LAL KITAB PREDICTIVE TECHNIQUES LESSON 83, MERCURY IN LAL KITAB

MERCURY

Mercury is the lord of vegetation & greenery
When lord of the house, where Mercury is placed, is placed in 9H, that planet will literally become defung & may not give any good results
When Mercury is conjunct well placed planet, it gives good results but if conjunct ill placed planet, Mercury gives very bad results. When Moon & Rahu are fighting with each other, Mercury results are also spoiled. Native with bad Mercury should perform Mercury remedies like nose piercing, teeth cleaning, serving small girls under puberty etc.
Mercury of 2H, 4H, 6H gives results like a Raj yoga. Mercury of 7H is very good for others & planet conjunct. Mercury of 9H/12H/8H3H/11H is full of poison. Mercury of 1H & 10H is like a king. Rahu & Ketu effects are not added in Mercury of 4H so considered Raj Yog for the native.
Mercury in 3H is inauspicious for family members & relatives related to planets of 9H / 11H
Mercury of 8H is inauspicious for longevity of self & others
Mercury of 9H is bad for own wealth
Mercury of 11H is an obstruction in own income till 34 years
Mercury in 12H destroys business & night sleep
Mercury of 1H / 2H & 9H to 12H supports Saturn hence ill placed Mercury will be like teeth having poison in it so bad for wealth & health. Mercury in 3H to 8H supports Sun & will be generally good for wealth but can deep sufferings in 3H & 8H
Relation of Mercury with Rahu : When Mercury & Rahu are conjunct or alone in their bad houses like Mercury in 3H/8H/9H/12H & Rahu in 1H/5H/7H/11H, it gives very bad results like imprisonment or hospitalization or mental hospital or confinement etc. irrespective of fact that native may not have done any bad deed or he may not have any illness. He will have unnecessary sufferings, unexpected loss of wealth etc. Jointless iron ring in middle finger will protect. If native is involved in any work of tow planets together, Rahu & Mercury will act jointly to destroy native. Mercury related means sister, sister of father, sister of mother, sister in law, own business etc. Rahu related means in laws, maternal grand parents, electricity, jail etc. For example if native starts some work related to Rahu like electrical goods or lead or Mustard or barley etc. along with his sister etc., it will give results like Rahu + Mercury together & native may be completely destroyed for above house placements
Relation of Mercury with Ketu : When the two planets are mixing their effects through aspect etc., Mercury results will be per its placement in a house but Ketu will give results like debilitated planet. We need to remember that Ketu debilitates in Mercury's houses
Mercury rules over work related to intellect, business, skilled work, hand related work (manual skills) etc. & 34 years of age. Everything under Mercury domination (this egg shaped zodiac) means that nothing exists other than Mercury. All planets act within the zodiac ruled by Mercury so the process of life & nature comes into force after all nine planets come in action
Mercury from 1H to 4H (excluding 3H where it is bad for others) generally does not give bad effects on conjunct planet. Mercury may give its own bad results but will not cause inauspicious events in life. Mercury of 11H / 12H enforces bad results for other related planets also
Moon & Rahu fight will result into bad results of Mercury
Mercury conjunct ill placed planet enforces that planet to give further more inauspicious results. Mercury conjunct well placed planet ensures that such planet gives further more good results & Mercury itself will also give good results. Mercury rules over bat hence Mercury is like upside down hanging bad at some dark place to do mischief secretly. The symptoms of bad Mercury are that it will force the native to rebuild complete stairs even in newly constructed house but walls & roof will not be reconstructed. When Rahu is malefic, it forces to change only roof without touching walls
Native with bad Mercury should pierce his nose tip, clean teeth with alum, serve small girls under puberty etc. If Mercury is bad in multiple horoscopes in family or bad Mercury keep coming in bad houses in own horoscope, serving female goats ir donating female goat will be auspicious. Donate goat to a person who is involved in selling goat milk avoiding any butcher. Donate after feeding it full stomach. If native is having issues related to stammering or stuttering than do not consider it as a problems as this Mercury will now not give any other issues. When bad Mercury is giving regular health issues to family, as a remedy, it will be auspicious to donate yellow pumpkin (used for cooking pudding - halwa) full pumpkin in temple
Paap (malefic) Rahu & Ketu operate under Mercury's circle except in 4H where Mercury will give Raj yoga as Rahu & Ketu has taken oath not to do any harm in 4H
Mercury tends to support ill placed Venus but when Paap planets are malefic, Mercury itself will also be malefic & may cause deaths. In these circumstances, it Venus is placed in a house where Mercury is considered to give bad results, Venus will also give bad results
Mercury alone in any house is generally of no benefic use & powerless for giving any good results. It will give results of karaka of that house. For example, say Mercury is placed in 1H & karaka of 1H Sun is placed in 12H, now Mercury will give results of Sun of 12H. Similarly, if Sun is in 4H, Mercury of 1H will give results like Sun in 4H. etc. As mentioned in above paragraphs also, Mercury placed in any house & lord of the house in 9H, its lord become ineffective so in this Mars being lord of 1H & placed in 9H will become ineffective to give any good results
To further explain above concept, let us see these examples : Mercury alone in 1H will give results like Sun & Mars placed in 9H will be ineffective. Mercury placed in 2H will give results like Jupiter & Venus in 9H will be ineffective. Mercury in 3H will give results like Mars & Venus (not Mercury) in 9H will be ineffective. Mercury of 4H will give results like Moon & if Moon is in 9H, it will be ineffective. Mercury of 5H will give results like Jupiter & Sun in 9H will be ineffective. Mercury in 6H will give results like Ketu & if Ketu is in 9H, it will be ineffective. Mercury in 7H will give results like Venus (& its own results also as karaka of house) & if Venus is in 9H it will be ineffective. Mercury placed in 8H will give results of Saturn (& Mars results also) & Mars placed in 8H will be ineffective. Mercury placed in 9H will give results like Jupiter. Mercury placed in 10H will give results of Saturn & if Saturn is in 9H it will become ineffective. Mercury placed in 11H will give results like Jupiter & Saturn placed in 9H will be ineffective. Mercury placed in 12H will give results like Rahu & if Jupiter is placed in 9h, it will be ineffective.
Mercury of 3H / 8H / 9H / 11H / 12H is like a fool sailor who sinks his own boat & it gives obstructions in income.
Mercury of 1H, 2H & 9H to 12H supports Saturn. Mercury of 3H to 8H supports Sun.
Mercury conjunct a planet gives following results : With Jupiter, its like ash; With Sun its like Mercury (Hg); With Moon its like water; with Venus its like curd; with Mars its teeth of the lion; with Saturn its like tin used for plating utensils; with Rahu its trunk of the elephant; with Ketu its tail of the dog
When Mercury & Saturn are in adjoining houses, constructing courtyard over erected beams will spoil Mercury. It may give mental disease, madness, head related issues. Sister, father's sister etc. may be destroyed
LK states that Mercury of 2H/4H/6H is like egg placed in vertical position upright & rules of starling & female goat. In predictive terms it means having tendency to give good results. Mercury of 8H & 10H is egg placed in horizontal position which can rotate on either side & rules over sheep (lamb). In predictive terms, its results are unpredictable. Mercury of 12H is a spoiled bad egg so inauspicious. Mercury of 1H & 7H is normal position. 3H & 9H Mercury is secretive & deceptive. Mercury of 5H is male goat who can give milk & female goat having beard. Mercury of 11H is a tree with broad leaves, sermon of starling, red neck parrot, imitator of Jupiter etc.
The special drain pipe of Mercury : Planets placed 1/3 houses do not meet each other hence can not mix their results in each other. But if they mix up through special drain pipe of Mercury, they may not give bad results for each other. They may or may not give good results. Mercury & Venus together are generally good & both are karaka planets of 7H. But when they are not conjunct & placed in 1/7 axis, both may not be auspicious. But when they are not in 1/7 axis & also not conjunct, than look for the house where Mercury is placed. Look for other planets conjunct Mercury. Now Mercury will help mix results of conjunct planets (in sitting house) in Venus through its special drain. So their results will mix up in the house where Venus is placed. But Venus can not do as reverse process This rule does not apply when Mercury is placed in lagna. When Mercury is placed in later houses from Venus, Mercury will no more be auspicious. But when Mercury is placed in previous houses from Venus, it will considered auspicious in general. In this principle, when Mercury is conjunct any planet who is inimical to Venus, in that case Venus will not allow Mercury to mix its results in the house where Venus is placed. Hence in this case, this special drain pipe will remain closed & Venus will not get any support from Mercury & as a rule when Venus does not get support of Mercury, Venus acts like a crazy planet i.e. inauspicious. In reverse case, when Mercury is conjunct a planet who is friendly to Venus, Venus will not block Mercury rather Venus will literally force Mercury to mix the results. When Mercury & Venus are in 1/7 axis along with Rahu/Ketu & Mercury is placed in later houses than Venus, than ruling periods of all the four planets will give very bad results. But in this case, if Mercury is in previous houses, only Rahu/Ketu period will be bad. In this context, ruling period is taken a placement in 1H in natal / Varshphala. The special drain pipe of Mercury is very useful for Mars as at times Mars does not get support of Sun or Moon & convert Mars to benefic from malefic. Without Mars, the progeny of Venus is difficult to survive. Mercury with Mars (who are inimical) is like a red necked parrot. Mercury helps to mix its results & results of Mars in Venus to protect progeny. The rule of Mercury in previous houses from Venus does not apply in this case hence results will be auspicious. Mars results will be mixed during first ruling period of Venus.
Teeth of Mercury : Teeth of Mercury helps to pronounce words correctly or in other words as long as native has teeth, he will have control on his voice i.e. Jupiter's power will be under control hence capacity to produce child will remain intact. Mars will also support. When Mercury (teeth) were absent, native got support through Moon (milk) & when teeth appeared, native gets Venus (cereal). So as long Mercury is present, Venus will be there to support. But after native looses teeth (especially upper jaw front teeth), native will no more have support of Mars & Mercury & Jupiter will also be not under control. In predictive terms, it means that a male native can remain sexually active & fertile as long as he has not lost front teeth of upper jaw. This rule does not apply for loss of teeth in any accident rather it applies for natural loss of teeth with age.
Special secret of Mercury : After preparing the rasi chart & giving house numbers from 1 to 12, following principle will be very important to understand the hidden nature of Mercury. Look at the house number where planet is placed. Multiply this number with the strength of the planet. Calculate it for all nine planets, add it & finally divide it with 9. If remainder is zero, Mercury's nature will be similar to planet of 5H. This zero represents empty zodiac ruled by Mercury. When remainder is zero, Rahu & Ketu will trapped in this empty zodiac. Now Rahu & Ketu will not be able to impact any other planet of the horoscope but their own results will remain same because effects of Rahu & Ketu are always added in Mercury except in 4H. In a watch, Rahu rules over the rotating key & Ketu rules over needles. Both are governed by Jupiter but they rotate in the zodiac of Mercury. In case, 5H is vacant, look for its lord Sun placement
Let us take an example : Rahu in 2H, Sun & Mercury in 3H, Jupiter in 4H, Mars & Venus in 5H, Moon in 6H, Ketu in 8H & Saturn in 12H. Rahu strength is 2 out of 9 hence 2x2 = 4. Likewise, Sun strength is 9 out of 9 hence 9x3 = 27. For Mercury, 4x3 = 12. Jupiter : 6x4 = 24. Mars : 5x5 = 25. Venus : 7x5 = 35. Moon : 8x6 = 48. Ketu : 1x8 = 8. Saturn : 3x12 = 36. All total is 219. Now divide it by 9, we get 24 3/9. Expunge the full number i.e. 24 hence we are left with 3/9. 3/9 is the strength of Saturn hence Mercury's hidden nature will be similar to Saturn of 12H. To decide basic nature of Saturn, we see placement of Rahu, Ketu & Saturn. If Rahu is in previous houses, followed by Ketu & lastly Saturn hence Saturn basic nature is not auspicious. So during Mercury's period, Saturn will give two times malefic results as both Mercury & Saturn are of inauspicious nature.
Remedies will be performed through Mercury & of planet of Mercury's nature jointly
For Mercury of 3H / 9H, take red iron ball. But if Mercury proves to be auspicious, take glass ball instead of iron & choose color of the planet Mercury resembles.
For Mercury of 12H, perform remedy of destroyed planet or take help of Ketu i.e. keep a pet dog multi color dog or black & white dog avoiding red color in multi color.
Mercury is like a white blank paper, glass, alum etc. When Mercury is related to any planet, it is very difficult to find out exact nature of Mercury. Mercury of 3H / 9H or ill placed in any other house will give benefic results in the year when it proves to be of benefic nature in that year. But bad Mercury will give bad effects in 1st birth year or first birth month. If there is balarishtha yoga in horoscope, it may lead to death of the child. Mercury with Sun or Mars benefic remains silent till half of its age i.e. 17 years but it may still do some mischief secretly.
