Ever wondered how effortlessly your colleague communicates in the office? How your friend can easily strike up conversations with strangers? While others can express themselves better, some find it difficult. All your concerns related to communication and intellect are governed by the planet Mercury.
Significance of Mercury in Vedic astrology
An auspicious planet that is a factor of expression, intelligence, and logic, Mercury is deemed very important in Vedic astrology. While Sun and Venus are friends of Mercury, the moon and mars are not. Saturn is on neutral terms with Mercury. The day for worshipping and strengthening Mercury is Wednesday.
Mercury bestows the person with intelligence that does not limit to logical and analytical thoughts. It gives the person enough wits to face all hurdles in life with utmost strength.
What does Mercury represent in Vedic Astrology?
Other than signifying communicative and analytical ability, it is the Karak planet of the nervous system, nose, navel, skin, chest, hair, face, lungs, nerves, gall bladder, tongue, and arms. If in any way it has a malefic effect, it may result in psychological issues, dizziness, paralysis, typhoid, cholera, seizure, ulcers etc.
Natives born under the strong influence of Mercury will always appear younger than their biological age. Despite an average height, their body will always appear well-formed and slender.
