VEDIC JYOTISHI SHANKAR JI
Mercury is all about developing skills and communication. Internet is ruled by communication hence Mercury placement in any chart is important to see how a native can develop his skills and in what way.
Mercury rules the natural house of growth which are 3rd and 6th while 3rd house Gemini is a dark sign and 6th house the virgo is a sign which is not dark rather it is a good sign.
The reason being that 3rd is all about courage,hands,shoulders while 6th is all about elbows the extention of our shoulders.
Mercury is the prince in the kingdom hence we see that it is close to Cancer(Mother) and also close to father Leo(Sun)..And on the other end he is flanked by Venus in Taurus and Libra.If you see the natural zodiac Mercury is aspected by Jupiter which is the lord of the Pisces and Sagittarius denoting the presence of teacher for a student who want to develop his skills
No where you will find that Saturn and Rahu are close to Mercury nor there is any aspect of these two planets on the signs of Virgo and Gemini. We all know that Mercury is a child and in the presence of a teacher he will learn new things and develop his skills for his future where as the presence of the malefic will destroy the Mercury and can mold him to a different character.
That is reason in Jyotish it is very important to check where the Mercury is placed and see what planets are with him.
Mercury being in 7th is very bad as it would destroy the houses he owns(we need to see what lagna is rising).
7th is the house of partner and spouse while Mercury being a child is not interested in having any sort of relationship as he wants to grow and this where Venus gets debilitated as Venus agenda is entertainment.
Mercury will change its colors depending on its conjunction with other planets and Mercury gets debilitated in the sign of Pisces as he does not liked to be controlled.
Mercury is a prithvi(earth element) graha hence its placement in the sign of water will ensure it will flourish provided he is not placed in MKS and Dusthanas while his placement in the signs of Fire will destroy it and its placement of air will sway him to a different directions.Hence if a person is looking for a good career has to see as to where this Mercury is placed and specially we need to see the KARANA LORD in the D-10 chart as this lord controls all aspects of career.
Mercury is Vishnu and Ganesha hence praying to these devatas will help the person to come out of any issues related to study and career.
When we tallk about devatas Mercury is also connected to goddess Bala Tripura sundari one of the dasa mahavidyas.
Mercury placement in different divisional charts will give us different picture in those areas related to the D-chart..
Emerald is the stone of Mercury which can be worn in Little finger but only after the child birth as this stone is hot in nature and can destroy the ability to have children if worn before the child birth.
This stone can be worn in little finger or in the middle finger but not in ring finger as this finger is associated with fire nature and the little finger with water nature and middle finger with air.
