Mercury in the 7th House

Reflected awareness. Mercury’s position in the 7th house indicates that interactions serve as the "trigger mechanism" for the individual’s thinking. You cannot activate your mental activity on your own. However, connection with other people stimulates your mind, develops rational abilities that allow you to unravel your own puzzles. Naturally, you will be drawn to people whom you consider intelligent or bright thinkers. The trap lies in a kind of unintentional plagiarism. Do not adopt the thinking style of another person, no matter how elegant and brilliant it may be. The task is to use the stimulation of thinking through partnerships to create thought forms that you can truly call your own. Equal relationships. You engage with others through your own curiosity; you spend a lot of time reflecting on partnerships. The trap, quite curious, lies in communication difficulties. You often approach contact with your partner too passively. You wait for contact, constantly thinking about it, languishing, yet hoping that your partner will take the initiative first. If you want relationships to be lively, interesting, and exciting, it is you who should stimulate them, not wait for them to stir you. The task is to study human relationships. Explore every relationship in your own life and in the life unfolding around you. Study how they work, why some succeed while others fall apart. Become an expert. Contracts, obligations. You enter into a contract only after thorough analysis. You consider every possibility, examine the relationship from all angles before making a firm agreement. Yet even signing the contract does not calm your mind. You enjoy the small details of the contracts you draft; you are fascinated by the very structure of the agreement. And though this may seem paradoxical, disagreement equally fascinates you, at least in terms of stimulating your nervous system. The trap is that the amount of information is limitless, and you try to account for every factor. The task is first to conduct the analysis, but then not to forget the importance of making a decision. Each phase of the process is necessary. One phase without the other is not only unproductive but also dull; such a separation causes broken agreements and collapsed partnerships. Collaboration. You subordinate yourself less to collaboration than to endless negotiations. You are not always inclined toward cooperation, but you are always ready to discuss the possibility of cooperation, sometimes ad infinitum. What excites you more are differences rather than common ground. The trap is endless series of negotiations, aligning rules, defining exceptions, discussing what has already been decided, etc., without moving on to productive collaboration. However, logical argumentation impresses you; you can be convinced by eloquence, so remember the task—to draw attention back to yourself, otherwise you may later find yourself creating something with which you do not agree. Partners or partnerships. Your natural partner has an active, pronounced intellect; this is a person who is curious, excitable, and sociable. Your companion must have a highly developed intellect, at least in your eyes, and must be interested in a wide range of events in people’s lives. Natural partnerships have a mobile nature, like the mobility of a mercury ball. They should allow for free association, have many friends, be social, and serve as a source of mental stimulation, directing your mind toward new, exhilarating spheres of which you previously had no concept. The image is that of a fast car speeding through the alleys and wide boulevards of a crowded city.

Relationships with a partner are expected to be respectful and sincere. Marriage will likely be more a matter of reason than emotion. Multiple marriages are not excluded.

The purpose of military memoirs is not the restoration of truth, but the secondary destruction of the enemy. This person will fight with his rational mind; at a low level he will struggle with his own stupidity. Externally it may look different. For example, Mercury can materialize in the form of an enemy from whom, in a good way, one should learn intelligence, logic, speech, or, in extreme cases, dexterity in business, but a person perceives him as a competitor or adversary who has completely antagonistic goals and is subject only to extermination or expulsion. Nevertheless, during the war, a person will have to learn to think and combine (sometimes to trick and deceive), which, at the average level, is its meaning for him. It is possible that Mercury, as an enemy, materializes in the form of a school subject, and then a person initially hates it with all his soul, he feels bad at the sight of textbooks and a teacher, etc. Then you need to change the emphasis of training, making it less mental (immersion, for example, strongly includes the element of water), but the main thing is to understand that you need to overcome a certain internal obstacle, suppress the activity of an internal enemy that prevents you from thinking at all or prescribes thinking only in certain, well-learned forms - this is a program for protecting the subconscious, configured specifically against unnecessary (from its point of view) knowledge, including mental blocking, and you need to learn how to manage it. As a partner, this person will show quickness of mind, combinative abilities, perhaps dexterity in business, and he likes partners with the same qualities; on occasion, he can deftly shift responsibility for an offense or simply part of the responsibilities onto a partner, but if Mercury, the 7th house and the chart as a whole are not severely affected, he will not abuse this.
