A reading speaks to the person it was written for, so this one talks to Anthony 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 Capricorn
You are a serious, cautious and responsible person who rarely strives for being in the forefront. You have good organizational, strategic and analytical abilities and do everything with care, step by step and with persistence – you fulfill your goals. You are very ambitious, you respect authority (you will also once become an authority) and knowledge. However, you can experience some difficulties with education at a certain point in your life, because you accept, comprehend and adopt other systems of learning and acting with difficulty – you basically have a quite nonconformist character and work best and easiest by following your own carefully elaborated systems.
Mercury in 12th house
You have vivid imagination and outstanding skills that are mostly dependent on your well-being and also mood at that particular moment. You are often immersed in deep thought and come across slightly chaotic and impractical, but you also have a very good memory, strong intuition and mostly the ability to understand others, that is why you are often involved in social work. But because you are also (if you want) a very good bluffer, you often work in acting, fashion and art.
Mercury as rising planet
Because Mercury is found eastern in your personal horoscope, you are dynamic and flexible, agile, swift and resourceful. You are very youthful, both in personality and in appearance. Because you are interested in all sorts of things and are also talented in many areas, it is useful to direct you already in childhood towards constructive use of excessive thinking energy; you are talented in languages, writing, commerce and marketing. You often also have sense of music and painting. You are very restless, yet articulate and it is extremely important to you to get enough movement. You constantly have to do something, both mentally and physically. You like to express yourself, you mostly talk a lot and are sociable and a good company.

You are always creating something, constantly improving and educating, always discovering new paths and ways, always looking into the future. You are altruistic, you try to improve the world and can also receive positive feedback, because of your good ideas which you often successfully present to others and others are willing to follow or at least help you on your path and with your efforts, although – because you are often simply “a bit ahead of time” – you are not always understood right away.
Mercury conjunction Ascendant
