You typically hold high standards for your interactions and are hyper aware of social etiquette, sometimes to the point where you come across as overly proper. For this reason, you may naturally make friends in formal settings that are linked to your career or path to success. Furthermore, you will often take on a leadership role in social dynamics, though not in a flashy or loud way. You tend to enjoy teaching opportunities, as you love to dissect each layer of information within a larger framework.
With Mercury in your tenth house, you can be quite focused on personal success and career advancement. You think about topics in a practical way and have knack at explaining things to people in way that they can easily understand. This makes it quite natural for you to be in a leadership position, because people sit up and listen when you have something to say.
You lead people with your ideas and skills for communication. Teaching, writing or working in media are careers you could excel in. There is an adaptive part of your personality. You know how important it is to change with the times.
Aspects
The specific angles that planets and other objects form with one another at the time of your birth can reveal much about your character, predispositions, and the potential timing for pivotal life events and lessons.
When your birth time is unknown, it significantly impacts the accuracy and detail of a birth chart for several reasons:
Ascendant Sign Unknown: The Ascendant (or Rising Sign) is the zodiac sign that was rising on the eastern horizon at the time of birth. It's crucial for determining the houses in a chart. Without a birth time, the Ascendant cannot be accurately determined.
House Positions Uncertain: Astrological houses represent different areas of life and are calculated based on the time of birth. Without a birth time, the placement of planets in houses cannot be determined, which affects interpretations related to aspects of life like career, relationships, and personal growth.
Moon Sign Ambiguity: While the Moon sign can often be determined without a birth time, if the birth occurred on a day the Moon changed signs, the exact sign may be uncertain without the birth time.
Aspect Angles May Vary: Precise angles (aspects) between planets can indicate specific dynamics and themes in a person's life. Without a birth time, the accuracy of these angles can be compromised, especially for fast-moving planets.
