How strong is Mercury here?

Angular houses (1st, 4th, 7th and 10th) sit on the four main points of the chart. Traditional astrology treats planets here as the most prominent and influential, because they sit on the chart's key points.

The 7th house corresponds to Libra, ruled by Venus. Mercury doesn't rule Libra, so it is read as bringing its own style of thinking, learning and communication to the house's themes.
