Mercury
in the house of the higher mind bestows a taste for science, literature, and
intellectual pursuits. This mentally stimulating placement gives an abundance
of ideas, beliefs, and opinions along with the ability to express them
verbally. Such a person will search out meaningful connections in order to fit
their varied observations into a rationally conceived pattern of thought.
The
mind needs constant challenge but it is important that consistency of effort
and powers of concentration are developed, for this individual may be very
restless, with an ever-present need to move on to new pastures.
A
hunger for intellectual expansion will be present in others with this placing,
and they may enjoy work in libraries, bookstores or a university, in order to
become part of the sort of life that is so admired and desired. The need to
learn is always present, and as for those with a Sagittarian Sun or Ascendant,
there is a strong element of the eternal student.
They
find travel to be particularly educational and may study languages or work as
a translator. This is an excellent position for teaching and guiding young
people.
