2 June 1977, 12:00, Pittsburgh, PA, USA

A reading speaks to the person it was written for, so this one talks to Zachary 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 Taurus

You are stubborn, you always thoroughly examine and consider everything before you decide to act. Things need to be orderly and in their place. You love money, benefits and comforts that money can offer and are cautious with money, but not stingy. You have a talent for accumulating material wealth and also a talent for all things, connected with money in general. You are not enthusiastic about new ideas and need a lot of time to adapt to them. But when you do start doing things or when you finally get excited about something, nothing will stop you from doing it.

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 as culminating planet

Because Mercury is your culminating planet, you are usually very dynamic and incredibly youthful. You are constantly on the road and are always involved in some business; you are successful in marketing, writing, publishing and similar areas. In your work, you help yourself with many connections; you are always on the road and are very sociable, so you know many people who are also willing to help and follow you, because you have good rhetorical skills and can be very convincing. You are very clever and resourceful, you need a dynamic profession, otherwise you start getting bored.

Mercury square Saturn

You are often distrustful and insecure, it is difficult for you to completely relax. That is why you sometimes withdraw into yourself and your inner world, where you engage in dark and depressive thoughts and feed your fears. You are prone to being critical and judgmental, sometimes you have old-fashioned views and are quite prejudice. You need to nurture being relaxed and positively oriented. It is very useful that you work or have contact with earth, nature. When you find contact with yourself, when you relax and start trusting more, you can achieve great success, since you are also very ambitious.

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 conjunction MC

You are sociable and have a good nose for sociable happenings – for 'being at the right place at the right time' (especially if other positions and aspects also contribute to this). You know an enormous number of people and have many friends and acquaintances and many are also useful for you in business sense. You are fast, active and flexible, you do well in basically any area and usually have good sense of business.
