9 October 1940, 18:30, Liverpool, United Kingdom

A reading speaks to the person it was written for, so this one talks to John 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.

You are an intense and insightful person, capable of quick and (relentless) judgments and conclusions. You have a mistrusting and suspicious personality, you think a bit feverishly, you are meticulous and usually always guess or figure out the real meaning or the hidden background of things. You often work as a detective, explorer, scientist and also surgeon.

Mercury in 7th house

You are a very sociable person and you actually feel that something is missing, if you are not in company. You have a very nice, well-mannered and attractive character. You often have the most diverse relationships (also love relationships). Sometimes, Mercury in such a position also indicates that you have a younger partner or a partner from a different environment or one with looser values who is open to the same kind of relationships.

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 opposition Saturn

You are often torn between the new and the old; between progress and globalization on one hand and tradition, history and things being settled and tested on the other. In youth, you often associate with elders or more experienced people than you and learn a lot from them, although you constantly contradict them (because you don't always have the best opinion of authorities and also not relationships with them), through life and experiences you also put yourself in opposite role and have numerous contacts with young people or you become more receptive to all possible approaches.

Mercury square Pluto

Because of these characteristics, you can be difficult for other people and have problems in relationships. You are not too adaptable and don't like making compromises, that is also your test, because you need to nurture this.
