A reading speaks to the person it was written for, so this one talks to Burt 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 Sagittarius

You have a very lively, active and dynamic character, you are always somehow on the go and this also includes your emotional growth. You always go forward, are interested in novelties, other perspectives and views, although you cannot see the world differently than from your own perspective. You expect a lot from relatives and friends, are in good relations with all people, although you aren't very diplomatic. You probably work in professions that are in some way or the other connected to travelling and foreign countries.

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. Because of your audacious attitude towards life, you attract all sorts of people, also more serious ones.

Mercury sextile Uranus

You are clever, original, innovative and inventive, you think quickly. You have a sociable and communicative nature, you make acquaintances without difficulty and they are usually numerous. You have a curious spirit and are interested in everything. You are restless and responsive and usually have good coordination.

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 inconjunct Pluto

You are usually intelligent and insightful, you intuitively perceive the essence of the situation, but despite this you don't act and judge best in these situations, because you too often make conclusions based only on yourself and don't consider other circumstances and don't always adapt to them well. Although you have a lot of thinking energy and a perspicacious nature, you often don't distinguish between what is important and what is useless, so you can be inspecting some completely meaningless and unnecessary things, as if under a microscope.

Mercury conjunction Ascendant

You are usually a pleasant, open, sociable, communicate and talkative person. This is also why you have a big circle of friends and acquaintances. You have a restless nature and you never stop, you are constantly in movement and action, both in body and mind. You think, speak and act quickly, sometimes without thinking. You are curious and interested in everything, but you often bit off more than you can chew and so tend to be nervous sometimes.
