Mercury in Virgo in the Eighth 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.

불안정성

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 8th House:

Mercury in the 8th House is a somewhat challenging placement for the planet because of the 8th House’s association with privacy. Even though public communication may be difficult for you, Mercury in the 8th House suggests a variety of strengths. These strengths can be developed once you realize that developing your mental and communication faculties is possible once these are turned in the right direction.

As an individual with Mercury in the 8th House, while you may experience some difficulty with abstract or objective forms of mental activity, you are likely to become adept at cognitively understanding emotions and the motivations of others. Rather than perceiving by deduction, you are more likely to turn your mental attention to those matters where a more intuitive perception is valuable. Generally, with Mercury in the 8th House, you are most comfortable mentally when dealing with private or internal matters.

Having Mercury in the 8th House, although your mind’s intuitive functions may be highly developed, this may not be evident to others because you may not display your mental or communicative aptitudes. You are likely to be interested in things that are secret and enjoy thinking about intimate details. You can be highly observant of nuances and personal details that others may overlook. For this reason, you are often an excellent judge of character and able to predict how people will act and react.

불안정성

With Mercury in the 8th House, if you are inwardly insecure you will be terrified of discovering real intimacy and may subconsciously adopt a variety of mechanisms to avoid any awareness of a level of intimacy in which you would lose yourself. One such strategy is to intellectualize the intimate. Sexuality, intimate emotions and 관계, even death, are reduced to mechanical, mental formulas. Having Mercury in the 8th House, you may like to think about or talk about sexuality and other intimate matters, but you do not really participate in them – you do not really feel intimate.

For the individual with Mercury in the 8th House, another strategy is to prevent the mind from having any meaningful engagement. Your conversation is perfunctory, or you are reluctant to engage in conversation with others, preferring to be alone. Your thoughts are all on the surface. Your mental capacity may appear weak, because it is not exercised.

Having Mercury in the 8th House, a darker defensive strategy involves being mentally focused on the negative side of intimacy. You may have a mental fascination with death or with sexual perversity. You may avoid intimate contact to the extent of becoming anti-social. Your mental fascination with death and destruction, however, generally will not proceed beyond talk.

Intellect’s Focus

With Mercury in the 8th House, you are likely to focus your intellect on things that are below the surface, on intimate details. You may have the type of mind that cannot rest until you have perceived the source of things and have stripped away all superficialities, completely, to get to the essence of a thing that may lie hidden to others. Besides this tendency, your intellect may contemplate matters of sexuality or life and death. You may also have an intellectual interest in managing others or in power relationships.  As an individual with Mercury in the 8th House, you may be interested in economics from the standpoint of how resources are shared. If you are a lawyer, your area of specialty is likely to be in contracts, wills, divorces and other matters involving the intermingling of resources.
