MERCURY (Budha)
Mercury governs intelligence and therefore rules
such fields as education, literature, communication,
and public speaking. It is associated with the earth
element, cold energy, the color green, agriculture,
travel, and the nervous system. Endowed with
youthful, fast-moving energy, Mercury appears
prominently in the horoscopes of people who are
playful, enthusiastic, and talkative. Mercury also
governs astrologers, clerks, accounts, sculptors,
and any other profession requiring skillful use of
the hands. Mercury enhances the ability to learn
languages, improves memory, and facilitates the
power of speech. People with a strong Mercury
