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

Onzekerheden

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 7th House:

The 7th House is generally a favorable placement for Mercury, since it tends to bring out the communication function represented by the planet. With Mercury in the 7th House, your relaties are more likely to be mental than emotionally based. Your mental energy tends to be directed externally, toward others, rather than introspectively. As an individual with Mercury in the 7th House, you are likely to enjoy the communication involved in relationships, especially when others respond favorably to your communications and to your mental energy. You may, therefore, be quite active in forming and carrying on relationships with a variety of people. You are likely to enjoy people due to the mental stimulation that they provide you.

Having Mercury in the 7th House, your thoughts may dwell on your actual or potential relationships with others. If you become too mentally involved, you may become overly analytical or critical of your relationships. You may also suffer from worry over your relationships.  With Mercury in the 7th House, you may also be vulnerable to your thoughts and perceptions being influenced by your relationship partner(s) or even by those with whom you come in contact. The thought of wanting to please other people may become too dominant, to the extent that you lose your independence of mind or say things you really don’t believe in because you want others to think well of you.

Onzekerheden

As an individual with Mercury in the 7th House, if you are inwardly insecure, you will be overly concerned with what others think of you. Your thoughts will dwell too much on the reactions that others have to you and you worry about this constantly. This may make you cautious or reluctant to communicate to others or you may say only what you think others want to hear. Because of your own insecurities about your self-worth, you may assume that others think ill of you. This may lead you to adopt a highly critical attitude towards others as a defense mechanism. In this, you are merely responding in-kind to the attitudes that you assume others express toward you. When your negative attitudes go beyond just thinking, you may become verbally abusive.

Intellectuele focus

With Mercury in the 7th House, your intellect tends to be focused on others. You are likely to pay attention to what others think and the opinions that they express before forming your own opinions. You will also generally think about and analyze your relationships. This generally helps you to put your relationships in perspective, define yourself with respect to others and foster growth in your relationships. If you have an intellectual or academic interest in relationships, this may lead to a career in psychology or counseling.
