A reading speaks to the person it was written for, so this one talks to Michael 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.

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.
