Now we shall take Moon and Mercury as Vaishya
planets and we will filter it through the lens
of the different Varna system. Meaning Moon and
Mercury how they will play out when we take it
through the lens of the nakshatra in terms of
Varna, in terms of Brahmana, Kshatriya, Shudra
and so on. But these are Vaishya planets. traditionally
means a trader okay one who's interested in gains
of sort there is some trade factor involved it
may not just be in money so what's the difference
between moon and mercury as vaishya planets first
let me talk about that then we'll come to the
nakshatra part from the next shot onwards so
moon and mercury have a difference in the way
they approach trade Moon as Vaishya planet and
as your Amatya Karaka will approach everything
with respect to gaining something. A trade is
essentially what? A give and take, isn't it?
You scratch my back, I scratch yours in a certain
way. So Moon will do it as a Vaishya planet,
as Amatya Karaka, in terms of emotional gain.
I want to have emotional satisfaction from this.
That's Moon's approach. Gains has to be there.
Money has to be there, there has to be some exchange
of goods or services. Yet, Moon's approach is
towards emotional satisfaction. On the other
hand, Mercury will do everything for the sake
of gaining intellectual communication skills
or whatever vocational skills. Mercury is an
intellect brain, isn't it? Logical side. for
the sake of gaining social acceptance. Think
of the third house, sixth house. Social acceptance
is very important to Mercury and being popular
in the social circles. So if it's associated
with malefics, this is the reason why Mercury
tends to become very badass, you see. It doesn't
have a personality of its own. It's the prince
who can get influenced by anything, any planet,
wherever it sits with. So if it sits with Moon,
it can become emotional also, but Mercury is
pretty neutral in that. It gets influenced by
everything around. That's Mercury. So Mercury
will do it purely for selfish reasons, purely
for gains of money. It's a pure trader in a sense.
Whereas Moon, on the other hand, will do it for
emotional gains. This is the difference in the
Vaishya class between Moon and Mercury. start
putting randomly through nakshatras and we'll
see how moon and makiri play out as vaishya planets
as amatyakaraka within the varna system of the
nakshatras.
