Mercury in Sagittarius in the Sixth House

The placement of Mercury in Sagittarius indicates you have a need to function mentally within broad and expansive constructs. Much of the behavior and many of the personality characteristics associated with Mercury in Sagittarius are a result of this need to be able to mentally quest and explore the world. There is an inherent tension in the Mercury placement in Sagittarius. This is symbolized by the natural square between Sagittarius and Mercury-ruled Virgo and the natural opposition between Sagittarius and Gemini, which is also ruled by Mercury. The Sagittarian propensity for ignoring detail in favor of the “big picture” can be frustrating and seem careless from the analytical and detail-oriented perspective inherent in the Mercury-symbolized functions. Likewise, the Sagittarian focus on the abstract idea clashes with the Mercury functions’ natural tendency to be concerned with the concrete and objective.

Yet there are also creative opportunities within this tension. Sagittarius is the Mutable Fire sign. Sagittarius’ changeable fire energy symbolically stimulates the changeable airy nature of Mercury, carrying it to all corners of the mental world.  While this can be creatively stimulating, the overabundance of mutable energy can create too much instability and lack of grounding for the Mercury-associated functions.

Another source of potential conflict is that the fire element within Sagittarius is prone to action, while Mercury functions in the mental realm. Either the mind may incline you to action, or the mental activity that you are engaged in may be so absorbing that you procrastinate taking any concrete action.

Niepewność

Having Mercury in Sagittarius, if you are insecure, then you cannot face the pain of the disillusion of established mental concepts that naturally must take place if you are to move beyond these concepts toward a greater understanding. This is because these established mental concepts support your ego and your ideas of who you are. You prefer to remain judgmental and hold on to your ego-reinforcing preconceptions than to understand the truth. Therefore, to defend your ego against an understanding that may threaten it, you become absorbed in the pursuit of the frivolous. Mentally, you chase after “fun” or move from one mental entertainment to another. In this way, you avoid the quest for higher understanding.

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.

Niepewność

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.

Koncentracja intelektu

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.
