ALMUTEMMercury Opposition Midheaven
Mercury represents the way you think, speak and learn; Midheaven, your vocation, your place in the world and your reputation.
Mercury opposing the Midheaven plays the career between the public and the home, and through dialogue with others: the calling is made of dealing and of speech, but asks that thought not scatter between what is shown and what is kept. Good for crafts of mediation.
In the opposition Mercury is at the Imum Coeli, in the Fourth House: ideas take root at home, and intellectual work is often done from there. Tradition links this position to family businesses, to writing from memory, to property documents and to a mind that keeps returning to its origins. The person frequently studies the history of their family or of the place where they were born. Balance comes from taking outside what is thought within, without letting the home become an office that never closes.
