What is your Mercury doing in your chart and...Do you have any siblings? Do you like kids? Want your own kids? Would you work with kids? Would you specialize in a field that has a specific focus on children (medicine, psychology, education)?

I have mercury in libra in the 11th opposite saturn in the 5th (which makes me kind of mouthy on occasion )I have two daughters and 1 grandson - all three are my world. I get along well with kids of all ages but I think that has more to do with all of my sag placements. IP: Logged |

Mercury conjunct sun, Venus, Saturn, Pluto in 3H Libra on the Scorpio cusp sextile 5H Sag stellium of moon, Mars, Neptune, Uranus.I was born an only child yet I come from an extended family and think of many cousins as like siblings, especially one I lived with off and on for years. And as part of an extended family I've always been expected to help look out for kids younger than me even when I was a kid myself. I do like kids. Because others make it necessary I'll add that I think it's okay not to like kids as long as they therefore avoid them, don't have them or work with them, etc. I came to the logical conclusion that I should not have kids and made that choice, yet deep down I wanted kids and would often dream I had a son (though in other dreams he was a little brother) and for years I thought I was meant to give birth to him. And perhaps it's tied to my 3H Libra-5H Sag but I've often worked with neighborhood kids. (I'm also now helping to raise 2 kids that I didn't give birth to and I do believe they're closer to me than their mom.) And how it started...I was 17 when an adult I was close to called me in a panic. The Summer Children's Reading program had well over a score of kids dropped off but the parents had other things to do and furthermore all 20 volunteers who had promised to show up flaked. And so I aided 2 librarians manage those kids who ranged between 4-11, IIRC. And some days were very stressful like when the librarians took them to the beach, I had my hands full that day, and when we were walking back the youngest kids kept trying to wander off and our WALK sign to cross a busy highway was only a short window of opportunity that didn't allow for a leisurely walk across the street...how I fantasized of having all the kids (over 20, the most who had shown up) in like slave chains bound to each other with me cracking a whip over their head to get them across. None of the volunteers ever showed up and I stayed through the entire program (and then continued as a library volunteer until the director ticked me off), and it got me a smoking hot reference that I used to gain babysitting gigs and also entertain at children birthday parties, and I'd find other ways to leverage that into income as I got more experience (it's amazing how much money I made when I was paid to take kids to the Hannah Montana movie by parents and grandparents desperate to not see it again and again, I sometimes had to arrange or even hire more transportation as I had so many kids, sometimes more than once a day, and I got paid $20 per kid and more than one weekend I racked in about a thousand bucks in profit!). And generally speaking I liked kids and they liked me (but I would be firm as necessary), and I have more patience with them than I do for adults. IP: Logged |

Sagittarius Mercury in the 4th sextile Moon. ASC and MC ruler.I have an older sister. Generally, I'm ok with children (at least as long as they behave) and can be fond of some. I don't want my own children. I could work with children but it would be a temporary/side thing. I think I could do well as a teacher but I don't intend to pursue it, at least not officially. ------------------ My sister in arms presents... IP: Logged |

Hi Whaaat, I have 4 siblings. I grew up with 2. I love children. I have my own children. I don't know if I would work with children, but I welcome them into my home and life. I have a 12th house Mercury, conjunct Jupiter and Leo Ascendant (also square Moon and Uranus, sextile Pluto and Mars). Vedic gives me a 1st house Mercury, conjunct Jupiter and Cancer Ascendant, which is worth mentioning because I think Jupiter in Cancer best describes where my ideas about children come from. And Jupiter in Cancer also best describes how I love to, and try to teach. I think Cancer Mercury conveys Cancer Jupiter's vision and intention naturally and comfortably.

I have mercury in aqua 7th house Conjunct venus, trine mars, sextile Jupiter and sextile chiron.One sibling, a younger sister. I have two awesome kids (under 6) but prior to meeting my husband, I vowed and declared I wasn't going to have children (nor get married either). Many of my friends are teachers and although I admire them, I do not envy their job, I would not enjoy working with children especially younger ones, only my own. Being in a classroom day after day with 30 odd kids would drive me crazy. I never want to wish time away but as my children get older, I enjoy them much more, more interaction than when they were babies. My sister, on the other hand, absolutely adores children of all ages and was always clucky. She has mercury in aqua also, in 11th house with her sun and venus. She has two kids of her own and works in pediatric oncology.

I've mercury in 11th opposing my Saturn, I'm like an authority figure in the eyes of my siblings, they love me. I'm not tough with them but still they respect me, the other generation is almost 10 years younger to me, but we don't seem to be really affected by the generation gap. I'm in constant touch with all, and I myself am very youthful in a mature way. I was reading somewhere Mercury in Gemini makes a person all communicative and youthful..Guess it's this effect on my personality that instead of relating to my age group I fit in more with the elders or the younger ones. Where either I can learn from or teach something. I love kids and want three kids of my own, two girls and a boy..I don't understand their psychology because I can't see past their innocence.. lol..

Mercury in Leo 4th conjunct Ceres Square Mars/PlutoNo Siblings I like some kids, the inventive ones not the wipe their snot on my clothing kids. I really don't want kids whether their from me or step children. I would work with kids because I do like seeing how their minds work and their interactions with one another. Considered becoming a teacher abroad a few times. I work in the education field already specifically prek-12 education.
