Mercury in Leo

23 July 1989, 12:00, London, United Kingdom

A reading speaks to the person it was written for, so this one talks to Daniel 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 Leo

You have a big heart, are honest, dramatic and ambitious. You like to make a good impression and are usually successful achieving this, because others find you a very attractive and interesting person. You often act quite noisily (if your Sun isn't in Virgo or Cancer), you make jokes and are highly articulate. You are fair and honest, but also pretty egoistic – you usually focus mainly on yourself. You are probably successful in movie, theatre and also in other similar artistic spheres. You also have a sense of finances, and can be successful in this area.

Mercury in 10th house

You are a nice, youthful, pleasant and dynamic person, always on the move. You probably work in commerce, marketing, writing and publishing. You are also often interested in politics. In your life and career, you often change things. You have very good organizational skills, although you can be slightly too demanding and you react too impulsively.

Mercury inconjunct Saturn

You are usually reserved, shy and often untrusting. You value knowledge and respect true authorities, although you perhaps in general don't have the best opinion of the latter. You are often torn between novelties, progress and connecting on one hand and a more conservative outlook, history and tradition on the other.

Mercury inconjunct Uranus

You are usually a clever person and have a very active mind, but sometimes you find it difficult to find the appropriate ways to exploit this potential. Perhaps you are completely enthusiastic about something and invest all your energy into it or your interest is slapdash and dispersed to many areas. You often “search for yourself” and don't find true interest and work “a little bit here, a little bit there”. You sometimes feel misunderstood and because of it, different from other people and although you are sociable, you don't fit in at once and in every company.

Mercury inconjunct Neptune

You have vivid imagination and strong intuition, but because you are sensitive (also to critique and opinions of others), you often withdraw into your dream world and solitude and take on the role of victim, instead of managing to use these potentials and to fulfill many of your plans, which because of this often fall through. Invest energy into something creative and not into running from reality, because you often have a talent for artistic and similar areas.

Mercury square Pluto

You are intensive and impetuous, you have a lot of energy, but you often don't know what to do with it and therefor can act irritably, argumentatively or even violently, especially verbally. You have an ambitious and combative, usually also very competitive character. You are a perspicacious person and not too patient and also not always the most tactful. Because of these characteristics, you can be difficult to other people and have problems in relationships. You are not too adaptable and don't like making compromises, that is also your test, because you need to nurture this.

Mercury sextile Ascendant

You have a pleasant nature, are agreeable and talkative and you usually know a lot of ‘the right people’. People like you a lot because of your open and sociable character. You have no problems expressing yourself and you usually have good rhetorical skills. You are always in motion, one way or the other.
