Mercury
Effects and Remedies
In astrological parlance Mercury has been understood as
an externally variable, vacillating, convertible, neutral and dualistic planet.
Mercury reflects the mentality of an individual, governs the reaction to our
senses and impressions and rules over the central nervous system. As an
intellectual planet it represents intelligence, genius, analytic power and
reproducibility.
Mercury is the smallest planet of the solar system. The
author of Lal Kitab has compared mercury with a bat, which keeps hanging upside
down and pounces upon the face of a child at the first opportunity. The native
fails to understand anything and meanwhile the mysterious and mischievous
mercury turns the cycle of fortune in the reverse gear. Mercury produces the
effects of the planet or planets it is associated with. Mercury is considered
malefic in the 3rd, 8th, 9th and 12th houses. Rahu gives bad results in 1, 5,
7, 8 and 11th houses. If mercury and Rahu both are in their auspicious houses
then Mercury causes havoc in the natives houses and produces disastrous result
like putting the native behind the bars or creating troubles of the same sort.
Mercury is considered auspicious in the 1, 2, 4, 5, 6 and the 7th houses and
gives bad results when placed in the 3, 8, 9, 10, 11 and 12th. Its colour is
green and moon is its enemy. Sun Venus and Rahu are friends, whereas mars,
