Mercury in Taurus

16 May 1985, 21:26, Ljubljana, Slovenia

A reading speaks to the person it was written for, so this one talks to Jakob as “you”.

Besides the Sun and the Moon there are four planets that are very important for personal horoscope analysis and define individual parts of your personality: Mercury, Venus, Mars and Jupiter.

Mercury is the planet, nearest to the Sun and it travels the fastest. That is why it is a very important personal planet, which influences communication, education, relationships, skillfulness and resourcefulness. Mercury also symbolizes transport and travels, especially short ones.

The position of Mercury in personal horoscope tells us how you think, how you communicate with the outer world and generally describes all the things that occupy your mind.

Mercury in Taurus

You are stubborn, you always thoroughly examine and consider everything before you decide to act. Things need to be orderly and in their place. You love money, benefits and comforts that money can offer and are cautious with money, but not stingy. You have a talent for accumulating material wealth and also a talent for all things, connected with money in general. You are not enthusiastic about new ideas and need a lot of time to adapt to them. But when you do start doing things or when you finally get excited about something, nothing will stop you from doing it.

Mercury in 5th house

You are a very creative person, of dramatic character and vivid imagination, you also have good organizational or pedagogical skills. You do very well in artistic professions, in film, on stage and in show business; amidst directors and actors. Because of your energetic approach, convincing way of expression and popularity, you have good pedagogical skills.

Mercury trine Neptune

You are usually pleasant, agreeable, emotional and compassionate. You are creative, clever, you have good memory, also a natural feeling of organizing and processing facts, information and vibrations from the environment. You have vivid imagination and exceptional intuition, which you often manage to use and take advantage of very well. You are often an artistic soul who is able to express very well creatively (often you have talent for music and painting). Because of these characteristics, others find you interesting and attractive. You often have a good nose for business and usually rely most on your feeling, despite the circumstances.

Mercury opposition Pluto

You are decisive, perspicacious and energetic, you have a strongly working mind and endless mental capacity, but you can be prone to being cynical, too critical and judgmental. You take good advantage of intelligence and perspicaciousness, but you can be cold and impersonal in doing so, also cruel and manipulative. You “protect” by “stinging” in advance. You often oppose to something or someone, you get upset often and know how things should be happening, but with you this often stays at a thinking and verbal level. You need to nurture tolerance and acceptance.

Mercury inconjunct Ascendant

You are usually restless and sociable, you like moving. You have a curious nature, you are interested in news and gossip, you are everywhere where there is happening. You are constantly in action and often on the road (although merely on short trips). You calm down with difficulty and are not always patient. If things don't go fast enough or are not interesting enough and don't offer you the right challenge, you get tired of them and focus on something else. You like making acquaintances and businesses, yet they sometimes don't give you a satisfying result. You need to nurture better communication and cooperation with others, also calmness and persistence.

Mercury inconjunct MC

You are usually sociable and like moving in all sorts of circles, everywhere where something is happening. You can't be still and you mustn't miss anything. You like making acquaintances and businesses, but you don't always have the luckiest hand at choosing both; it happens that you invest a lot of energy, time and even money into something and it later proves to be a sort of “dead end” or it stands on weak foundations. You need to nurture better communication and cooperation with others, especially in business.
