Mercury in Scorpio in the Fourth House

The placement of Mercury in Scorpio indicates you have a need to function at a deep mental level with authenticity and integrity. Much of the behavior and many of the personality characteristics associated with Mercury in Scorpio are a result of this need to mentally perceive the truth about yourself and your environment. Mercury is indifferently placed in Scorpio. The positive aspects of the placement are symbolized by the natural sextile between Scorpio and Mercury-ruled Virgo. However, Scorpio is the Fixed Water sign and both fixity and water are problematic for the air and mutable-associated Mercury, as symbolized by the natural quincunx between Scorpio and Mercury-ruled Gemini.

The Fixed Water of Scorpio pulls the mental energies associated with Mercury to deep places, from which escape to the outer world is difficult. In these deep places, the Mercury-associated functions gain power through access to reality and truth. However, Mercury’s air is challenged to adapt to the flow of Scorpio’s water.  The Mercury functions are naturally more comfortable in the realm of the ordinary and the everyday.

Mercury’s placement in Scorpio suggests that there are certain personality characteristics and qualities with which you identify. Typical Mercury-Scorpio qualities are listed below, with positive qualities listed first and their more negative, or dysfunctional, counterparts listed afterward. These qualities are divided into three categories, corresponding to major Mercury-symbolized functions: intellect, communication and the nervous system.

不安

With Mercury in Scorpio, if you are insecure, your mind is obsessed with being dominated by forces beyond your control. At its extreme, this can turn into a paranoia-like fear. In order to “protect” yourself from being dominated by other people, you constantly search for ways to dominate them. This mental preoccupation with power and control eats away at you and makes you suspicious and fearful.

Mercury in the 4th House:

Typically, the 4th House would not be seen as a very strong placement for Mercury, as it suggests a somewhat introverted focus. With Mercury in the 4th House, the mental energy symbolized by Mercury is likely to be expressed in a somewhat limited or constrained way, chiefly focused on private concerns and not particularly engaged with the wider world. Your mental faculties tend to concentrate on things that have a high emotional content. Mercury in the 4th House also suggests a potential for conflict involving your mind acting in a sphere of life that is dominated by emotion.

With Mercury in the 4th House, the strength of this house placement is the opportunity it suggests for building a strong mental foundation. This may be because of the firm grounding that your mental processes enjoy. Your strong mental position may also be the result of your successful integration of the mental and emotional spheres of your psyche.

As an individual with Mercury in the 4th House, your mental energy tends to be basic to how your personality functions.  Those functions symbolized by Mercury tend to lie at the root of your being and your personality. You may also have a tendency to mentally get to the root of things. However, it may also be the case that your mental energy can become buried or ignored, lying underneath the surface, but largely untapped. If this is the case, your mental energies will seem weak and passive.

不安

Having Mercury in the 4th House, you are intuitively aware that there is something that underlies the conscious ego that is more powerful and real than the ego. You also sense, if only subconsciously, that the mind is capable of uncovering this power. However, being insecure within yourself, you suppress and confine your own mind so that your ego-existence remains unthreatened. You, therefore, busy your mind in the everyday fabric of life with which you are familiar and over which, through force of habit, you are able to maintain control.

With Mercury in the 4th House, your mind runs in predictable, preconditioned grooves and remains confined to its own little world. You do not give your intellect too much importance, so it does not develop. You have little curiosity about what lies beyond the realm of family and routine experience. You make no attempt- in fact, you are even resistant – to learn more about the wider world beyond. If you feel threatened by disturbing ideas, your natural reaction is to retreat, ignore and become preoccupied with your own private world.

知性の焦点

As an individual with Mercury in the 4th House, your intellect, if it is developed, tends to be focused on basic questions.  Why and how, what is behind this phenomenon? You are likely to have a desire to get to the root of issues or problems. You may also be interested in the past. The study of history or genealogy is natural. An interest in family dynamics may translate into an interest in sociology. If you are not so intellectual, your mind is likely to be engaged in family and domestic matters.
