Phil Collins’s birth chart
Mercury in Capricorn
30 January 1951, 12:05, London, United Kingdom
A reading speaks to the person it was written for, so this one talks to Phil 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 8th house
You are intuitive, perspicacious and have a strong spirit. You think quickly and have a good memory, you indulge in deep thoughts and are deep engagement in a particular matter. You are interested in everything that is mysterious and unusual. You often work in science, detective business, psychology, economy or in a profession that in some way deals with money or real estate.
Mercury square Neptune
You are restless, sensitive and often quickly change your mood. You are moody, you often seem dispersed and unorganized, that is why you seem confused and chaotic on the outside. You have a very vivid imagination and strong intuition, which you don't always take advantage of well or do it in the “wrong” way.
Mercury inconjunct Pluto
You are usually intelligent and insightful, you intuitively perceive the essence of the situation, but despite this you don't act and judge best in these situations, because you too often make conclusions based only on yourself and don't consider other circumstances and don't always adapt to them well. Although you have a lot of thinking energy and a perspicacious nature, you often don't distinguish between what is important and what is useless, so you can be inspecting some completely meaningless and unnecessary things, as if under a microscope.
Mercury inconjunct Ascendant
You are usually restless and sociable, you like moving. You have a curious nature, you are interested in news and gossip, you are everywhere where there is happening. You are constantly in action and often on the road (although merely on short trips). You calm down with difficulty and are not always patient. If things don't go fast enough or are not interesting enough and don't offer you the right challenge, you get tired of them and focus on something else. You like making acquaintances and businesses, yet they sometimes don't give you a satisfying result. You need to nurture better communication and cooperation with others, also calmness and persistence.
