in those activities that are associated with the 6th House. Typically, the mental and communication functions will be strengthened by their use in these 6th House activities.

Mercury’s placement in the 6th House symbolizes your tendency to apply your intellect to useful service. You are likely to gain a great deal of satisfaction from mental work and communication. A potential danger of having Mercury in the 6th House is that the mental and communication functions become limited through your absorption in the activities associated with the 6th House. These activities tend to practical and you may be disinclined to turn your mental energy to pursuits that do not have obvious utilitarian benefits.

For the individual with Mercury in the 6th House, the realm of self-improvement offers an avenue through which you can expand your mental realm. It may be true that you confine yourself only to those forms of self-improvement that show tangible benefit, but you also have opportunities for self-development on more subtle or transcendent levels. Here, the analytical faculties symbolized by Mercury are engaged more abstractly, but with a purpose of refining your personality and the self.

Insicurezze

With Mercury in the 6th House, if you are insecure, you may be inwardly rebellious toward the task of self-improvement. This task ultimately involves subjugating your ego and you are too insecure to let go of your ego. You may lament your fate, which you may see as having cast you in a role of low position and servitude. Your mind is obsessed with complaint about your station in life, your work and your health problems. You see your life as a drudge and a bore. As an individual with Mercury in the 6th House, criticism comes readily to your tongue, while you react venomously to any criticism directed at yourself.

Intellect’s Focus

Having Mercury in the 6th House, your mind is turned to work and to matters of self-improvement, including health-related matters. Your work may be mental, or you may be mentally absorbed in your work. You may be attracted to programs that improve the mind, or to learning about ways to build greater health in the body. Your intellect is also likely to be engaged in a good deal of self-analysis with the object of discovering and correcting your faults. Another object of your intellectual activity may be to discover ways in which you can help others to improve their lives.
