6 January 1955, 12:00, Newcastle upon Tyne, United Kingdom

A reading speaks to the person it was written for, so this one talks to Rowan 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 10th house

You are a nice, youthful, pleasant and dynamic person, always on the move. You probably work in commerce, marketing, writing and publishing. You are also often interested in politics. In your life and career, you often change things. You have very good organizational skills, although you can be slightly too demanding and you react too impulsively.

Mercury sextile Mars

You have an active, enterprising, dynamic and flexible character. You are skillful, you react quickly and you adapt to every situation. You are flexible and coordinated and you know how to accumulate physical and mental energy well. You often have a good sense of rhythm and are interested in sports.

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 sextile Saturn

You are hard-working, conscientious and responsible. You respect others and understand hierarchy, bosses and co-workers appreciate you. You get along with the young and the old, your acquaintances are often beneficial for you. You are interested in history and similar areas, you are methodical and you value science.

Mercury opposition Uranus

You have exceptional intellectual abilities and you are usually intelligent and capable of abstract thinking, however, you do sometimes sort of distance yourself from others and lose contact with the world and reality. Because of your multifacetedness and exceptional width, those around you often don't understand you or you are sort of “before your time”. Because you don't always have the right feedback, since others can't always keep up with you, you then withdraw into your own world even more and distance yourself from others and can be caught in a vicious circle. You need to find the right way to express your inventive and original ideas, so you can be useful also to others, although not always at that particular time.:)

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.
