Nature of Mercury: Mercury is adored for bestowment of
blessings of good education, business, sharp intellect, and pleasing
appearance and also to keep off from heat-induced ailments, general
debility and depressions. The planet also monitors the family affairs in
life. It is related to peace of mind, earnings, intellect, education
and business, if it is favorable.
Mercury in Vedic astrology is known as BUDHA, the awakened discriminating intellect and the part of us that knows. Mercury is benefice if associated with benefice grahas, and malefic is associated with malefic grahas. He is known as grahapati, or lord of the planets.
Mercury rules
over two signs of the sidereal zodiac, Gemini(Mithun) and Virgo(Kanya).
He is exalted in Virgo at 15 degrees, and in his fall in the opposite
sign of Pisces(Meen).
Where the Moon
is the innocent mind, Mercury is the intellect that discriminates
between benefic and malefic ideas, or good and evil.
The intellect is neutral and becomes whatever it is associated with. Mercury is learned in behavior. Mercury
is a karaka or indicator of intelligence, commerce, education,
communication writing, books, humor, scholars, thieves and astrologers. Vedic
sage Parasara describes him; “Mercury is endowed with an attractive
physique and the capacity to use words with many meanings. He is fond of
jokes…”
Mercury reaches full maturity at age 32. In
Vedic myth Mercury is born of the Moon. One myth recounts how the Moon,
overcome with lust, abducts Tara, the wife of Brihaspati, or Jupiter.
Out of their union Budha, or Mercury is born. Thus the intellect is born
of the mind.
There is a
relationship of enmity between the Moon and Mercury that belies a deep
truth. The Moon is innocent in its observation, while Mercury is
evaluative and discriminating in its observation.
BUDHA or
MERCURY is considered as the greatest among the wise. This Devata
bestows wisdom and wealth etc. on his devotees. He removes evil thoughts
from their minds.
He is
the chief among GNANIS (realized souls). He is considered Vishnu Rupi,
because of his beauty and resemblance. A prayer to Him, especially on
Wednesdays brings in manifold benefits like removal of all obstacles,
helps one to get a progeny, possession of fertile lands etc.
In the Zodiac
this Devata is the Lord of Mithuna and Kanya. He stays like the Sun, one
month in each Rasi completes the cycle in 12 months, more or less
closely in the footsteps of the Sun. Mercury’s favorite placement is
rising in the 1st House.
His nature is VATA, or Airy. His gem is Emerald and his metal is all form of alloys. His direction is north and his ruling day is Wednesday.
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.
