Mercury in Aries
30 March 1945, 20:45, Ripley, United Kingdom
A reading speaks to the person it was written for, so this one talks to Eric 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 7th house
You are a very sociable person and you actually fell that something is missing, if you are not in company. You have a very nice, well-mannered and attractive character. You often have the most different relationships (also love relationships). Sometimes, Mercury in such position also indicates that you have a younger partner or a partner from a different environment or one with more flexible values and who follows the same relationship models as you.
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 Ascendant
You are dynamic, restless, always active and in motion, mentally and physically. You are prone to being nervous and can be moody, changeable, distant and slapdash, also too fast and too quick, jerky and inarticulate. You like being surrounded by people and you move in places, where there is happening, but you aren't always the most sociable and approachable person; you often avoid more in-depth contacts. Sometimes you have difficulty expressing yourself, because you can't articulate your scattered thoughts and often also have some speech impediment (e.g. stuttering).
Mercury square MC
You are restless, constantly in action and always on the thinking prowl, you want to get the most out of everything. You are constantly learning, improving yourself and gaining experiences, then you also use what you have learned. In the desire for happening, novelties and progression, you are sometimes even too enthusiastic, because you are very enterprising and ambitious and make numerous acquaintances, also many businesses (often the two are connected), which doesn't always bring the desired effects. To others, you seem too quick, slapdash and therefore unreliable, you are also unreliable, which can make your relationships more difficult, especially in business. You need to nurture attention, persistency and consistency.
