4. Mercury: The
Education, learning and the prince.
Amongst all the planets
Mercury is nearest to Sun which completes a circle around the Sun in 88 days
and diameter of Mercury is about 3,200 miles. It was usually portrayed as a
youth, flying with wings at his feels, bearing a caduceus made of olive wood
about which were twined serpents, the rod being surmounted with a pair of
wings. This symbol represents the essential qualities of the planet, duality,
speed and wisdom. According to Hindu mythology Mercury is said to be the son of
Moon. Mercurial people generally have a youthful appearance.
The influence of the
planet Mercury is neutral, dualistic, cold, moist, sexless and convertible. He
gives favourable results when he is in good association and receives benefic
aspects. Mercury can rarely be seen with naked eye as he is never goes more
than 28o from the Sun. He is treated as combust or burnt up and
loses great deal of its ability whenever comes within 8.5o degrees
of the Sun, His best influence can be felt when leaving the Sun. Mercury rules
that part of the intellect which is susceptible to cultivation through study,
precept, observation and imitation. Mercury, tongue, sense of sight,
perception, understanding, interpretation and expression. He deals with
traveling, touring job, teaching, clerkship, speaking, writing, printing,
publishing, literature, stationery, secretaries, book-keeping, correspondence,
mailing etc.
If Mercury is well placed
in the horoscope, the natives make good linguists, orators, writers, reporters,
teachers, secretaries, accountants, etc., being fully capable of maintaining
any position where adaptability, dexterity, perception, skill, quick wit,
imagination and good memory are required. Natives usually conduct their work in
an orderly, methodical, systematic and handy manner being adept at simplifying
arrangements. Mercury shows the type of mentality one is endowed with, as he
governs the reaction to one’s sense and impressions. Being an intellectual
planet, the Mercurian is highly intelligent, ingenious and analytical. He will
grasp the subjects very quickly. He gives the native retentive power and
reproductive ability. A well placed and well aspected Mercury represents a
subtle political brain and intellect, a logician with learning and discretion.
A person influenced by
Mercury will have curiosity to master of occult sciences also. He will be
versatile, good in mathematical calculations, engineering, accounts etc. If
Mercury is afflicted, the native will be clever, cunning and mischievous. He
will turn out to be a great gambler, the worst liar and a conceited showy
person. He will pretend as though he knows everything while actually he is
devoid of real learning. The affliction of Mercury will also cause excess
nervous activity both of body and mind. There is also consequent effect on the
health detrimental to the operation of bowels and other organs under the
dominion of this planet. In relationships, Mercury is the chief governor for
education and uncle.

debilitation point is 15o in Pisces sign. In Virgo sign the first 15o
part is his exaltation portion, from 16o to 20o portion
