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 9th house

You are an enthusiastic person, always learning and questioning, you are interested in travels (over the world) and have true cosmopolitan views. You are always doing something, always studying, you are always interested in something new, you have an eternally young spirit and fresh ideas. You are also interested in philosophy, psychology, religion and similar areas. You probably have strong connections to foreign countries.

Mercury sextile Venus

You are pleasant, usually sociable and communicative, you also have a fun and witty character and people usually like you because of it. You often move in artistic circles. You have open views, many acquaintances and contacts, who can help you towards progress and success. You often have a sense of business and money.

Mercury conjunction Mars

You are usually am impetuous, passionate person of restless spirit, you are always active and you love speed. You think and react quickly; you are constantly in action, with body and mind. You are usually also very talkative, your tongue is sometimes faster than your thought, that is why you need to nurture tolerance, patience and calmness, because you can hurt others with your ways and so can sometimes have problems communicating with others.

Mercury conjunction Jupiter

You are usually a nice, sociable person of wide views. You have big thinking capacities, are very eager to learn and you learn easily, you are curious and bright, you are practically interested in everything. You are always striving for progress and fulfillment, you highly value knowledge. You are talkative, you like exaggerating and dramatizing. Because you are impetuous, others sometimes find you to be difficult, but you are also popular thanks to your natural charm.

Mercury inconjunct Saturn

You are usually reserved, shy and often untrusting. You value knowledge and respect true authorities, although you perhaps in general don't have the best opinion of the latter. You are often torn between novelties, progress and connecting on one hand and a more conservative outlook, history and tradition on the other.

Mercury inconjunct Neptune

You have vivid imagination and strong intuition, but because you are sensitive (also to critique and opinions of others), you often withdraw into your dream world and solitude and take on the role of victim, instead of managing to use these potentials and to fulfill many of your plans, which because of this often fall through. Invest energy into something creative and not into running from reality, because you often have a talent for artistic and similar areas.

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 trine Ascendant

You are friendly, open and pleasant, agreeable, sociable and talkative and are mostly popular because of your positive energy, easiness, openness and sociable nature. You have countless friends and acquaintances with whom you have good relationships and with whom you nurture contacts, often they can in some way also be beneficial for you. You think quickly, are extremely literate, you express without difficulty, you usually have good rhetorical abilities and good vocabulary. You are fast and restless, flexible and dynamic, you are always in action and in movement, you love travels (although shorter ones).
