Mercury in the 5th house

From Astrology In Depth

Your mental and communicative abilities will largely be applied to personal issues. Although very intelligent, your mind will often dwell on pleasures, hobbies, love-making and amusements; you especially enjoy games requiring mental competition. You have a deep need of mental pleasure and intellectual stimulation, therefore, your friends and romantic partner are likely to be intellectual types. An interest in gambling or other forms of speculation is indicated. You may also have some interest for art, music and literature.[1]
