16 February 1959, 22:30, Wiesbaden, Germany

A reading speaks to the person it was written for, so this one talks to John 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 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 square Mars

You are restless and always active, your mind is always working. You quickly say things, often without reservations, sometimes you are also argumentative. You quickly get upset when things don't go according to plans. You have a combative and competitive nature. Because of these characteristics, others sometimes find you difficult. You can direct your excessive energy and inner unrest to sport that you are attracted to and often also involved in. You need to nurture tactfulness and patience.

Mercury square Jupiter

You are restless, impetuous, something must always be happening to you. You are talkative, prone to exaggerating and dramatizing and you usually like being in center of attention. You are often drawn on a journey or you make business quickly and without previous thought or plan, that is why you sometimes need to face circumstances that you could otherwise avoid with a more calm and wiser approach and ways. You like being informed and educated, you can find a lot of pleasure in science and research.

Mercury sextile Saturn

You are hard-working, conscientious and responsible. You respect others and understand hierarchy, bosses and co-workers appreciate you. You get along with the young and the old, your acquaintances are often beneficial for you. You are interested in history and similar areas, you are methodical and you value science.

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 inconjunct MC

You are usually sociable and like moving in all sorts of circles, everywhere where something is happening. You can't be still and you mustn't miss anything. You like making acquaintances and businesses, but you don't always have the luckiest hand at choosing both; it happens that you invest a lot of energy, time and even money into something and it later proves to be a sort of “dead end” or it stands on weak foundations. You need to nurture better communication and cooperation with others, especially in business.
