29 July 1960, 21:20, Nice, France

A reading speaks to the person it was written for, so this one talks to Didier 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 Cancer

You are a very sensitive and daydreaming person with vivid imagination and an unusual sense of humor. You have a very good memory. Other people influence you easily, because you are susceptible to external influences that you absorb like a sponge. Your thinking, your conclusions and decisions usually have a sentimental tone. You are probably interested in history, ethnology, art, poetry and similar areas. A lot of your energy is focused on home, family and your loved ones. You are very successful in artistic professions and professions with a social note.

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 inconjunct Jupiter

You are very curious and eager to learn, you appreciate knowledge and like being well informed about everything, yet you often spend too much energy for trivialities and ballast. You can be prone to hoarding and consumerism, also to snobbism. You like exaggerating and dramatizing. Your plans, goals and visions are not consistent with your procedures, ways and methods.

Mercury opposition Saturn

You are often torn between the new and the old; between progress and globalization on one hand and tradition, history and things being settled and tested on the other. In youth, you often associate with elders or more experienced people than you and learn a lot from them, although you constantly contradict them (because you don't always have the best opinion of authorities and also not relationships with them), through life and experiences you also put yourself in opposite role and have numerous contacts with young people or you become more perceptible to all possible approaches.

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.
