Mercury in the 11th house

Mercury in the 11th house thinks in networks. Full of ideas about the future and surrounded by friends to share them with, you do your best thinking in a group.

Mercury in the 11th house: the 11th house lit on the wheel, the glyph of Mercury inside it
Mercury in the 11th house, as your chart would show it

Your group chats have group chats, and you are the one who keeps them all going.

You were born with Mercury, the planet of thinking and talking, in your eleventh house: the house of friends, groups, allies and hopes. Your mind is social. Ideas come alive for you when they are shared and argued over.

A wide circle

You make friends through conversation, and your friends are a kind of library: one knows law, one knows plants, one knows everyone. You connect people who should know each other. Clubs, online communities, causes and teams give your mind somewhere to go.

Thinking ahead

Your thinking points forward: new technology, new ways of living, how things could be better. You like brainstorming more than finishing, and you are good at getting a group excited about an idea.

Too many voices

The risk is thinking only in company. In a crowd of opinions you can lose track of your own, and a busy social life can leave little time to think alone.

Spend one evening a week offline, with a notebook.

The friend with the idea

The best project your friends ever did together started as a message from you that began “what if we”.

The houses are drawn from the horizon at the minute and the place you were born, and the whole wheel of them turns once a day, so the house a planet stands in depends on your birth time. Two people born on the same day can have Mercury in different houses.

Your chart, below, places Mercury in its house and every other planet in theirs.
