I used to have speech issues when I was younger , but slowly but surely started to improve for the better. I used to stutter bad in my elementary days to the point of other kids noticing. For some reason, I always thought that I had to get my thoughts out really fast so people could understand me. LOL. It was like my mind and thoughts were moving faster than my speech pattern when speaking!
I only stutter now when i'm excited about something , but I can usually catch myself in the act before it gets too bad. Some people i've met don't even notice and they're shocked when I tell them that I had this problem in the past.

However, now i'm studying in college to become a speech therapist because of all of these reasons that i've went through.
Therefore, Growing up i've learned to just take my time when speaking because speaking is something that is delicate to me in a sense.

My mercury is not really afflicted in my chart that much , so I don't know if that could be a reason. I know that my mercury in Gemini has a lot to do with my speech pattern. I can talk really fast and just skim the surface of things. My mercury falls in the ninth house. I think having my mercury in the 9th house made me find my truth in a way and search for things on my own. I can also teach myself things as well.

I do have a mercury inconjuct neptune and uranus, so maybe this could be a factor to as well.

I actually did suffer from an extreme stutter between the age of 2 to at least 11. It has improved considerably and when I am calm, I am absolutely fine. However, if I am angry... I find that this is when it tends to come out more.

This may be perhaps why I find it alot easier to write my thoughts and feelings, because I feel more in control of what I am putting out. I am more coherent.

If I had another life, I would also be a speech therapist.

I didn't realise how much communication meant to me until my father lost his ability to communicate as a result of a stroke. As a result of my experiences growing up, I feel that I am the only one patient enough to actually sit and listen to him when he struggles to get his sentences out.
