 Mercury in Astrology

 

Mercury is known as the prince and messenger of the zodiac. This is the one planet that moves in a retrograde phase a maximum number of times in a year. It gets into a retrograde mode every three months. In astrology, Mercury indicates communication, media, siblings, cousins, wisdom, intelligence, humor, writing skills, reasoning ability, and nerves. This planet is always near to the Sun, so we can find Mercury most of the time in a combust mode. Mercury is known as a winged messenger or celestial messenger in western astrology. This is very small yet it represents key things in astrology. 

 

Vedic Story Behind the Birth of Mercury

The Moon which is known as Chandra or Soma in Vedas went to Brihaspati, ie, Jupiter, to learn the Vedas. There he stayed with Brihaspati according to the Guru Kula tradition. There he saw Brihaspati’s wife Tara and both fell in love with each other. The Chandra took Tara to his abode and they had a son together, it is the planet Mercury or Budh. He is also known as Soumya as the Moon is known as Soma.

 

Brihaspati, fought for his wife and he brought her back, but when he knew the child is not his, he cursed the child to be neuter. So, in astrology, Mercury is neither a male nor a female planet. 

In the Vedas, there are two stories. Chandra gave Mercury to Rohini and she is the stepmother for Mercury, another version says, Chandra gave Mercury to the nakshatra Jyeshta. So, both the nakshatras have special privilege as the Moon gets exalted in the sign of Taurus where Rohini is placed. Jyeshta is the eldest among all the nakshatras, the meaning of Jyeshta itself indicates “The elder sister” Mercury is also the planet for duality.

 

Mercury owns two signs in astrology, they are Gemini and Virgo. Both the signs are dual and Mercury gets exalted in Virgo.

 

Mercury rules Wednesday and its direction is north. In astrology, if Mercury is on the north side, then it is strong. Its color is green and it’s good to wear green clothes to improve your Mercury. It takes around fifteen days to cross one sign.
