What Mercury in Aries means
Aries belongs to Mars, who stands neutral to Mercury. Budha passes through in about sixteen days, and a retrograde phase can hold it here far longer. Fire under a graha of intellect makes thought quick and blunt.
Aries governs the head, initiative and the first act. Mercury in this sign speaks before it weighs. Decisions come fast and want revisiting. Debate, sales and quick negotiation all go well through the stay.
The nakshatras are Ashwini, Bharani and Krittika. Ashwini, under Ketu, suits medicine, travel and rapid learning. Bharani, under Venus, holds the discipline that a plan needs to survive, and Krittika, under the Sun, closes with sharp judgement.
Classical gochara counts Mercury well in the second, fourth, sixth, eighth, tenth and eleventh from the natal Moon. Pisces, Capricorn, Scorpio, Virgo, Cancer and Gemini Moons receive it in those houses. Aries Moons hold it in the first, and Taurus Moons carry it in the twelfth, where communication goes astray.
The stay shows a person the speed of their own speech, and words sent before the thought was finished return for repair. Holding one message overnight before sending it is the practice of the passage. Read anything twice before agreeing.
- Recite Om Bram Breem Braum Sah Budhaya Namah on Wednesday.
- Hold any message written in heat until the next morning.
- Give green gram or green cloth on Wednesday for Budha.
