Auspicious and Inauspicious Yogas Formed by Mercury in Kundali
Mercury or Budh, has a significant role in Vedic astrology. Mercury is a karaka planet of intelligence, communication, quick thinking, problem-solving, arithmetic and friendship. The planet is considered to be very auspicious. Therefore, if Mercury is in an exalted position along with other benefic planets in an individual’s birth chart, he or she gets favourable results. However, if Mercury is in a debilitated position along with malefic planets, it may give unfavourable results to the individual.
The indications of conjunction are determined based on the presence of Mercury with other planets in the Kundali. While some are favourable conjunctions, some are unfavourable. Here, we will learn about the yogas that are formed due to the conjunction of mercury with other planets in your kundali and their impact. We will also learn about the remedies to eliminate the bad effects and strengthen the positive effect of Mercury in your Kundali.
Impact of Mercury on Individuals
According to Vedic astrology, if Mercury or Budh is positioned in the first house of an individual’s horoscope, which is in Lagna Bhav (ascendant house), then he or she will have an attractive personality and will be successful all through their professional life. Moreover, if Mercury is strong and positive in the horoscope, the person will be good at winning the hearts of others using their communication skills.
Similarly, if Mercury is unfavourably positioned in an individual’s horoscope, he or she may have to undergo a stressful life, both mentally and physically. However, there are remedies to reduce the ill effects of the planet and strengthen its good effects. For the correct guidance, you should consult a learned astrologer here.
Also, Mercury in different houses gives different results. Additionally, its conjunction with other planets and position in your horoscope also influences the results. Therefore, you should take guidance from an expert astrologer for correct analysis and remedies.
Religious Significance of Mercury
Planets have a special place in Sanatan Hindi Dharma and each one is associated with a god or a goddess. Therefore, Mercury too is considered a deity and is believed to be the karaka of knowledge, intelligence, communication and prosperity. Mercury is the benefactor of intelligence, prosperity and communication; all these qualities are represented by Bhagwan Ganesh. Additionally, Mercury is also represented by Shri Hari Vishnu, the preserver of the universe. There is a tradition of worshipping Mercury on Wednesdays when you can worship both Vishnu and Ganesh. Worshipping Mercury or the deities associated with Mercury is beneficial in improving your intellect, removing obstacles, gaining success in academics, business and career, etc.
