How strong is Mercury here?

Succedent houses (2nd, 5th, 8th and 11th) follow the angular houses and are about building, sustaining and securing what has been started. Astrologers read planets here as working steadily, with results that show over time.

The 2nd house corresponds to Taurus, ruled by Venus. Mercury doesn't rule Taurus, so it is read as bringing its own style of thinking, learning and communication to the house's themes.

House systems differ slightly, and the sign on the cusp of your 2nd house adds detail. Your full natal chart shows the exact picture.
