Mercury
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 Cancer in your 9th House. It moved into Leo on August 6, 1941 at 1:58 AM UTC and moved into your 10th House on August 15, 1941 at 9:56 AM UTC.

An individual with their natal Mercury in Cancer usually demonstrates a high level of emotional awareness, as their empathic nature is intertwined with their analytical side, for better or worse.

At times, your feelings can hinder your ability to think and communicate rationally; in other words, your mood can easily determine what comes out of your mouth. Still, this does give you a more intuitive way of approaching life, which can make you very insightful when it comes to complex emotional dynamics. In group settings, Mercury in Cancer placements usually take on a caregiving role – they engage in conversation through listening and holding space for others.

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.
