Mental alertness

[Guest guest]

I have been thinking about the astrological indicators for the

presence/lack of mental alertness and clarity? What are the indicators

of torpor, confusion, mental exhaustion, lethargy, carelessness? I

realize that afflictions to Mercury, Moon, 5th house and lagna are

responsible for these. What has been the experience of the Gurus? What

remedial measures should be used to overcome the negative tendencies of

the mind.

Best wishes,
