7 October 1959, 12:00, Brighton, United Kingdom

A reading speaks to the person it was written for, so this one talks to Simon 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 Libra

You feel best in a calm environment. You are attracted to beauty, aesthetics, also ethics, morals and law. You always strive for balance, you judge things fairly and always take both sides into consideration. You usually act mildly and diplomatically (if, for example, Scorpio is not too strong; or if the Sun or Venus are in this sign). In discussions and debates you act rationally and usually avoid tumultuous, wild and even aggressive environments. The negative side of this position is your indecisiveness, especially in your actions and with accepting responsibility.

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 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 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.
