Ingmar Bergman’s birth chart
Mercury in Leo
14 July 1918, 13:00, Uppsala, Sweden
A reading speaks to the person it was written for, so this one talks to Ingmar 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.
