Guest guest Posted September 20, 2005 Report Share Posted September 20, 2005 Dear Professor, I was thinking about Mercury and that it is colored by and assumes the qualities of planets it is conjunct or aspected by, as read in your books too. " Mercury takes upon itself the qualities of the planets with which it is associated " . I have a few questions about that Say Mercury Venus are conjunct within 5 degrees 1) Would Mercury take up Qualities of Venus in addition to its own? 2)Would the Qualities be general qualities or/and also qualities of the the MT and Functional nature? 3) If Venus is a FM and is conjunct a Strong FB Mercury Marginally(5% influence) i:e Mercury is not afflicted in anyway, is such a case how would be the qualities of planet that Mercury assumes? 4) Is Mercury the only planet that assumes the quality of other planets in conjunction ? Looking forward to your answers, and appreciate your time. Love and Respect Amit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted September 20, 2005 Report Share Posted September 20, 2005 Dear Professor, Thank you for your replies to my email that was also about Mercury. Amit has raised the issue of Mercury taking up qualities of the planets it conjuncts with. According to the SA book, Mercury should be a FB for Capri, but what if it is conjunct with the Sun, the MMP? Would that make it also be a FM like the Sun? You see, I do not understand your answer to Amit, so I will rephrase the question: 1) Would FB Mercury when ruler of 6th (not moolitrikona) and conjunct the Most Malefic Planet act as a FM? 2) How would Mercury act being ruler of 6th (not MT) and conjunct the Most Malefic Sun? 3) If Mercury is the MT ruler of 9th - so apparently very benefic for a Capri - but Funct Malefics Jupiter and Ketu are occupying its 9th house whilst Mercury is placed in the bad 6th house conjunct with the Sun, would this mean that this poor Mercury is weak because: a) conjunct (not combust) the 8th lord Sun; b) it is in the bad 6th house (though it is the lord of the 6th); c) Its Moolitrikona is invaded by funct malefics Jupiter and Ketu plus Rahu aspects it: How would Functional Benefic nature of Mercury, a planet that takes others nature, stay the same Functional Benefic with so many bad influences surrounding him? Thanks again, dear Professor, R. --- siha wrote: > > Hello dear Amit, > > I add my replies in capitals to your message. > > Best wishes, > > > > - > " amit_patnaik6 " <amit_patnaik6 > > Tuesday, September 20, 2005 10:42 AM > Mercury and Doubts > > > > > > Dear Professor, > > > > I was thinking about Mercury and that it is colored by and assumes > > the qualities of planets it is conjunct or aspected by, as read in > > your books too.

Guest guest Posted September 20, 2005 Report Share Posted September 20, 2005 Dear Professor, As an extension to the questions on mercury raised by RPM and Amit, What happens when Mercury is a FM and closely conjuncts a functional benefic? In my case being a Libra Ascendant FM mercury is in the ninth house and closely aspects moon. Does it mean it will take on the general significations of the moon and have an influence on it? Being a MMP I was wondering what kind of influence it might have?

Guest guest Posted September 20, 2005 Report Share Posted September 20, 2005 Hello PNR, The impact of Moon on Mercury is here two fold. One is the general nature of the Moon on Mercury - tenderness, public relations, interaction - the way you participate on the list. The second part is the influence of MMP Mercury on the Moon. It causes obstructions/damage to professional ventures/job in general and specially during the sub periods of the Moon and Mercury.

Guest guest Posted September 20, 2005 Report Share Posted September 20, 2005 Dear Sir, Many thanks for taking the time to reply. I think my understanding is much better now. I am running the Mercury Mahadasha since '94. You are right about the sub period of mercury, that is when my professional problems started. It improved in between but again from the Venus sub period there were only obstructions and it hasn't improved since. I still have a long way to go before I get a grip on this subject. I think Astrology is a very context sensitive subject and our understanding also has to be contextual to have a clear picture.
