A reading speaks to the person it was written for, so this one talks to Mickey 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 Libra

You feel best in a calm environment. You are attracted to beauty, aesthetics, also ethics, morals and law. You always strive for balance, you judge things fairly and always take both sides into consideration. You usually act mildly and diplomatically (if, for example, Scorpio is not too strong; or if the Sun or Venus are in this sign). In discussions and debates you act rationally and usually avoid tumultuous, wild and even aggressive environments. The negative side of this position is your indecisiveness, especially in your actions and with accepting responsibility.

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 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 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.
