A reading speaks to the person it was written for, so this one talks to Robert 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 1st house
You are successful in commerce, marketing, writing, publishing, etc. You are resourceful, skillful and clever, you are always on the lookout for new possibilities and also use these possibilities very well. You are interested in science, medicine, literature, architecture, etc. You are a sociable, easy-going and restless person.
Mercury inconjunct Mars
You have a restless spirit, you are prone to being nervous and irritable and are not always the most coordinated person. Sometimes you act too fast and too enthusiastically, sometimes you indulge in laziness or passiveness; you can have a big mouth and argue, or also behave uninterested and dim. In your mind, you can have realized fantastic plans and inventive ways, but you disable them or make paths to fulfill them harder with your thoughtless or senseless actions.
Mercury opposition Jupiter
You are always on the road, constantly learning and exploring, but because of your eager desire for progression and growth (and to know, do and get everything at once), you are often overwhelmed with euphoria and hyperactivity, also inconsistency and you behave in a dispersed way. You are slapdash, eager, restless and nervous, you are always in action and you talk a lot, dramatize and exaggerate, you quickly get upset. You are often prone to consumerism and snobbism. You are interested in everyday events, also tabloids, you participate in debates, you often monopolize the conversation. You need to nurture being attentive and open.
Mercury conjunction Saturn
You are usually a very organized, methodical and systematical person. All your actions are guided by your accurate and disciplined mind, nothing is left to coincidence. This aspect also brings excessive self-restraint and sometimes rigidity in your thinking and acting; you accept other models of thinking and acting with difficulty. You often worry and dwell in dark thoughts, you find it difficult to relax.
Mercury square Uranus
You are a very restless person and practically have a constantly active mind; you are extremely intelligent and have endless mind potentials, which you try to take advantage of, but are not always successful, since you act too quickly and slapdash because of your multi-layerness. You are interested in everything, you want to get to all the dimensions of everything. You are very original and inventive, fast and agile, others often follow you and don't always understand you; sometimes you are perceived and seen as being freaky or even eccentric. You can usefully direct the abundance of your intellectual energy to education and science.
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.
