Mercury in Cancer

23 June 1984, 06:55, Bangor, United Kingdom

A reading speaks to the person it was written for, so this one talks to Duffy 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 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 conjunction Venus

You are usually a good-spirited person and have a pleasant nature, are sociable and talkative, you always find a way to express your creativity. You love children, animals, nature and art and often your work (or hobby) is connected to them. You are also skilled in household chores, especially those which are connected to handwork and systematization (e.g. organizing, tidying, putting things in order).

Mercury opposition Jupiter

You are always on the road, constantly learning and exploring, but because of your eager desire for progression and growth (and to know, do and get everything at once), you are often overwhelmed with euphoria and hyperactivity, also inconsistency and you behave in a dispersed way. You are slapdash, eager, restless and nervous, you are always in action and you talk a lot, dramatize and exaggerate, you quickly get upset. You are often prone to consumerism and snobbism. You are interested in everyday events, also tabloids, you participate in debates, you often monopolize the conversation. You need to nurture being attentive and open.

Mercury opposition Neptune

You have vivid imagination and strong intuition, which you don't always manage to use beneficially in important situations and in relationships with others in general. You don't always act clearly and don't always express what you want in a way others would understand. Emotions influence all your relationships, sometimes excessively, since you can be too absorbed in emotions and so distance yourself from the essence and others who are involved and don't see matters realistically. You quickly take on the role of victim. You either excessively idealize others (and relationships) or you criticize them and demand a lot from them. You need to nurture attentiveness and to learn to express yourself and your rich inner world.

Mercury trine Pluto

You are perspicacious, decisive and have exceptional thinking abilities. You have an intuitive character and are a natural psychologist. You quickly realize the essence and you quickly judge situations and in them, react quickly and well. You are factual and realistic, are good in making arguments, that is why you are persuasive and often have a strong influence on others, who value you and trust your opinion and judgments. You have a good ability (mostly of mental) renewal, you are fast, flexible, fluent and coordinated in action and movement. You have numerous plans and goals and also the will and ability to fulfill them.
