Mercury in Leo
7 August 1876, 13:00, Leeuwarden, The Netherlands
A reading speaks to the person it was written for, so this one talks to Mata 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 Leo

You like to make a good impression and are usually successful achieving this, because others find you a very attractive and interesting person. You often act quite noisily (if your Sun isn't in Virgo or Cancer), you make jokes and are highly articulate. You are fair and honest, but also pretty egoistic – you usually focus mainly on yourself. You are probably successful in movie, theatre and also in other similar artistic spheres. You also have a sense of finances, and can be successful in this area.

You have an ambitious and combative, usually also very competitive character. You are a perspicacious person and not too patient and also not always the most tactful. Because of these characteristics, you can be difficult to other people and have problems in relationships. You are not too adaptable and don't like making compromises, that is also your test, because you need to nurture this.

It is advisable that you write (or create in similar areas), even if merely for yourself, so that you can “pour your thoughts onto paper” and learn to articulate your thoughts, also make a selection between useful and useless information.
