Example 

Mercury in Leo and the 10th House 

I have big thoughts & ideas about my career & public image

Mercury (I Think) in Leo (I will) in the 10th house of career, ambition, profession, and your public standing can translate to I have big thoughts and ideas about my career. When Mercury is in Leo and the 10th house, you think a great deal about your goals and aspirations in terms of your career. You have big dreams and goals and you have more conversations about them with others, especially your boss or mentor(s). You can see the big picture now and make long terms plans for your future and you take a more practical and serious approach to achieving success. 

Aspects 

Aspects, or relationships between planets are another dimension of astrological interpretation that should be considered. Let us say, for example that you have Venus at 2° Scorpio. That would mean that Mercury in 0° Leo is applying a Square to Venus in 2° Scorpio. A square is a type of aspect in which the energy or urge of one planets is squaring off against the energy or urge of another planet. 

Mercury Square Natal Venus can translate to mental laziness in that you just don't want to have to think for yourself so you'll likely engage in mentally light activities that don't require too much thought on your part such as reading a romance novella that is short on plot and heavy on romance or sexual tension. So while you may have big thoughts and ideas about your career, you aren't likely to do anything to implement them if it requires too much work.
