Okay, so, “Mercury in the fifth house” – let’s dive into what I did with this and how it all played out. It’s a whole astrology thing, you know?
First, I grabbed my birth chart. Needed that to even know where my Mercury was hanging out. I used one of those online calculators, just typed in my birth date, time, and place. Super easy.
My Experiment with Mercury
Once I saw Mercury was chilling in my fifth house, that’s when things got interesting. I read that this placement is all about creativity, communication, kids, and having fun. It’s like, your mind is a playground.
So, I decided to lean into that. Here’s what I did:
- Started journaling: I never really did this consistently before. Figured, hey, fifth house energy, let’s express myself! I just wrote whatever popped into my head, no filter. It was messy, but kind of freeing.
- Tried a new creative hobby: Always wanted to learn to paint, so I bought some cheap watercolors and just went for it. Total beginner, but hey, it’s the fifth house, right? It’s about playing and experimenting, not being perfect.
- Spent more time with kids: I have nieces and nephews, so I made a conscious effort to hang out with them more, play games, and just be silly. It was surprisingly fun, and I felt way more connected to them.
- Brainstormed some random ideas: Mercury is all about the mind, and the fifth house is about creation, so I just let my mind wander and jotted down any crazy ideas that came to me. No judgment, just letting the thoughts flow.
Honestly, the whole thing was pretty cool. I felt more… alive? Like I was tapping into this playful, creative energy I didn’t even realize I had. The journaling helped me clear my head, the painting was a fun outlet, and spending time with the kids was just pure joy.
The brainstorming? Who knows, maybe one of those random ideas will turn into something someday.
I am not saying I’m suddenly a master artist or anything, but it was a cool experiment. It showed me that even just a little bit of focus on the things that are supposed to “light you up” can make a difference. You will feel more connected to yourself and your inner child.
It’s like giving yourself permission to play and be creative, and that’s always a good thing, no matter what your birth chart says.
