Mercury in Libra in the Tenth 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 関係, which is strongly associated with Libra, presupposes and depends upon communication.

Insecurities

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 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.

Insecurities

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.

Intellect’s Focus

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.
