Myth and role
Budha is said to be the son of the Moon god Chandra and Tara, wife of Jupiter. He was so brilliant that the gods quarreled over whose son he was from the moment of his birth — and he became the god of intellect and speech.
In Vedic astrology Mercury governs intellect, speech, writing, trade, and negotiation. It is seen as a mediator that gets along with any planet.

Everything so far is fixed by your date of birth alone. The 27 birth stars depend on where the Moon was at the moment of birth, so they need a birth time to be certain.
