Mercury in Cancer in the Fifth 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.

不安全感

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 5th House:

The placement of Mercury in the 5th House suggests the energy of a Mercury-Sun contact. Generally, your mental and communication functions are enlivened and energized in the 5th House. They are directed toward expressing your personality and your creativity and showing this to others.

To do this, you must think about your persona and talents. Thus, you have an opportunity to consciously formulate (or modify) your personality traits or to develop your creative potential. Mercury in the 5th House may also signify that your positive attributes and creative energies are chiefly intellectual or involve communication skills. Even if you are expressive and creative in non-mental ways, you will probably apply thought to the organization of these functions.

Having Mercury in the 5th House, you are also predisposed to apply your intellect to things having to do with.  You are apt to engage in mental play, too, meaning that you are likely to express your mental energies in a playful, rather than a rigid or overly serious manner. Secondly, you are likely to have a drive to communicate to others in a way which is self-expressive and displays your creativity.

As an individual with Mercury in the 5th House, your communication style is likely to be lively and even playful. There may be much talk about things that involve creativity. However, you should guard against a tendency to use communication as a forum to focus attention on yourself (directly or through your children).

不安全感

With Mercury in the 5th House, if you are inwardly insecure, you will not develop a clear and positive picture of your personality and, therefore, you will feel compelled to constantly mentally project your persona in order to gain attention and validation. For the individual with Mercury in the 5th House, this often takes the form of incessantly talking about yourself and your interests. At the very worst it degenerates into boasting about your accomplishments and talents, or those of your children. Another manifestation of your insecurity is for you to become fixated mentally. You constantly think about creative endeavors, about doing things, but you never get beyond the thinking (or talking) stage.

Intellect’s Focus

Having Mercury in the 5th House, your mind is turned to creative pursuits and modes of self-expression. You may possess qualities of intellectual spontaneity and you may have a prolific intellect. Your mental processes are likely to provide you with enjoyment and even entertainment. Yet, there will be a tendency for your intellect to be concerned more with the persona than with the social or universal. Your mind is likely to be a key component of your personality. You may also be mentally absorbed in children or in things related to childhood.
