A reading speaks to the person it was written for, so this one talks to Elvis 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.

You are a serious, cautious and responsible person who rarely strives for being in the forefront. You have good organizational, strategic and analytical abilities and do everything with care, step by step and with persistence – you fulfill your goals. You are very ambitious, you respect authority (you will also once become an authority) and knowledge. However, you can experience some difficulties with education at a certain point in your life, because you accept, comprehend and adopt other systems of learning and acting with difficulty – you basically have a quite nonconformist character and work best and easiest by following your own carefully elaborated systems.

Mercury in 2nd house

You direct a lot of your energy into business and money. You often make different deals and have a keen sense of business and can be quite successful in this area. You value wealth and it means a lot to you. You probably work in economics, commerce or in publishing, writing. You often have several different income sources.

You often have a sense of languages, good rhetorical skills and you communicate well with everybody. You are on the road a lot, in one way or another and your connections with people are often successful.

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 opposition Pluto

You are decisive, perspicacious and energetic, you have a strongly working mind and endless mental capacity, but you can be prone to being cynical, too critical and judgmental. You take good advantage of intelligence and perspicaciousness, but you can be cold and impersonal in doing so, also cruel and manipulative. You “protect” by “stinging” in advance. You often oppose to something or someone, you get upset often and know how things should be happening, but with you this often stays at a thinking and verbal level. You need to nurture tolerance and acceptance.

You are pleasant, agreeable and talkative, you usually don't have problems expressing yourself, you have good rhetorical skills and are good in explaining your ideas, so you get good feedback and others are prepared to listen to you.
