Romance and Synastry Astrology – Composite Mercury in the Houses








Edited by Gemma



Composite charts are an astrological technique that provide amazing insight into the relationship between two people. Created from both of their natal charts by taking the mid-way degree point between each planet and point, they can be used to see how a relationship will play out, both friendship and romantic and we gain insight into their challenges and synchronicities through the chart.

While the composite Sun and Moon shows us the main expressions and emotions couples share, Mercury in the composite chart is all about the quality of communication and how they think as a couple. Being able to talk openly is quite important in relationships, even if the instinctive, emotional connection is there. Without it true intimacy is threatened and we tend to rely on guess work to figure out what the other person is really thinking and feeling.

What does Mercury mean in each house of the composite chart? Read on to find out.

In The 1st House

Communication, learning and bringing together logical ideas will be quite important to two people with composite Mercury in their 1st house. Mercury is strong here so talking about a wide range of subjects should come very easily. They may also both have a love of sharing ideas about personal development and growth.

In The 2nd House

There may be values and valuables between two people with this placement that are centred around objects that facilitate communication, learning or travel such as books, musical instruments or cars. Or they could share a very intellectually clever or astute way of looking after money that promises financial growth.

In The 3rd House

Mercury is very strong, so communication is likely to be very easy and flowing. There is also likely a strong intellectual bond between the two and that they came together because of something intellectual they did. There may be an urge to interact and share ideas and this is most likely a superficial relationship or a good friendship.

In The 4th House

This couple will likely be instinctively aware of one-another’s feelings within the relationship and be able to talk about the most hidden and difficult aspects of their upbringings with each other. If they share a home, they are likely to fill it with unique and interesting items that are mentally stimulating.

In The 5th House

The two people will likely really enjoy conversations together with Mercury here, so they are not just communicating because they need to but for the pleasure it brings them too. This is a great position for two people who are educating children together, especially when focussing on their intellectual growth.

In The 6th House

There may be lots of communication around the responsibilities the two people share between them, whether this is as a couple or as business partners. Shared responsibilities are likely to work out well with their logical and systematic approach and their ability to tackle these without too much emotional involvement.

In The 7th House

This is a good position for Mercury because the planet is strengthened here, meaning communication is likely to flourish between the two people in a way that is balanced and fair. There will be a sense of being united intellectually, as you are able to share your thoughts and ideas without much judgement or opposition.

In The 8th House

Mercury is a conscious planet so this couple may find themselves talking a lot about the psychological nuances that are at work between them. Most things will likely be out in the open as they are each unafraid of sharing the deepest aspects of themselves, leading to true intellectual intimacy.

In The 9th House

This relationship may change two people’s philosophical viewpoints or their spiritual understanding of the world, because there are likely to be many conversations about new ideas and literature etc. They may want to explore many topics of higher education together and may have many lively debates.

In The 10th House

Business relationships in Mercurial fields such as communications, travel and education may prove successful with Mercury in the 10th. If the relationship is more personal, there will be a strong theme of reaching specific goals between them, especially ones centred around growth as a couple. There may be a strong intellectual bond.

In The 11th House

Two people with this placement tend to be very mentally compatible, while sharing one another’s wishes and general ideals. It is also likely that common friends will play a big part in their lives, while spending time with those who are intellectually stimulating and interesting is generally favoured.

In The 12th House

With Mercury here, it’s really important there is a conscious effort to communicate openly, to avoid any confusion. From the outside world, this couple may seem to have hidden meanings in their communications and they’ll pick up on lots via intuition alone, but this cannot be relied upon completely.
