A reading speaks to the person it was written for, so this one talks to Marlene 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 4th house

You are a rather calm, economical person and you learn easily. You cherish good family relations and (if other factors in your horoscope don't indicate differently) you have trust in your family ties, your family usually supports you and offers you a lot of help. You probably originate from a wealthy family. You are interested in history, archeology, art and also philosophy, psychology and social work.

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).
