These persons are often gifted with maternal intelligence (it is not relevant whether mother is educated or not, because many a mother are very intelligent in their own right even without formal education). It is so because from 10th house Mercury has direct and full drishti on the 4th house, which rules, besides other aspects, mother too.

As far as possible they avoid indulging in tantrik' system (black-magic kind of systems), though they are good at suggesting making of gold or silver or copper and steel `yantras' (talismans) and also the method of worshiping the `yantras' In spite of their knowledge of the religious scriptures and connected means and methods, they normally avoid officiating as a priest at any marriage or sacred thread ceremony, first hair-cut ceremony (known as mundan' in Hindu society), nor as a priest at last rites.

Mercury in the 3rd House of Horoscope being the Lord of Education-Vedic Astrology

Mercury being the Lord of Education

Mercury being the lord of education, affects rather adversely such students as those who make excuses in studies, get lower grades, and failures.

 These results are all the more inferior if Aries, Cancer or Capricorn is in the 3rd house. Mercury here positively gives a tendency for lethargy but very convincing arguments or reasoning for non-working, working in piecemeal manner, working with diverted attention and half-heatedly. 

These individuals are generally fond of reading books, periodicals, or even text-books reclining on a couch, sofa, arm-chair or even lying in bed. These individuals are quite attached and affectionate to brothers and sisters, but when call comes for help or support or assistance of any kind, the response is often late, when more or less it becomes unwanted.

Mercury individually are good in making excuses.

 These individuals are good in making excuses and stories of any kind for lapse or failure, and often quite convincingly too. However they have neat and sturdy handwriting, they somehow gain command on language and expression, even on writing speeches and songs infusing bravery and boldness, though they themselves are not good at physical fighting, irrespective of their physical built. 

They generally avoid working long hours at a stretch, but they see to it that they complete the assigned or undertaken job or work within the anticipated time limit. These individuals have no hesitation in cutting cheap jokes and having light (sometimes bordering on erotic or vulgar) talks.

Mercury in the 2nd House of Horoscope rules on your Occupation-Vedic Astrology

Mercury rules on your Passion

Mercury rules literature, poetry, writing, lecturing, preaching, priest-hood, journalism, account keeping, copy-writing, copying manuscripts, trading in stationery and all kinds of paper, printing on paper or on cloth. Mercury is further directly concerned with architectural drawings, mechanical drawings, drawings connected with ordnance and weapons, any other kinds of drawings, cartoons, caricatures, taking and giving autographs, writing of stories, dialogues and songs for films and allied areas like TV-serials, episodes etc. 

Mercury encourages the individual for writing descriptions of photographs, paintings, functioning as examiner of written tests, conducting interviews and viva-vice, written submissions in courts of law or any legal forum, in taxation offices. And on top of all, Mercury is directly concerned with piracy of literature or any other material on any of the above mentioned subjects. 

According to Astrologer Vinayak Bhatt "The 2nd house pertains to collections, to accumulation and accounting of wealth of any kind and in any shape. Thus Mercury in the 2nd house gives accumulation of any or many of the items and elements mentioned above and also gaining wealth from those sources."

 Depending upon Mercury's association with other planets

 Second house being concerned with collection of any of the above items, it also points to building a library of own or managing the library of any office, institution, school or college or university, and thus includes the job of librarian. Many learned scholars are fond of collecting books and literature, magazines etc. on all subjects, including account keeping.

 Depending upon Mercury's association with other planets. preparation of or making use of forged documents or examination of forged documents is also the domain of Mercury. However, note that making false statements, denying any statement once made, giving false evidence, fallacy, perfidy. perjury are also qualities of Mercury. 

Mercury's position in the 2nd house.

These are being mentioned under the 2nd house, because when any kind of gain or benefit or profit or advantage is connected with indulging in any of these acts, the 2nd house becomes relevant. Professional witnesses in courts or connected with searches and seizures by any agency of government fall under Mercury's position in the 2nd house. Suppliers of antedated stamp papers or forged documents or forged signatures for any kind of gain or advantage are also covered by Mercury in the 2nd house. 

This shouldn't mean that Mercury has a wicked position in the 2nd house. No, just the contrary. Mercury is a soft planet and always very helpful in gaining knowledge and experience by reading and writing. But it can give malicious results too, morose when in the company of hard planet or when the lord of the 2nd house is connected with any act of malice or falsehood.

Position of Mercury in the 8th House.

Specialty of Mercury in the Occupation.

This specialty applies also to teachers, tutors, journalists, petition writers, written work on the desk of advocates, solicitors, accountants, astrologer, story and dialogue writers in the film line. The written work of these persons becomes more or less stereo-typed, copy or a repetition of past work of others or themselves, and they do not hesitate to indulge in piracy, even openly. 

If they are typists, stenographers, clerks and juniors assigned to drafting or copying, they do not hesitate to keep work pending and going in arrears unless someone is rigidly supervising their work. If these people have a speaking job like that of teachers, professors, lawyers, advocates, taxation representatives, they generally try to be brief in their submissions and arguments, teachings and lectures, even if some salient and important points get left out.

These individuals do not hesitate in suppressing a matter by destroying material written evidence, replacing genuine papers, documents by false or forged or fictitious ones, at the same time denying their earlier written or oral statements or submissions or evidence.

Mercury in the 7th House of Horoscope-Vedic Astrology

Working of Mercury in the 7th House. 

Hello Everyone,

It is one of the best positions for Mercury. We already know that the 7th house rules marriage, married life, opposite sex partner in life. The 7th house concerns many other elements too, which have been detailed earlier. The subjects concerning the 7th house chiefly concern love affair, and the beloved or the lover, sexual tendency and sexual capacity or lack of sexual capacity (partial and complete, curable or incurable). 

Reason of Failure of Marriage.

The 7th house also concerns buying and selling, confrontation, quarrel, fight, settlement in a foreign land, wound or injury at the hands of or at the instance of competitor, opponent, adversary, and enemy. The success or failure of a marriage (failure includes separation by circumstances, separation because of maladjustment, divorce, death, due to a third person angle in the married life, or due to character-angle of the spouse) are ruled by 7th house. 

Similarly, lower abdomen, genital area (and any injury to it or any defect or deficiency thereof), sex-related diseases are the domain of the '7th house. Also, encouraging the spouse towards immorality for any kind for personal benefit, or because of deficiency in self, marriage of convenience, contract marriage for a fixed period, taking a mistress or paramour, spouse encouraging or leading the marriage partner towards illegal sexual relations with others are other subjects of the 7th house. 

Further litigation, natural or developed tendency towards illegal activity, criminal tendency are also ruled by the 7th house. This enumeration of subjects under the fold of the 7th house is repeated for sake of immediate attention and to serve as a reminder. 

 How Mercury work alone with Bad Effects.

When Mercury is alone in the 7th house, it normally gives normally good and beneficial results. Mercury could give, in some rare cases, harmful results when any planet has direct drishti on Mercury from the 12th house. The only bad effect of Mercury in 7th house is that if it is in a Rasi owned by Mars or Saturn (and sometimes the one owned by Sun too), it gives the individual a tendency to blackmail others by writing anonymous letters.

Mercury does this to harm a person, or even to favor of a person. The individual might indulge in making bogus-telephone calls, or sending mischievous message on e-mail. If a woman has Cancer in the 7 house (apart from the Rasis mentioned above), she might indulge in some type of blackmail for one reason or the other. Normally, Mercury in the 7th house gives a person an educated life partner or a friend of the opposite sex.

Mercury's attributes.

If the partner is not educated, she or he would be intelligent, worldly wise and would have or develop very good understanding of human nature. The spouse might be a writer, poet, journalist, astrologer or palmist or in any other profession or career mentioned under Mercury's attributes.

Mercury in the 6th House of Horoscope-Vedic Astrology

Mercury in any House.

Hello Everyone. 

 In dealing with influence of Mercury in any house, remember that Mercury is an innocent, non-harming, non-violent planet. It doesn't indulge in any harmful activity, at the most it helps blackmail, forgery, and threats by spoken and written word.

In ancient times, there was a saying that an educated enemy is better than a foolish friend. This saying applies in its totality to the effect of Mercury in the 6th house. This house rules mainly enemies, opponents, adversaries, competitors, also illnesses and diseases. 

 Mercury in the 6th house adversely affects the intelligence.

In so far as illness is concerned, Mercury in the 6th house adversely affects the intelligence, wisdom, thinking faculties of an individual. And if Mercury in the 6th house has the association of Moon in the 6th, 8th or the 12th house from the Ascendant, Mercury can help Moon in causing touch of fickle-mindedness, indecisiveness and a not-so sharp memory. 

If Moon is extra harmful being in waning trend or under pressure of hard planets, then this association between Mercury and Moon might lead the individual to partial insanity. Full insanity would depend upon Navamsha and Saptansha charts too, as also family history for the last at least three generations of ancestors, or physical or sexual association with an insane person for quite some time. It has been observed that in case of partial or complete insanity or loss of memory by any accident, hard beatings, illness caused by association between Mercury and Moon, the remedy for recovery lies in medical treatment.

Religious and spiritual remedy should be undertaken first for Moon and then, when signs of recovery start appearing in the individual, similar remedy should be undertaken for Mercury too, along with that of Moon. 

Mercury doesn't cause the death.

Mercury does not cause death, even if brain hemorrhage has taken place for any reason whatsoever. Mercury helps the cause of an individual slipping into coma, but if other stars responsible or capable of causing death are not interfering, it might be hoped that the patient would fully or partially recover from the state of coma. Mercury is responsible to a certain extent for eccentricity or delirium before actual death, but even then Mercury doesn't cause the death. 

Then comes the question of education, studies, and students. Firstly, the students do not pay enough and un-diverted attention to their studies. They are not hard working; do not attend to their homework or written work fully and properly; depend more on copying from the work of other students. When they take resort to copying and other unfair means in the examination, they get caught, and get punished also, unless they have background support of money or influence. 

Mercury in 6th house is capable of giving differences of opinion with mother's paternal family, and if Mercury is in Pisces, Taurus, Leo, or Aquarius, the differences might lead to actual enmity. If Mercury happens to be lord of the 3rd or the 12th house, the maternal family might cause loss of ancestral assets of the individual.

 Mercury is lord of written word

 Mercury is lord of written word too, which means that the individual takes extra interest in preparation of petitions, writs, appeals, representations, applications, statements for others or on behalf of self or spouse, required for submission before any court, legal-forum, taxation-authority, police or investigating agency etc. The individual might introduce considerable falsehood or bitterness in such written word; indulge even in forgery knowingly and intentionally. And if the individual loses his or her plea, it is taken as a big defeat and loss of face. In rare cases, the defeated individual takes resort to writing anonymous letters with false or true allegations against the person responsible for his or her defeat or failure. 

Weak points of Mercury 

These individuals have faith in spiritual powers and influences and troubles caused by them, with the result that they either take resort to mantra, yantra and tantra themselves, or go to such experts or quacks who claim efficiency in such matters etc. Further, these individuals are sometimes highbrow and consider themselves as master of all knowledge and take resort to mantra, tantra etc. without introduction to it by a 'guru' (a teacher and a practical guide combined), which tendency quite often ends in harm to them. It is often so in any `upasana' (religious remedy) related to Goddess Durga or Bhairava or any Yakshini. Unfortunately, these individuals think that all the knowledge is given in the books and therefore there is no need for a 'guru', which is not a correct.

 Another weak point of persons with Mercury in 6th house is that they are not prompt and regular in keeping accounts, for self as well as for their business, venture, self employment;even when they are employed from memory-keeping, often they try to manufacture accounts from memory , and mistake creep in , damaging the system.

Mercury in the 5th House of Horoscope-Vedic Astrology

Importance of Mercury in the 5th House

Hello Everyone ,

This is one of the important houses for Mercury; it can be said  that Mercury and Jupiter function as the real masters of this  house. The 5th house concerns intelligence, education, capacity and training for management, pregnancy, progeny, expertise, mental smartness, safe-and-smooth or difficult-and-painful childbirth, and upbringing of the progeny up to the age of 13 years. 
Mercury rules intelligence, and wisdom, learning, experience, education, capacity to grasp, imagination, guess-work, threading the missing links, analysis, collection of information and statistics. Thus it will be seen that 5th house and Mercury are made for each other. 

Mercury in any Birth-chart and its Relationship.

Always consider the placement of Mercury in any Birth-chart and its relationship with the 5th house, and at the same time, consider the Saptamansh chart also, irrespective whether it is the horoscope of a male or female. However, the fact be remembered that memory is basically ruled by Jupiter, but Mercury too is directly connected with memory in the sense that if a matter has not been grasped, it hasn't gone into the mind, and so there is no question whatsoever of memory. 

Qualities like writing, speaking, literature, journalistic reporting, editing, translation, and oratorship are all ruled by Mercury, and Mercury alone. Even knowledge of any future-telling sciences, including astrology and palmistry, are the domains of Mercury. No one can become a good and impressive speaker, whether in private conversation or public speaking, without the favourability of Mercury. It has been observed that it is immaterial what Rasi is in the 5th house;

Presence of Mercury in the Wealth .

Mercury's mere presence is enough to make a person exceptionally intelligent and capable of grasping a matter or a situation in the first instance itself. If Aries, Gemini, Leo, Virgo, Libra, Sagittarius or Pisces be in the 5th house, the person could become a writer, poet, journalist, professor, teacher, preacher, priest without any restriction of religion, faith or cult. However, Mercury is not very effective in so far as drishti (aspecting) is concerned. 

From 5th house, Mercury would have direct drishti on the 11th house, which concerns income. Mercury would not influence the 11th house to any great extent inspite of its direct drishti on the 11th house from the 5th house.

One can often find learned scholars, authors, poets, editors, dialogue-writers for films, professors, teachers, priests and preachers in rather tight or hand-to-mouth financial position, often depending on others for financial help, for medical treatment and marriages in family. 
Though, in modern times things have changed, but in not so distant past, there was a common saying where there is wealth, there is not much of education, and where there is vast education, there's not of much wealth.
