A reading speaks to the person it was written for, so this one talks to Gillian 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 1st house

You are successful in commerce, marketing, writing, publishing, etc. You are resourceful, skillful and clever, you are always on the lookout for new possibilities and also use these possibilities very well. You are interested in science, medicine, literature, architecture, etc. You are a sociable, easy-going and restless person.

Mercury trine Saturn

You are usually active, enterprising and ambitious. You are decisive and know what you want, you also most often know how to find ways and paths to fulfill your goals as well. You understand hierarchy and respect authority. Reputation is important to you, you appreciate settled matters, tradition and history, are perceptive of novelties and new ways and paths. You always try to realize your ideas and plans and you often succeed in doing so, because besides persistency, you also have a good sense of time and course of things, of “right actions at the right time”.

Mercury square Neptune

You are restless, sensitive and often quickly change your mood. You are moody, you often seem dispersed and unorganized, that is why you seem confused and chaotic on the outside. You have a very vivid imagination and strong intuition, which you don't always take advantage of well or do it in the “wrong” way.

Mercury conjunction Ascendant

You are usually a pleasant, open, sociable, communicate and talkative person. This is also why you have a big circle of friends and acquaintances. You have a restless nature and you never stop, you are constantly in movement and action, both in body and mind. You think, speak and act quickly, sometimes without thinking. You are curious and interested in everything, but you often bit off more than you can chew and so tend to be nervous sometimes.
