Ernest Hemingway’s birth chart
Mercury in Leo
21 July 1899, 08:00, Oak Park, IL, USA
A reading speaks to the person it was written for, so this one talks to Ernest 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 Leo
You have a big heart, are honest, dramatic and ambitious. You like to make a good impression and are usually successful achieving this, because others find you a very attractive and interesting person. You often act quite noisily (if your Sun isn't in Virgo or Cancer), you make jokes and are highly articulate. You are fair and honest, but also pretty egoistic – you usually focus mainly on yourself. You are probably successful in movie, theatre and also in other similar artistic spheres. You also have a sense of finances, and can be successful in this area.
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 as rising planet
Because Mercury is found eastern in your personal horoscope, you are dynamic and flexible, agile, swift and resourceful. You are very youthful, both in personality and in appearance. Because you are interested in all sorts of things and are also talented in many areas, it is useful to direct you already in childhood towards constructive use of excessive thinking energy; you are talented in languages, writing, commerce and marketing. You often also have sense of music and painting. You are very restless, yet articulate and it is extremely important to you to get enough movement. You constantly have to do something, both mentally and physically. You like to express yourself, you mostly talk a lot and are sociable and a good company. Because of your audacious attitude towards life, you attract all sorts of people, also more serious ones.
Mercury sextile Neptune
You have good memory and good visualization, vivid imagination and strong intuition. You often have a talent for art (painting, photography, film, music) and like moving in these circles frequently. You are agreeable, interesting, picturesque and usually popular.
