Mercury in Scorpio in the Fifth House

La colocación de Mercurio in Scorpio indicates you have a need to function at a deep mental level with authenticity and integrity. Much of the behavior and many of the personality characteristics associated with Mercury in Scorpio are a result of this need to mentally perceive the truth about yourself and your environment. Mercury is indifferently placed in Scorpio. The positive aspects of the placement are symbolized by the natural sextile between Scorpio and Mercury-ruled Virgo. However, Scorpio is the Fixed Water sign and both fixity and water are problematic for the air and mutable-associated Mercury, as symbolized by the natural quincunx between Scorpio and Mercury-ruled Gemini.

The Fixed Water of Escorpio pulls the mental energies associated with Mercury to deep places, from which escape to the outer world is difficult. In these deep places, the Mercury-associated functions gain power through access to reality and truth. However, Mercury’s air is challenged to adapt to the flow of Scorpio’s water.  The Mercury functions are naturally more comfortable in the realm of the ordinary and the everyday.

La colocación de Mercurio en Escorpio sugiere que hay ciertas características y cualidades de la personalidad con las que te identificas. A continuación se enumeran las cualidades típicas de Mercurio en Escorpio, primero las positivas y después las más negativas o disfuncionales. Estas cualidades se dividen en tres categorías, que corresponden a las principales funciones simbolizadas por Mercurio: intelecto, comunicación y sistema nervioso.

Inseguridades

Con Mercurio en Escorpio, si eres inseguro, tu mente está obsesionada con ser dominado por fuerzas que escapan a tu control. En su extremo, esto puede convertirse en un miedo paranoico. Para "protegerse" de ser dominado por otras personas, busca constantemente formas de dominarlas. Esta preocupación mental por el poder y el control te corroe y te vuelve desconfiado y temeroso.

Mercury in the 5th House:

The placement of Mercury in the 5th Casa 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).

Inseguridades

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 manifestación 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.

Enfoque del intelecto

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.
