Mercury in Taurus Sidereal
Budha in Vrishabha: teaching a doctrine, giving, working tirelessly, respecting one's teacher; same reading in Tula.
Passing on a doctrine, even preaching it: that is how the portrait begins. Budha is in Vrishabha, the sidereal Taurus ruled by Shukra. You communicate what you believe true and you give willingly. Earning your living keeps you busy without a break. You honor your teacher, and sometimes your parents too. Perhaps you kept the number of the person who trained you twenty years ago, and you still call them. This whole portrait applies equally to Tula, Shukra's other sign.
Shukra rules this sign. To read the sign itself, open Taurus sidereal; to read all about Budha, see the Budha guide.

Why is my Mercury not in the same sign as in Western astrology?
The sidereal zodiac of Vedic astrology is shifted by about 24 degrees from the zodiac of the seasons: most planets move back one sign. Calculating your Vedic chart gives you their true place.
