Mercury in Libra

22 October 1943, 13:35, Paris, France

A reading speaks to the person it was written for, so this one talks to Catherine 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 Libra

You feel best in a calm environment. You are attracted to beauty, aesthetics, also ethics, morals and law. You always strive for balance, you judge things fairly and always take both sides into consideration. You usually act mildly and diplomatically (if, for example, Scorpio is not too strong; or if the Sun or Venus are in this sign). In discussions and debates you act rationally and usually avoid tumultuous, wild and even aggressive environments. The negative side of this position is your indecisiveness, especially in your actions and with accepting responsibility.

Mercury in 9th house

You are an enthusiastic person, always learning and questioning, you are interested in travels (over the world) and have true cosmopolitan views. You are always doing something, always studying, you are always interested in something new, you have an eternally young spirit and fresh ideas. You are also interested in philosophy, psychology, religion and similar areas. You probably have strong connections to foreign countries.

Mercury trine Mars

You are usually intelligent, fast, decisive and perspicacious. You have a lot of inner strength and energy and know how to maintain balance between thinking paths, plans and your abilities, possibilities. You are very flexible, dynamic, coordinate, adaptable and fluent. You are always planning something and often put the plans into action, because you are skillful and inventive and often have good rhetorical skills and are persuasive with passing on your ideas. You have a sense of “being at the right place at the right time”. You are active, you like to move and discover new paths. You are interested in sport and are often also involved in it, you usually have a good sense of rhythm.

Mercury square Ascendant

You are restless, nervous and always active; both intellectually and literally you are constantly in motion, but it is not always fluent and flexible. You can have a moody and dispersed, also too quick and jerky nature. You love company and are always in the midst of the happening, but you are also not always the most sociable and accessible person, you also often avoid more in-depth contacts. You sometimes have problems expressing yourself, usually because of numerous baffling thoughts and then you can't express your point. It is advisable that you write (or create in similar areas), even if merely for yourself, so that you can “pour your thoughts onto paper” and learn to articulate your thoughts, also make a selection between useful and useless information.
