About the Mercury Astrology Course

In traditional Vedic astrology, Mercury is known as Budha and is associated with intellect, speech, communication, learning, writing, calculation, logic, analytical thinking, and commerce. Its interpretation commonly considers its sign, house, dignity, house lordship, conjunctions, aspects, combustion, retrogression, and relationship with other horoscope factors. Mercury traditionally rules Gemini and Virgo and is described as exalted in Virgo and debilitated in Pisces.

This course introduces these concepts as part of a traditional belief system rather than scientifically established prediction. Learners are encouraged to compare chart factors carefully, avoid isolated conclusions, and communicate interpretations with balance and respect for individual circumstances.
