3.33 Mercury as Lowest Degree (LD) for a Female

1. Significance in Love and Friendship

Ø Mercury, as the Karaka (signifier) for love and friendship, plays a crucial role in a woman's romantic life when it holds the lowest degree in her chart.

2. Intense Lovers

Ø Women with Mercury as the LD are known to be intense and passionate lovers,

Ø This comes to the fore, especially during the dating period and before marriage.

3. Post-Marriage Shift

Ø After marriage, the romantic influence of Mercury diminishes as the husband takes on the role of Mars or Jupiter.

Ø Consequently, the intense love felt during courtship tends to fade.

4. Increased Expenses

Ø Post-marriage, these women might cause significant expenses for their spouses, possibly due to their changing interests and responsibilities.

5. Different Dynamics for Males

a. For men, the wife is represented by Venus, a friend of Mercury, thus this particular effect does not typically manifest.

b. The dynamics in male charts with Mercury as LD are different due to the Venusian influence.

3.34 Mercury and Venus ascendants (Jupiter Impact)

1. Afflicted Jupiter is a must for Positive Outcomes

Ø For individuals with Mercury or Venus signs as Lagna, Jupiter needs to be afflicted (placed in the 3H, 6H, 8H, or 12H) to yield beneficial results.

Ø Jupiter, if in Kendra (1H, 4H, 7H, or 10H) or Kona (5H or 9H) positions may not yield favourable outcomes.

Ø This principle should be verified in individual charts to understand how Jupiter's placement affects the overall results for those with Mercury or Venus as the Lagna Lord.

3.36 Bullet Points for Mercury in Varga Charts

Planets in Divisional (D) Charts aid in understanding the promises indicated in the main birth chart (D1) concerning the specific areas signified by each divisional chart.

Let us examine how Mercury influences events in D9 (Navamsa Chart) and D10 (Dasamsa Chart) for a couple of scenarios.

1. Mercury in D9 (Navamsa Chart) Lagna

Ø This Indicates potential instability in marital harmony.

Ø If counselling is sought soon after marriage, check if Mercury is in the Lagnamsa of D9.

Ø This also implies inadequacy in conjugal bliss, necessitating appropriate corrective action.

2. Mercury in D10 (Dasamsa Chart) Lagna or 10H

Ø This is an essential placement for astrology students.

Ø The extent of success in astrology depends on Mercury's connection with the Lagna or Lagna Lord.

3. Mercury-Moon (Add on)

Ø If Mercury and Moon are positioned in the 1H and 7H, particularly in the Navamsa chart, it may indicate potential instability in marriage due to their rulership over the 3H, 6H, and 4H of KPC.

4. To remedy any issues related to marital harmony, it is advisable to worship Lord Vishnu/Narayana, especially alongside Goddess Lakshmi, on Wednesdays and during the S’ravana Nakshatra.

5. This remedy is especially beneficial for individuals whose Navamsa chart shows Mercury in the 1H, 3H, or 7H, which could pose challenges to marital bliss unless mitigated by benefic influences like Jupiter or Venus.

6. The recommended remedy involves prayer and performing a Homa (fire ritual) using Rig Vedic Pavamana Suktam and Manyu Suktam, preferably conducted in a temple dedicated to Vishnu/Narayana. It is essential to engage a qualified Vedic pundit for this ritual.

7. It is important to note that if one has already overcome these challenges through the grace of other planets or divine blessings, this remedy may not be necessary.
