If you know your Latin (LOL – that’s a joke. Do they even teach it in high school any more?), you look at the word ‘dis – aster’ and figure it’s got to mean something about a planet, or asteroid, or out there somewhere. (Or Somewhere Out There – love that song. Great one for astrologers to hum as they calculate charts.)
Well, you’re close. Literally translated from Latin, it’s “ill-starred.”
Put that in your Natal Mercury and think on it.
