Mercury in Cancer in the Eleventh House

The placement of Mercury in Cancer indicates you have a need for those functions symbolized by Mercury to operate on the emotional level. Much of the behavior and many of the personality characteristics associated with Mercury in Cancer are a result of the basic emotionality of the mental functions. Mercury is generally challenged somewhat by its placement in Cancer. However, as symbolized by the natural sextile between Cancer and Mercury-ruled Virgo, there are very positive aspects of this placement that can be realized.

Cancer is the Cardinal Water sign. Most of the time, the active watery nature of Cancer symbolically drowns and dampens the changeable airy nature of Mercury, forcing the Mercury-associated functions to act through an unaccustomed element. This can produce a major amount of stress if the mental functions do not adapt to the emotional energy field represented by Cancer. However, if there is attunement, then the combination can become very powerful and positive, as you now have become “bi-lingual” as it were, able to unite and balance the Yin of the mental with the Yang of the emotional.

Неуверенность в себе

Having Mercury in Cancer, if you are insecure as a person, you are likely to feel unsure of your mental nature and, because of this, you reject the emotional attunement toward which your mental state leans. Your intellect feels overwhelmed with irrationality and you cannot deal with this. The ego subconsciously perceives its vulnerability in allowing the mind to function in a state in which the “irrational” (i.e., the ego’s perception of the unconscious Reality) may break through and threaten the integrity of the ego. Your response to this mental confusion is to withdraw mentally from active engagement. However, because you cannot escape the nature of your mental functions, you tend to communicate in an emotionally reactive manner whenever you are mentally confronted with “the irrational.”

Mercury in the 11th House:

Mercury is well placed in the 11th House, which is ruled by Uranus.  Uranus is said to be Mercury’s higher octave – Mercury being associated with the mundane mind and Uranus being associated with the higher mind. Thus, having Mercury in the 11th House tends to elevate Mercury’s vibration. In the 11th House, the mind is drawn to consider things that lie beyond the ego, e.g., the individual’s role and purpose in society.

For the individual with Mercury in the 11th House, this often results in a tendency for you to identify with a group. It may be common for you to take on the role of communicator and information processor in a group situation. You are also mentally inclined toward taking on social responsibility. If you have an active intellectual life, you are likely to find mental stimulation in the study of society, the individual and collective отношения to more complex systems, as well as in exploring ways to benefit humanity.

Having Mercury in the 11th House, you are also likely to be mentally activated in group discussions or in working for a group or organization. You are likely to be future-oriented and open to new ideas. However, new ideas must be practical to be well received by you and you are likely to see abstraction for its own sake as useless. You tend to value your intellectual freedom highly.

Неуверенность в себе

With Mercury in the 11th House, subconsciously perceiving the inward loneliness that must follow the ascent into the abstract realm of idea, you reject this challenge if you are inwardly insecure. Instead, and as a protective coping mechanism, you find comfort in association with others like yourself. This sense of belonging, particularly when ideas and opinions are held in common, is satisfying. Yet, your fear of mental uniqueness may make group identification an obsession. You may have no ideas of your own, but only adopt those sanctioned by the group. Similarly, having Mercury in the 11th House, your social interaction and communication is very group-oriented and you may see contact with others outside the group as threatening. You may also become obsessed with talking about “my” group and the ideas and opinions espoused by the group.

Intellect’s Focus

As an individual with Mercury in the 11th House, your intellect is generally focused on concepts and ideas, especially those having to do with society and the individual’s role within it, with humanity and its place in the order of things, or with the future. You may also be mentally concerned with groups and societies. Your intellect will tend to run along abstract lines and will also have affinity for structured knowledge.
