Buddha Dosha: In astrology, Mercury is considered to be the factor of intelligence, speech, reasoning power, business, friendship and education. It is also called the ‘prince’ of the planets. When Mercury is in a strong position in the birth chart, the person is clever, intelligent, quick-witted and successful in business. His speaking skills are so impressive that people get influenced by his words.
But if Mercury becomes weak or afflicted in the horoscope then many types of problems can start in life. This is called “Mercury defect” in common language. Let us understand how Budh Dosh is formed, what are its signs and what are the measures suggested to avoid it.
Due to what reasons Mercury defect is formed?
Mercury in inferior sign
According to astrology, if Mercury is situated in Pisces then it is considered debilitated. In this situation, Mercury loses its auspicious power and becomes weak in giving good results.
influence of malefic planets
If Mercury is aspected by planets like Mars, Saturn, Rahu or Ketu or is sitting with them, then its effect may be reduced. This affects a person’s thinking and decision making ability.
near sunset
When Mercury comes very close to the Sun, it sets. In such a situation, the positive results of Mercury reduce and the person may have to face obstacles in career and business.
position in bad mood
If Mercury is placed in the sixth, eighth or twelfth house of the horoscope, then it is considered weak. Presence of Mercury in these houses can sometimes create mental stress, financial problems and confusion.
