Mercury in Leo in the First 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.

不安全感

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 1st House:

Having Mercury in the 1st House suggests that your mind and your ability to communicate play an important role in defining your identity and your sense of self. Inwardly, you may mentally focus on your self-identity. You are apt to think consciously and analytically about your identity and selfhood. You are more likely to consciously form the question, “Who am I?” than are most people. You can be expected to take a rational approach to answering this question. With Mercury in the 1st House, your self-analysis may extend beyond this basic question to others involving the definition of your identity. The danger in your mental energy being particularly focused on your self-identity is that you may become too self-absorbed.

With Mercury in the 1st House, tt is even more common for you mental and communication functions to manifest as an integral part of your identity. You are likely to see yourself as a thinking person (or, if you shun seeing yourself as an “intellectual,” as a communicating person). Because the mental and communicating functions are so closely identified with your self-concept, they are likely to be energized and extroverted.

不安全感

As an individual with Mercury in the 1st House, if you are inwardly insecure, you may feel that your self-identity and self-worth are tied to your intellectual ability and/or your ability to communicate to others. With Mercury in the 1st House, you think about and analyze yourself and your worth excessively. When critically comparing yourself to others, you inevitably come up short. You may think, consciously or subconsciously, that you are mentally inferior to others or that you cannot communicate as well as others can.

Having Mercury in the 1st House, you may have an idealized mental picture of yourself – one that is flattering to your ego – but when you think about yourself honestly and realistically, you feel ashamed that you are not what you think you should be. Your response may be to belittle yourself or to express your lack of self-confidence. As an individual with Mercury in the 1st House, you may also over-compensate by criticizing others and becoming arrogant about your own intellectual abilities. Your over-compensation, however only hides your own inadequacies from yourself.

Intellect’s Focus

With Mercury in the 1st House, your intellect is generally self-focused. You are likely to be self-analytical and to think about your self-identity. Of course, you, also apply your intellect to a variety of external situations and tasks but you usually consider your intellect to be an important dimension of your personality and to define who you are.
