Mercury in the 4th house

The 4th house covers home, family and the private self. Mercury here keeps the household talking: news, opinions and arrangements, all of it worked out at the kitchen table. Many study or work from home, and a room set aside for it matters. Memory for family history runs to detail, and old conversations are recalled in full. The strain is a mind that will not settle in the place meant for rest, so the day's thinking follows them indoors and keeps them up.
