While they both have Mercury in Sagittarius, the first person (Sun in Capricorn) will have a much more reserved communication style than the second person (Sun in Sagittarius). You may be tempted to assume that both of the individuals are 'outspoken.' But, say the first person has the Sun in Capricorn, while the second person has the Sun in Sagittarius. For example, say that two individuals both have Mercury in Sagittarius (denoting something of a 'big mouth'). Of course, you will be tempted to stop at one or another of the planetary meanings, and think that it is the defining factor of a person. If you do that, you will, undoubtedly, be in error. This means that you cannot take one piece of the chart (for example, Mercury in Sagittarius) and decide that it defines the entire person. Each separate bit must be synthesized into one whole picture of the person. A natal chart abounds with bits and pieces of information about an individual. The entire chart must be taken as a whole. The most important thing to remember while interpreting any birth chart is: synthesis.
