Mercury in Leo in the Third House

The placement of Mercury in Leo indicates you have a need for mental creativity. Generally, there is a need, not only to be creative, but for others to know of and approve of your creativity. Much of the behavior and many of the personality characteristics associated with Mercury in Leo are a result of this need to know that others appreciate you and your mental abilities and creativity. Mercury is generally well placed in Leo. This is symbolized by the natural sextile between Leo and Mercury-ruled Gemini.

Leo is the Fixed Fire sign. The fire energy of Leo symbolically energizes the air of Mercury and fires the imagination. This is excellent fuel for the creative elements latent in the Mercury-associated functions. However, Leo’s fixed quality may give Mercury’s air too much force in one direction. Thus, the Mercury-associated functions become prone to stubbornness and, particularly, a will to dominate in your extreme desire for validation by others through acceptance of your thoughts and ideas.

Insecurități

As an individual with Mercury in Leo, if you are insecure as a person, then your intellect only becomes absorbed in your ego needs. Your own ideas must constantly be displayed for approval. If you do not gain this approval, you feel intellectually inferior. This may either cause you to retreat or to communicate your thoughts with such timidity and hesitation that rejection is almost guaranteed, or you may try to push your thoughts and ideas on others, trying to cover your insecurity with boldness. You may even claim creative genius for yourself, though really you are a master of bluff.

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.
