Mercury in Aries

11 March 1952, 11:10, Cambridge, United Kingdom

A reading speaks to the person it was written for, so this one talks to Douglas 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 Aries

You are a stubborn, dynamic, impulsive and intensive person. You react strongly, make quick conclusions, often argue and quarrel, you love debating, polemicizing and argumenting. You usually have a pretty ambitious character but are also not always persistent enough to fulfill your goals. Of course you are also a person who tends to exaggerate with everything. You usually have trouble seeing things from another point of view.

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 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 square Uranus

You are a very restless person and practically have a constantly active mind; you are extremely intelligent and have endless mind potentials, which you try to take advantage of, but are not always successful, since you act too quickly and slapdash because of your multi-layerness. You are interested in everything, you want to get to all the dimensions of everything. You are very original and inventive, fast and agile, others often follow you and don't always understand you; sometimes you are perceived and seen as being freaky or even eccentric. You can usefully direct the abundance of your intellectual energy to education and science.

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.
