Alright, so I’ve been diving deep into astrology lately, and I’ve got this thing in my chart – Mercury in Cancer in the 9th house. Sounds kinda complex, right? But it’s been a wild ride figuring out what it all means. Let me tell you about it.
First off, I started by just staring at my birth chart. I looked at where Mercury is. It’s in Cancer, and it’s sitting right there in the 9th house. I thought, “Okay, what’s step one?” I gotta understand what each of these things means on its own.
So, I began digging into Mercury. Mercury, from what I gathered, is all about how you think, communicate, and learn. It’s your mind’s style, basically. Then there’s Cancer. Cancer is, you know, the emotional, sensitive type. It’s like your feelings are always turned up to eleven. And the 9th house? That’s the big picture stuff. Philosophy, travel, higher education, beliefs—you name it.
Then, I started thinking about how Mercury and Cancer might play together. This was a bit tricky. I found some stuff online saying Mercury is a bit “challenged” in Cancer. It made sense. Mercury is all logical, and Cancer is, well, not always so much. But then I saw that Virgo, which is ruled by Mercury, is actually cool with Cancer. They get along, like, they help each other out. This made me think that my thinking might be super detailed (Virgo) when I’m feeling emotional (Cancer).
Next, I began to put all three together: Mercury, Cancer, and the 9th house. This is where things got really interesting. I felt like a sponge, just soaking up all this knowledge about beliefs and philosophies, but always with this emotional touch. I wasn’t just learning facts; I was feeling them, connecting to them on a deeper level.
- I started reading tons of books on different philosophies and spiritual stuff.
- I found myself drawn to discussing these ideas with friends, but it was more about how they made us feel than just the ideas themselves.
- I even tried traveling, not just to see new places, but to really experience different cultures and ways of life. I wanted to feel what it was like to live in a different way, not just read about it.
One thing I really noticed is how I started to understand people better. I was becoming more empathetic, really feeling what others were feeling. I could see why people believed what they did, even if I didn’t agree. It was like I was getting a glimpse into their hearts as well as their minds.
The Realizations
This whole journey had some key moments of clarity:
- Realized my communication style is deeply tied to my emotions. I can’t just be objective; I have to feel connected to what I’m saying.
- Discovered I love learning, especially about things that expand my worldview. But I need that emotional connection to really get into it.
- Understood that my beliefs are deeply personal and tied to my feelings. I’m not just following some dogma; I’m living what I believe.
It’s been a journey, and I’m still figuring things out. But this Mercury in Cancer in the 9th house thing? It’s me. It’s how I think, how I feel, and how I connect with the world. It’s like I’m on this constant quest for knowledge and understanding, but always with my heart leading the way. And honestly? I wouldn’t have it any other way.
