22 March 1931, 04:00, Montreal, Canada

A reading speaks to the person it was written for, so this one talks to William 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 Aries

You are a stubborn, dynamic, impulsive and intensive person. You react strongly, make quick conclusions, often argue and quarrel, you love debating, polemicizing and argumenting. You usually have a pretty ambitious character but are also not always persistent enough to fulfill your goals. Of course you are also a person who tends to exaggerate with everything. You usually have trouble seeing things from another point of view.

Mercury in 2nd house

You direct a lot of your energy into business and money. You often make different deals and have a keen sense of business and can be quite successful in this area. You value wealth and it means a lot to you. You probably work in economics, commerce or in publishing, writing. You often have several different income sources.

Mercury square Jupiter

You are restless, impetuous, something must always be happening to you. You are talkative, prone to exaggerating and dramatizing and you usually like being in center of attention. You are often drawn on a journey or you make business quickly and without previous thought or plan, that is why you sometimes need to face circumstances that you could otherwise avoid with a more calm and wiser approach and ways. You like being informed and educated, you can find a lot of pleasure in science and research.

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 sextile Ascendant

You have a pleasant nature, are agreeable and talkative and you usually know a lot of ‘the right people’. People like you a lot because of your open and sociable character. You have no problems expressing yourself and you usually have good rhetorical skills. You are always in motion, one way or the other.

Mercury trine MC

You are pleasant, agreeable and talkative, you usually don't have problems expressing yourself, you have good rhetorical skills and are good in explaining your ideas, so you get good feedback and others are prepared to listen to you. You are dynamic and sociable, also popular and have good sense of relationships with “the right people” and also a good nose for business. You are curious and eager to learn, also enterprising and ambitious and know well that you have to use your brain to succeed and also sometimes work hard, but that good contacts can also be useful.
