A reading speaks to the person it was written for, so this one talks to Peter 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 Capricorn

You are a serious, cautious and responsible person who rarely strives for being in the forefront. You have good organizational, strategic and analytical abilities and do everything with care, step by step and with persistence – you fulfill your goals. 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.

Mercury in 6th house

You are a very methodical and organized person who is universally engaged, enterprising, hard-working and efficient. You are probably interested in literature and writing and are very talented in these areas. Perhaps you also work in profession, connected to health and medicine, you are also interested in science. You are usually creatively active in two (or even more) completely different areas.

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. As a rule, you have a gift of articulation and so have good rhetorical skills, you also pass on your knowledge in a quality and interesting way. You are intelligent and funny, you like novelties and constant happening and you love travelling. You are always somehow on the road, you are interested in everything and you learn something new out of every situation, which is beneficial for you in the future.

Mercury conjunction Venus

You are usually a good-spirited person and have a pleasant nature, are sociable and talkative, you always find a way to express your creativity. You love children, animals, nature and art and often your work (or hobby) is connected to them. You are also skilled in household chores, especially those which are connected to handwork and systematization (e.g. organizing, tidying, putting things in order).

Mercury inconjunct Uranus

You are usually a clever person and have a very active mind, but sometimes you find it difficult to find the appropriate ways to exploit this potential. Perhaps you are completely enthusiastic about something and invest all your energy into it or your interest is slapdash and dispersed to many areas. You often “search for yourself” and don't find true interest and work “a little bit here, a little bit there”. You sometimes feel misunderstood and because of it, different from other people and although you are sociable, you don't fit in at once and in every company.

Mercury square MC

You are restless, constantly in action and always on the thinking prowl, you want to get the most out of everything. You are constantly learning, improving yourself and gaining experiences, then you also use what you have learned. In the desire for happening, novelties and progression, you are sometimes even too enthusiastic, because you are very enterprising and ambitious and make numerous acquaintances, also many businesses (often the two are connected), which doesn't always bring the desired effects. To others, you seem too quick, slapdash and therefore unreliable, you are also unreliable, which can make your relationships more difficult, especially in business. You need to nurture attention, persistency and consistency.
