Mercury Transit Houses | darkstar astrology

Astrologers will see the transit of Mercury in the houses for your career related matters. Mercury is the fastest planet after the Moon and orbits the Sun in 88 days. The winged angel is the most variable in motion compared to the other planets. Mercury can spend 15 to 60 days in any house or zodiac depending on its motion or retrograde. Mercury retrograde happens three to four times every year. The meaning of Mercury when it is retrograde is different in houses when it is visible. See my Mercury Retrograde post for its transit meaning when it is retrograde

Mercury transit in houses

Mercury Transit 1st House

It’s time to break out of the foggy cocoon and promote yourself again. You will feel very refreshed after your retreat. Your revived energy levels mean that you are now more inclined to advance yourself into leadership roles in your workplace. Freelancers will be more inclined to connect with people and promote their brand.

So now your brain is firing on all cylinders. Debates, meetings and interviews related to your work will go well. Words certainly will not escape you. The only problem may be overthinking things and not trusting your gut feelings. Put yourself out there when you have the gift of gossip!

Promotions, mailings and anything else that tells the world who you are and what you do is the norm at the moment. Sending CV and applying for job would be a good move. It’s ideal if you need to review how your business is doing because you’re feeling in the mood for in-depth analysis and research into statistics and projections.

Mercury Transit 2nd House

You have established your credibility, so ask for money now! You might be offered a secure salary or successfully sold. You will remain worried about material matters. What’s coming in, what’s going out and the nuts and bolts of things.

You may need to spend on equipment or tools to upgrade your brand. It is wise to invest in maintenance the more successful you will be in the meantime. If you are an employee make a good impression with your clothing and grooming.

Great time for shopping. You will be obsessed with getting the best deal during this period. You can use bargaining to your advantage at this point of time, so make the most of it. In terms of money coming in, this may not be the most successful time, as you have to speculate to make a deposit.

Your salesmanship will be exceptional. It will take a few months for the effort to bear fruit, so be patient. To make room for new items, you can sell things that are not important to you. There might be a sale, but don’t expect any amazingly high bidders on eBay!

Mercury Transit 3rd House

After a period of earning money and relating to the physical side of things, you may want to think about improving your skills and learning something new. You may be sent on a training course at work. If you’re between jobs, now is a great time to sign up for classes that improve your chances of employability if that’s been a problem.

If your qualifications aren’t enough to give you the lifestyle you want, do some study. Instead of traveling, you would prefer to research and read. This is also a good time to fill the application form for higher education.

If you need to study to advance your business or improve your prospects, now is the time to do so! You will naturally feel curious and want to absorb as much data as possible. You can do this the old fashioned way, gathering information about the neighborhood by just casually interacting with people.

Since you are in research mode, you will likely find yourself in front of a computer or surrounded by books. Your mind is interested in the smallest details, so learning something technical is ideal. You may find that your career is most successful at this time dealing with local people.

Mercury Transit 4th House

You are sick of ticking boxes and typing hurts your finger. Your eyes also need rest from all that reading. You feel more involved in a more practical role at work while doing physical work. As a result, you may have to step out from behind your desk and handle human resources. You can show up to customers near you, welcome them, and make lots of coffee.

Self-employed will be happy to stay close to home and dive into their interests. You will be worried about stabilizing your business and increasing your office space. The need to invite clients into your home may prompt you to consider renting office space to project a more professional image.

Home workers could feel chained to their desks. On the other hand, if you travel to an office, you may have difficulty getting there. This transit is good for those selling real estate or building construction work.

Perhaps you should consider restructuring your company or refreshing your ‘home’ page. If your physical office is nostalgic for work, think about decorating again. Remove any distracting clutter and do some cleaning rituals. At least give that coffee-stained keyboard a polish!

Mercury transiting fifth house

The serious business of checking the foundation of your work is over, so have some fun in your working life. Once you feel safe in your environment, you can become more casual and relaxed in your role. You may have felt that you had to be too strict in recent weeks to earn respect or maintain order.

You are working hard, so you need time to relax and be more playful. Attract your coworkers or employees. Reveal that you are human and not just Mr. or Mrs. Robot-skilled. You can experiment creatively and there isn’t much you can do with the book. You have already created a stable framework to sustain your broad ideas.

You may find it difficult to take things seriously and are likely to become the office clown. At least you’ll be popular with your peers and everyone will love to laugh! Earning money is not your main objective and you indulge in totally pleasurable activities. However, this attitude can still benefit your business as it attracts customers with its fun factor.

You must be feeling incredibly creative at this point. Exceeding rigid physical requirements creates unique and successful products. Paradoxically, when you don’t think about making money, you come up with ideas that work best commercially.

Mercury transiting 6th house

It’s back to serious maintenance work. Maybe you’ve been taking to a ball and socializing more than you’ve been to work in the past few weeks. Sorry, but that period has expired and you’ll have to work twice as hard to make up for it! It’s time to do detailed work and make sure everything is working properly.

Timetables and rotas are adjusted and tasks are assigned. Now is the time for job evaluation. The company’s machine is tested to ensure its efficiency. So step out of the bliss zone and make sure you are fast and well oiled for the test run.

During this time you make a great inspector! As your eyes look through a microscope, every little detail is visible. This is the best time to do mundane maintenance on your business. Check everything with a fine-toothed comb. Manage your accounts and fix broken links on websites. These types of tasks are best addressed at this time.

It’s not even the most imaginable period of the year. Use it to do all those odd jobs you’ve been putting off. Employees may be asked to do all the stingy tasks like cleaning the smelly stationery cupboards. Those abominations can make you feel like a servant. Just keep your headphones on to get through this!
