ALMUTEMMercury in House 1
Mercury represents the way you think, speak and learn. House 1 is the house of your own life: the body, your general health, your temperament and the way you present yourself and set things in motion. It's the starting point for everything in the chart — where "you" stand.
In the first house — that of life, the body, and the person — Mercury is in its joy: the planet of mind, speech, and ingenuity is here on its own ground and, being an angle, expresses itself with full force and particular happiness. It inclines toward a lively and curious intelligence, a quick, deft, and nimble mind, and a natural gift for speaking, learning, and adapting to anything; it gives a versatile, communicative, and youthful spirit, often with an air and a vigour younger than one’s years. Mercury being mutable, it takes the colour of the planet that accompanies it and of the sign it is in. Well disposed, it makes a clever, eloquent, and ingenious person, gifted for study and dealing; afflicted, it scatters them into restlessness, aimless cunning, and a tongue that goes too far and wounds.
