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 retrograde in your 10th House. It moved into your 11th House on July 12, 1961 at 8:58 AM.

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 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.
