20 July 1980, 12:00, Rio Grande, Brazil

A reading speaks to the person it was written for, so this one talks to Gisele 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 9th house

You are an enthusiastic person, always learning and questioning, you are interested in travels (over the world) and have true cosmopolitan views. You are always doing something, always studying, you are always interested in something new, you have an eternally young spirit and fresh ideas. You are also interested in philosophy, psychology, religion and similar areas. You probably have strong connections to foreign countries.

Mercury as culminating planet

Because Mercury is your culminating planet, you are usually very dynamic and incredibly youthful. You are constantly on the road and are always involved in some business; you are successful in marketing, writing, publishing and similar areas. In your work, you help yourself with many connections; you are always on the road and are very sociable, so you know many people who are also willing to help and follow you, because you have good rhetorical skills and can be very convincing. You are very clever and resourceful, you need a dynamic profession, otherwise you start getting bored.

Mercury trine Uranus

You are fast, clever, original and inventive, often intelligent above average. You are skillful, active, flexible and are constantly doing something. You are always creating something, constantly improving and educating, always discovering new paths and ways, always looking into the future. You are altruistic, you try to improve the world and can also receive positive feedback, because of your good ideas which you often successfully present to others and others are willing to follow or at least help you on your path and with your efforts, although – because you are often simply “a bit ahead of time” – you are not always understood right away.

Mercury inconjunct Neptune

You have vivid imagination and strong intuition, but because you are sensitive (also to critique and opinions of others), you often withdraw into your dream world and solitude and take on the role of victim, instead of managing to use these potentials and to fulfill many of your plans, which because of this often fall through. Invest energy into something creative and not into running from reality, because you often have a talent for artistic and similar areas.

Mercury square Pluto

You are intensive and impetuous, you have a lot of energy, but you often don't know what to do with it and therefor can act irritably, argumentatively or even violently, especially verbally. You have an ambitious and combative, usually also very competitive character. You are a perspicacious person and not too patient and also not always the most tactful. Because of these characteristics, you can be difficult to other people and have problems in relationships. You are not too adaptable and don't like making compromises, that is also your test, because you need to nurture this.

Mercury conjunction MC

You are sociable and have a good nose for sociable happenings – for 'being at the right place at the right time' (especially if other positions and aspects also contribute to this). You know an enormous number of people and have many friends and acquaintances and many are also useful for you in business sense. You are fast, active and flexible, you do well in basically any area and usually have good sense of business.
