A reading speaks to the person it was written for, so this one talks to Pablo 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 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 Jupiter
You are always on the road, constantly learning and exploring, but because of your eager desire for progression and growth (and to know, do and get everything at once), you are often overwhelmed with euphoria and hyperactivity, also inconsistency and you behave in a dispersed way. You are slapdash, eager, restless and nervous, you are always in action and you talk a lot, dramatize and exaggerate, you quickly get upset. You are often prone to consumerism and snobbism. You are interested in everyday events, also tabloids, you participate in debates, you often monopolize the conversation. You need to nurture being attentive and open.
Mercury opposition Pluto
You are decisive, perspicacious and energetic, you have a strongly working mind and endless mental capacity, but you can be prone to being cynical, too critical and judgmental. You take good advantage of intelligence and perspicaciousness, but you can be cold and impersonal in doing so, also cruel and manipulative. You “protect” by “stinging” in advance. You often oppose to something or someone, you get upset often and know how things should be happening, but with you this often stays at a thinking and verbal level. You need to nurture tolerance and acceptance.
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.
