How it tends to show up
The 1st house is the field of self & identity. Your appearance, first impressions, body and the way you approach the world. With Mercury here, how you think, learn and communicate keeps getting drawn into that arena. It is often where you spend your energy and build something slowly, over years.
A question to sit with
When you think about your appearance, where do you feel your Mercury most alive? What would it look like to tend that part of life on purpose?
