30 April 1982, 12:00, Point Pleasant, NJ, USA

A reading speaks to the person it was written for, so this one talks to Kirsten 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 Taurus

You are stubborn, you always thoroughly examine and consider everything before you decide to act. Things need to be orderly and in their place. You love money, benefits and comforts that money can offer and are cautious with money, but not stingy. You have a talent for accumulating material wealth and also a talent for all things, connected with money in general. You are not enthusiastic about new ideas and need a lot of time to adapt to them. But when you do start doing things or when you finally get excited about something, nothing will stop you from doing it.

Mercury in 10th house

You are a nice, youthful, pleasant and dynamic person, always on the move. You probably work in commerce, marketing, writing and publishing. You are also often interested in politics. In your life and career, you often change things. You have very good organizational skills, although you can be slightly too demanding and you react too impulsively.

Mercury sextile Venus

You are pleasant, usually sociable and communicative, you also have a fun and witty character and people usually like you because of it. You often move in artistic circles. You have open views, many acquaintances and contacts, who can help you towards progress and success. You often have a sense of business and money.

Mercury trine Mars

You are usually intelligent, fast, decisive and perspicacious. You have a lot of inner strength and energy and know how to maintain balance between thinking paths, plans and your abilities, possibilities. You are very flexible, dynamic, coordinate, adaptable and fluent. You are always planning something and often put the plans into action, because you are skillful and inventive and often have good rhetorical skills and are persuasive with passing on your ideas. You have a sense of “being at the right place at the right time”. You are active, you like to move and discover new paths. You are interested in sport and are often also involved in it, you usually have a good sense of rhythm.

Mercury opposition Uranus

You have exceptional intellectual abilities and you are usually intelligent and capable of abstract thinking, however, you do sometimes sort of distance yourself from others and lose contact with the world and reality. Because of your multifacetedness and exceptional width, those around you often don't understand you or you are sort of “before your time”. Because you don't always have the right feedback, since others can't always keep up with you, you then withdraw into your own world even more and distance yourself from others and can be caught in a vicious circle. You need to find the right way to express your inventive and original ideas, so you can be useful also to others, although not always at that particular time.:)

Mercury inconjunct Neptune

You have vivid imagination and strong intuition, but because you are sensitive (also to critique and opinions of others), you often withdraw into your dream world and solitude and take on the role of victim, instead of managing to use these potentials and to fulfill many of your plans, which because of this often fall through. Invest energy into something creative and not into running from reality, because you often have a talent for artistic and similar areas.

Mercury inconjunct Pluto

You are usually intelligent and insightful, you intuitively perceive the essence of the situation, but despite this you don't act and judge best in these situations, because you too often make conclusions based only on yourself and don't consider other circumstances and don't always adapt to them well. Although you have a lot of thinking energy and a perspicacious nature, you often don't distinguish between what is important and what is useless, so you can be inspecting some completely meaningless and unnecessary things, as if under a microscope.
