Mercury dictates your communication style, intellect, and thought processes. The sign Mercury occupies shows how you think, learn, and express your ideas. Its house placement reveals the areas of life where you apply your mental energy and seek information. This combination highlights how you interact with the world intellectually and the domains of life where your communicative skills are most active.
When you were born, Mercury was
in Taurus in your 9th House.
It moved into your 10th House on May 5, 1981 at 5:46 AM UTC and moved into Gemini on May 8, 1981 at 2:43 AM UTC.
People with their natal Mercury placed in Taurus are often slow and methodical communicators who appreciate thoroughness and functionality. You may prefer to engage in conversations about very practical matters, such as the weather or the stock market. You are less likely to be interested in subjects that are too abstract or philosophical. Still, this combination can have a creative side to it, as it can make for a resourceful individual who works well with their hands.
Finally, people with Mercury in Taurus placements have a tendency to befriend others through outdoor or physical activities, such as camping or hiking, but may also enjoy hobbies such as cooking and gardening.
With Mercury in your ninth house, your mind is full of wonder for the world. You feel a fascination for every corner of the universe. There is nothing you aren’t curious about. You can easily get lost in thought and amazement and your mind is brimming with expansive ideas.
Sometimes you let your imagination run wild and come up with the exciting schemes. You love to be in conversation with people who stimulate you mentally, and you really enjoy discussing topics such as history, art, philosophy and culture. There is nothing you love more than learning.
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.
