Mercury in House 5: what are Mercury and House 5?
We can start explaining Mercury going back to the old mythology. For the Greeks, Mercury had another name: the God Hermes, who was the messenger with wings on his feet. For the Romans, Mercury was a symbol of travel and trade. This conjoins with the fact that the planet is the fastest moving around the Sun.
Astrologically speaking, we see Mercury as a chance to connect our mind with the Divine. The main role of Mercury is to decipher our thoughts and make them into words, influencing the way we write and speak.
Whether visual, spoken or written, all kinds of communication are affected by the planet. Especially when it is retrograde. When Mercury is in retrogradation, we can have problems with electronic devices and more misunderstandings, for example.
House 5 is the House of pleasure and creativity. Being the fifth House, it associates with the sign Leo and marks a new beginning of a cycle of identity in our birth chart. Leo is the second sign of fire and comes to say that “to be” is not enough (like House 1 preaches), you need to be and feel special, manifesting who you truly are. The aspects you have in this area of your chart will tell how you deal with this commandment.
All the astrological Houses can be empty or shelter more than one planet. But if you have Mercury in House 5, your thoughts and way to communicate are more focused on things that can make you happy and bring pleasure.
