If you are experiencing difficulties in decision-making, communication problems, or consistent business losses, the position of Mercury in your horoscope might be the cause. In astrology, Mercury is considered the primary significator of intellect, speech, reasoning, education, and commerce. It is also known as the prince of planets.
A weak Mercury can affect memory, lead to poor judgment, and hinder communication skills. Astrologers recommend specific remedies on Wednesdays to strengthen Mercury in such cases.
9 Key Indicators of Weak Mercury
1. Forgetfulness: Weak memory and quickly forgetting what one has learned.
2. Speech impediments: Stammering, stuttering, or using incorrect words.
3. Poor decision-making: Frequent indecisiveness and making wrong choices.
4. Excessive anxiety: Mental stress and unnecessary fear or apprehension.
5. Obstacles in business: Particularly losses in communication and writing-related businesses.
6. Skin and nervous disorders: Numbness in hands and feet or skin allergies.
7. Lack of rapport with others: Misunderstandings in conversations.
8. Academic problems: Lack of interest in studies or inability to understand subjects.
9. Dull personality: Lack of self-confidence and social distance.
7 Effective Remedies to Strengthen Mercury
1. Mantra recitation: On Wednesdays, recite the mantra “ॐ ब्रां ब्रीं ब्रौं सः बुधाय नमः” or “ॐ गण गणपतये नमो नमः” 108 times.
2. Wednesday fast: Wear green clothes, consume green gram, and worship Tulsi (holy basil).
3. Donate: Donating green gram, green vegetables, green bangles, and green clothes is particularly beneficial.
4. Offer Durva grass and Tulsi to Lord Ganesha: Mercury is also associated with Ganesha.
5. Wear an Emerald gemstone: Wear an emerald gemstone in a silver or gold ring on the little finger on a Wednesday, but consult an astrologer for a kundali analysis first.
6. Perform cow service: Feed green fodder to cows on Wednesdays. This pleases Mercury.
7. Speak truthfully and read Vishnu Sahasranama: Stay away from lies, gossip, and negative speech. Pure speech pacifies Mercury.
The Influence of Mercury's Mahadasha
If Mercury's Mahadasha (major period) begins in someone's horoscope, it lasts for about 17 years. If Mercury is retrograde or in a debilitated sign (like Pisces), its influence is not favorable. However, its adverse effects can be mitigated through appropriate remedies. If you are troubled by the symptoms mentioned above, consult an experienced and knowledgeable astrologer to examine your horoscope.
By adopting simple remedies related to Mercury, you can strengthen your speech, business acumen, and intellect. According to astrology, success dawns only when speech and wisdom are pure, and the path to this is through Mercury.
