A reading speaks to the person it was written for, so this one talks to Pierce 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.

You have a talent for accumulating material wealth and also a talent for all things, connected with money in general. You are not enthusiastic about new ideas and need a lot of time to adapt to them. But when you do start doing things or when you finally get excited about something, nothing will stop you from doing it.
