A reading speaks to the person it was written for, so this one talks to Joan 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 Capricorn

You are a serious, cautious and responsible person who rarely strives for being in the forefront. You have good organizational, strategic and analytical abilities and do everything with care, step by step and with persistence – you fulfill your goals. You are very ambitious, you respect authority (you will also once become an authority) and knowledge. However, you can experience some difficulties with education at a certain point in your life, because you accept, comprehend and adopt other systems of learning and acting with difficulty – you basically have a quite nonconformist character and work best and easiest by following your own carefully elaborated systems.

Mercury in 5th house

You are a very creative person, of dramatic character and vivid imagination, you also have good organizational or pedagogical skills. You do very well in artistic professions, in film, on stage and in show business; amidst directors and actors. Because of your energetic approach, convincing way of expression and popularity, you have good pedagogical skills.

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 inconjunct Ascendant

You are usually restless and sociable, you like moving. You have a curious nature, you are interested in news and gossip, you are everywhere where there is happening. You are constantly in action and often on the road (although merely on short trips). You calm down with difficulty and are not always patient. If things don't go fast enough or are not interesting enough and don't offer you the right challenge, you get tired of them and focus on something else. You like making acquaintances and businesses, yet they sometimes don't give you a satisfying result. You need to nurture better communication and cooperation with others, also calmness and persistence.
