What Mercury in Aquarius means
Aquarius belongs to Saturn, who stands neutral to Mercury. Budha passes through in about eighteen days, and Saturn's airy house suits a graha of intellect well. Thought turns abstract and impersonal during the stay.
Aquarius governs the calves and ankles, gains, friendship and shared causes. Mercury in this sign favours research, systems and work done with a group. Ideas come from unusual directions, and warmth in conversation is harder to reach.
The nakshatras are Dhanishta, Shatabhisha and Purva Bhadrapada. Dhanishta, under Mars, opens with public effort. Shatabhisha, under Rahu, is the most original stretch and suits medicine, research and hidden knowledge. Purva Bhadrapada, under Jupiter, closes with severity of thought.
Classical gochara counts Mercury well in the second, fourth, sixth, eighth, tenth and eleventh from the natal Moon. Capricorn, Scorpio, Virgo, Cancer, Taurus and Aries Moons receive it in those houses. Aquarius Moons hold it in the first, and Pisces Moons carry it in the twelfth, where the thinking turns inward.
The stay shows a person how they keep distance through ideas. An argument made from principle alone can hold a person at arm's length. Saying the simple, personal thing costs more here and is worth more. Research goes far during Shatabhisha.
- Recite Om Bram Breem Braum Sah Budhaya Namah on Wednesday.
- Take up research or unusual study during Shatabhisha.
- Say one plain, personal thing where an argument would be easier.
