A reading speaks to the person it was written for, so this one talks to Oscar 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 Scorpio

You are an intensive and perspicacious person, capable of quick judgment and quick (relentless) judgments and conclusion. You have a mistrusting and suspicious personality, you think a bit feverishly, you are meticulous and usually always guess or figure out the real meaning or the hidden background of things. You often work as detective, explorer, scientist and also surgeon.

Mercury in 3rd house

Mercury feels very good in the third house and can express its influence here very well. You are intelligent, skillful, eager to learn and you learn easily, you are very perceptive for novelties and have many different hobbies. You like making new acquaintances and friends and as a rule get along with everybody and feel well in all sorts of environments.

Mercury in domicile

You are usually skilled in businesses of Mercury; communication, commerce, writing, speech, etc. You are fast, agile, resourceful and adaptable, also devious and cunning.

Mercury inconjunct Saturn

You are usually reserved, shy and often untrusting. You value knowledge and respect true authorities, although you perhaps in general don't have the best opinion of the latter. You are often torn between novelties, progress and connecting on one hand and a more conservative outlook, history and tradition on the other.

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 trine Neptune

You are usually pleasant, agreeable, emotional and compassionate. You are creative, clever, you have good memory, also a natural feeling of organizing and processing facts, information and vibrations from the environment. You have vivid imagination and exceptional intuition, which you often manage to use and take advantage of very well. You are often an artistic soul who is able to express very well creatively (often you have talent for music and painting). Because of these characteristics, others find you interesting and attractive. You often have a good nose for business and usually rely most on your feeling, despite the circumstances.

Mercury sextile Ascendant

You have a pleasant nature, are agreeable and talkative and you usually know a lot of ‘the right people’. People like you a lot because of your open and sociable character. You have no problems expressing yourself and you usually have good rhetorical skills. You are always in motion, one way or the other.

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.
