Janis Joplin’s birth chart
Mercury in Aquarius
19 January 1943, 10:08, Port Arthur, TX, USA
A reading speaks to the person it was written for, so this one talks to Janis 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 Aquarius
Mercury is very potent in your sign. You are a very intelligent person, capable of abstract thinking, you think logically, have a vivid imagination and strong intuition. You are original, independent and have a special way of thinking. You don't have a particularly perspicacious nature, quite the opposite – you are often daydreaming, you are constantly in your own world, always contemplating about something and waiting for inspiration and flash of wit. You are interested in knowledge and novelties, the latter you also initiate in numerous areas yourself.
Mercury in 12th house
You have vivid imagination and outstanding skills that are mostly dependent on your well-being and also mood at that particular moment. You are often immersed in deep thought and come across slightly chaotic and impractical, but you also have a very good memory, strong intuition and mostly the ability to understand others, that is why you are often involved in social work. But because you are also (if you want) a very good bluffer, you often work in acting, fashion and art.
Mercury conjunction Venus
You are usually a good-spirited person and have a pleasant nature, are sociable and talkative, you always find a way to express your creativity. You love children, animals, nature and art and often your work (or hobby) is connected to them. You are also skilled in household chores, especially those which are connected to handwork and systematization (e.g. organizing, tidying, putting things in order).
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 Pluto
You are decisive, perspicacious and energetic, you have a strongly working mind and endless mental capacity, but you can be prone to being cynical, too critical and judgmental. You take good advantage of intelligence and perspicaciousness, but you can be cold and impersonal in doing so, also cruel and manipulative. You “protect” by “stinging” in advance. You often oppose to something or someone, you get upset often and know how things should be happening, but with you this often stays at a thinking and verbal level. You need to nurture tolerance and acceptance.
Mercury sextile MC
You are sociable and friendly, talkative and communicative, you make acquaintances easily and they are often beneficial for you. You are clever and curious, you learn quickly and you often improve in life. You often know how to use the right approaches with the right people, you have sense of business, you like doing business and do it often.
