Mercury / Budh
Mercury is the planet of intellect and communication. It can be seen in the morning
and evening as a shining star – and sometimes even during the day because of its

power of radiation. Mercury is the smallest planet of our solar system.
Mercury rules education, writers, lecturers, artists, teachers, traders, businessmen,
the nervous system, lungs, and intestines. It rules intelligence, speech, selfconfidence,
humor, wit, astrology, mathematics, and short journeys.
Mercury rules the zodiacal signs Virgo and Gemini. Friends of Mercury are the Sun,
Venus, Rahu, and Ketu, Mars, Jupiter, and Saturn are neutral to Mercury, and
Mercury maintains enmity with the Moon.
It works well with Ashlekha, Jyeshtha, Revati, Rohini, Hast, and Shravan nakshatras
and gives auspicious results. It gives inauspicious results in Adra, Svati, Pushya,
Anuradha, Chitra, and Magha nakshatras.
It gives its best results when its native is between thirty-two and thirty-five years of
age.
When ill-aspected, Mercury gives chronic dysentery, constipation, lack of digestive
fire, lung diseases, asthma, restlessness, kidney problems, fear, neurosis, and
madness.
Our Opinion
Mercury's benevolent influence will keep a person in god stead in relation to family,
society and occupation linked with accounting and education. It also makes you
lovable and favourite among your relatives. May Mercury help and bestow you with
all the good ways, we wish.
