Mercury in Virgo in the Third 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.

Insecurități

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 3rd House:

The 3rd House is Mercury’s natural placement, since it rules that house.  Having Mercury in the 3rd House you have strong and active mental and communication faculties. Mentally, you are oriented to receive sensory information from your immediate environment. You are often eager to learn about things and curious about your world.

As an individual with Mercury in the 3rd House, your mental contact with the world is usually direct and immediate. This is apt to result in your outlook being objective and straightforward. You are likely to accept what you experience, often without questioning its validity. With a mind that is generally uncluttered by doubts and second guesses, you are likely to be quick and alert in your perceptions and your reactions. You experience the world as it is, through your senses, without filters.

With Mercury in the 3rd House, you may be accused by some of being naive or simple-minded, but you can have a freshness of approach that may allow you to see things that others miss.  You are generally not inhibited about trying new things or approaches, but you may balk if these do not make sense from and objective, common sense perspective.  You are most likely a realist and may have little patience with ideas or thoughts that do not have an immediate and tangible application.

Insecurități

Having Mercury in the 3rd House, if you are inwardly insecure, your need for constant sensory stimulation in order to feel mentally alive will be almost obsessive. Your ego is firmly attached to the objects of sense, which you consider yours (if not in possession, then as your experience). To admit that there may be something behind the immediately observable is an admission that the premise on which your ego-esteem is based may not be valid. This is tantamount to admitting that your ego-self may actually not exist, although you would probably never verbalize this thought. With Mercury in the 3rd House, this is a thought that is unbearable and, so, you cling desperately to your sensory experiences. You deny whatever cannot be objectively confirmed and you become defensive when confronted by the prospect of the unknown or the complex.

As an individual with Mercury in the 3rd House, if your mental faculties have been traumatized or overly stressed, you may not be able to handle the sensory input being received from your immediate environment. In this case, you are likely to withdraw mentally or become incommunicative. You may also subconsciously reduce the level of your mental functioning so that you are doing nothing more than mindlessly experiencing the immediate.

Concentrarea intelectului

With Mercury in the 3rd House, your intellect will tend to focus on that which is objective and sensory. You are more likely to be concerned with data than with theory. You may have a love of learning, but it will usually be a love of collecting facts. You may have to draw upon faculties other than the purely mental in order to integrate the bits of objective data you collect into a coherent whole picture.

Having Mercury in the 3rd House, your mind is normally engaged in the world around you. Mentally, you may be very good with details and with assembling data. You may be able to detect patterns in the data, but you may have some difficulty in interpreting what these patterns mean.
