A reading speaks to the person it was written for, so this one talks to Richard 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 Sagittarius
You have a very lively, active and dynamic character, you are always somehow on the go and this also includes your emotional growth. You always go forward, are interested in novelties, other perspectives and views, although you cannot see the world differently than from your own perspective. You expect a lot from relatives and friends, are in good relations with all people, although you aren't very diplomatic. You probably work in professions that are in some way or the other connected to travelling and foreign countries.
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 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.
