बुध (Budh)
One of the Navagraha (nine planets) in Vedic astrology, Mercury governs intellect, communication, business acumen, and analytical ability.
A well-placed Mercury typically supports sharp analytical thinking, strong communication skills, success in business or writing, and adaptability.
An afflicted Mercury is often linked to indecisiveness, communication misunderstandings, nervous tension, and difficulty focusing on one task at a time.
Common remedies include reciting Vishnu Sahasranama, donating green items or moong dal on Wednesdays, wearing emerald (after consultation), and practices that calm mental restlessness such as meditation.
Whether Mercury is genuinely strong or afflicted in your chart depends on its house placement, aspects, and your Dasha period — not on sign alone. A personal consultation confirms this specifically for your birth chart before recommending any remedy.
