A reading speaks to the person it was written for, so this one talks to James 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 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.
