18 April 1947, 11:30, Vernal, UT, USA

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.

Mercury conjunction Mars

You are usually am impetuous, passionate person of restless spirit, you are always active and you love speed. You think and react quickly; you are constantly in action, with body and mind. You are usually also very talkative, your tongue is sometimes faster than your thought, that is why you need to nurture tolerance, patience and calmness, because you can hurt others with your ways and so can sometimes have problems communicating with others.

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 opposition Neptune

You have vivid imagination and strong intuition, which you don't always manage to use beneficially in important situations and in relationships with others in general. You don't always act clearly and don't always express what you want in a way others would understand. Emotions influence all your relationships, sometimes excessively, since you can be too absorbed in emotions and so distance yourself from the essence and others who are involved and don't see matters realistically. You quickly take on the role of victim. You either excessively idealize others (and relationships) or you criticize them and demand a lot from them. You need to nurture attentiveness and to learn to express yourself and your rich inner world.

Mercury trine Ascendant

You are friendly, open and pleasant, agreeable, sociable and talkative and are mostly popular because of your positive energy, easiness, openness and sociable nature. You have countless friends and acquaintances with whom you have good relationships and with whom you nurture contacts, often they can in some way also be beneficial for you. You think quickly, are extremely literate, you express without difficulty, you usually have good rhetorical abilities and good vocabulary. You are fast and restless, flexible and dynamic, you are always in action and in movement, you love travels (although shorter ones).
