1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:06,000 Good morning everyone, welcome to my channel. Hope you are safe and happy wherever you are. 2 00:00:06,000 --> 00:00:11,000 First of all, thank you for your likes, shares, subscribes. Deeply appreciate it. 3 00:00:11,000 --> 00:00:17,000 This one, let's talk about deeper esoteric meanings of Mercury. 4 00:00:17,000 --> 00:00:24,000 Intellect, logic, reasoning, analytical thinking skills, reasoning skills and so on. 5 00:00:24,000 --> 00:00:31,000 And we were speaking about all these planets from the point of view of the cross and the crescent. 6 00:00:31,000 --> 00:00:35,000 So let's continue with Mercury and see what Mercury brings. 7 00:00:35,000 --> 00:00:43,000 Now, go to understand right off. Mercury is a soft planet. It's a very neutral kind of energy, intellect and reasoning. 8 00:00:43,000 --> 00:00:51,000 We can bring this to any area of life and it plays out intellectual energy in that particular area of life. 9 00:00:51,000 --> 00:00:58,000 It's a neutral sort of planet. It doesn't have any natural inclination towards one thing or the other. 10 00:00:58,000 --> 00:01:08,000 But it does well in some houses and we shall first begin by seeing the esoteric meanings and then we'll move on to the Dharma, the Kama Moksha and then we'll move on to the Chakras. 11 00:01:08,000 --> 00:01:15,000 The same format as the Jupiter and Saturn which was previous. So keep watching. 12 00:01:15,000 --> 00:01:27,000 So there we have it, the crescent and the cross, basic meanings. Mercury symbol is represented there with arc on top, the crescent on top and cross at the bottom. 13 00:01:27,000 --> 00:01:35,000 So right off you should be thinking in terms of a vertical axis, what you are ready to bring in terms of vertical axis. 14 00:01:35,000 --> 00:01:42,000 Vertical axis being your soul energy as a human body embodied in this planet. 15 00:01:42,000 --> 00:01:59,000 So first of all, just to recap, the crescent is a symbol of harvest, direction in which the soul wants to go, the mind or ego, intellect sitting on top right there as the half moon of Shiva for example. 16 00:01:59,000 --> 00:02:08,000 The direction in which the soul as the mind and ego, very important to remember this as the mind and ego wants to go. 17 00:02:08,000 --> 00:02:16,000 The principle of soul direction, indication, work, wisdom, learning, giving and receiving in the world. 18 00:02:16,000 --> 00:02:20,000 Where it wants to go is one thing and what it has is different. 19 00:02:20,000 --> 00:02:27,000 The cross is a symbol of the ugly brain, where it wants to bring in the Dharma, Artha, Kama or Moksha. 20 00:02:27,000 --> 00:02:35,000 It can also be seen as the elements earth, air, fire, water or also as the four primary directions north, south, east, west. 21 00:02:35,000 --> 00:02:40,000 Or as the balance of energies that move in vertical plane and the horizontal plane. 22 00:02:40,000 --> 00:02:46,000 Remember vertical plane is what we bring in, horizontal plane is what we do in this earth. 23 00:02:46,000 --> 00:02:52,000 So that being said, Mercury's crescent is on top, cross is right at the bottom. 24 00:02:52,000 --> 00:03:02,000 So it's working on the vertical axis, meaning what the soul wants to bring in the wisdom and intellect into this physical world, in whatever area. 25 00:03:02,000 --> 00:03:06,000 So let's see what that plays out as Mercury. 26 00:03:06,000 --> 00:03:16,000 So Mercury, crescent therefore symbolizes the soul or intellectual energy present in that relevant area of life. 27 00:03:16,000 --> 00:03:19,000 Remember we have 12 houses, which we shall see in the next slide. 28 00:03:19,000 --> 00:03:23,000 The 12 houses represent the 12 areas of our life. 29 00:03:23,000 --> 00:03:26,000 We all have different areas of our life, work, personal and so on. 30 00:03:26,000 --> 00:03:36,000 So where we bring this mercurial energy, the intellectual capacity, is where Mercury will shine in that particular chart. 31 00:03:36,000 --> 00:03:45,000 The Mercury cross at the same time symbolizes the soul, intellectual ability manifest for accomplishing what the soul desires. 32 00:03:45,000 --> 00:03:55,000 So crescent brings in that intellectual energy present in the relevant area of life and cross represents how you want to accomplish that. 33 00:03:55,000 --> 00:03:57,000 So that's what you have come here for. 34 00:03:57,000 --> 00:04:08,000 If you examine a chart, examine it from a point of view of what has this soul come into this particular body, this gender, this race, culture, etc. 35 00:04:08,000 --> 00:04:10,000 And what am I here to accomplish? 36 00:04:10,000 --> 00:04:13,000 We are here to accomplish one thing or the other. 37 00:04:13,000 --> 00:04:18,000 Now let's see in terms of the houses of Vedic astrology. 38 00:04:18,000 --> 00:04:26,000 In terms of houses of Vedic astrology, Mercury pretty much does well in all houses because like I said, it's a neutral planet. 39 00:04:26,000 --> 00:04:31,000 It does not have preferential attitude towards any one house. 40 00:04:31,000 --> 00:04:36,000 Wherever it is placed, it will bring your intellectual capacity in that particular house. 41 00:04:36,000 --> 00:04:42,000 But typically if you think about it, what do we bring intellectual energy for? 42 00:04:42,000 --> 00:04:51,000 It is for things in the physical world because it is trying to get intellectual energy into the physical world, the present and the cross. 43 00:04:51,000 --> 00:05:00,000 So straight away we can say that Mercury does very well in the first house, fifth house and the ninth house, the Dharma houses. 44 00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:05,000 So first house being you as a personality, the ego. 45 00:05:05,000 --> 00:05:13,000 If you have Mercury in the first house, you pretty much bring intellectual energy to all other areas of your life, every area of your life. 46 00:05:13,000 --> 00:05:24,000 If it's in the fifth house, it will bring good energy in terms of your creativity, creative intelligence, your education, whatever you want to get educated in, 47 00:05:24,000 --> 00:05:27,000 your field of knowledge, whatever you want to specialize in. 48 00:05:27,000 --> 00:05:31,000 It may be arts, it may be music, it may be mainstream education. 49 00:05:31,000 --> 00:05:33,000 It doesn't matter what area you select. 50 00:05:33,000 --> 00:05:43,000 In terms of ninth house, it will make a person want to study more in intellectual understanding of philosophy, philosophical person. 51 00:05:43,000 --> 00:05:51,000 The textual knowledge of what it is to be philosophical in life, what are the higher thinking dimensions? 52 00:05:51,000 --> 00:05:54,000 How can we think this in a higher way? 53 00:05:54,000 --> 00:05:57,000 That's what Mercury will bring in the ninth house. 54 00:05:57,000 --> 00:06:04,000 It does very well in the third house because third house is of skill development. What you develop as your skill set. 55 00:06:04,000 --> 00:06:11,000 So Mercury will do there well as well. It's an intellectual skill. It's a talking skill, communication skill. 56 00:06:11,000 --> 00:06:15,000 Third house is for communication, social media and so on. 57 00:06:15,000 --> 00:06:23,000 In the sixth house, which stands for daily work, daily routines, your everyday routines, it may be even your mainstream career. 58 00:06:23,000 --> 00:06:25,000 Part of it is daily work. 59 00:06:25,000 --> 00:06:31,000 So it will do well there because you will be bringing your intellectual capacity to the workplace. 60 00:06:31,000 --> 00:06:36,000 It will also do well in the tenth house because tenth house is of career. 61 00:06:36,000 --> 00:06:45,000 Whatever you do as work, business, doctors, lawyers, engineers, accountants, whatever your profession is, it will do well there in the tenth house 62 00:06:45,000 --> 00:06:53,000 because you are bringing your intellect into play there. You are using your intelligence in that direction which we need to. 63 00:06:53,000 --> 00:07:00,000 It also does well in the eleventh house because it's all about bringing your energy to the collective. 64 00:07:00,000 --> 00:07:06,000 Eleventh house is all about the collective. We are giving your energy, your intellectual wisdom to the rest of the world. 65 00:07:06,000 --> 00:07:19,000 So Mercury pretty much does well in all these houses because these are all of yourself, what you have gained as knowledge and what you want to share with others. 66 00:07:19,000 --> 00:07:25,000 Now here we start examining the astrological houses on the right hand side and the chakra system. 67 00:07:25,000 --> 00:07:34,000 There's Mercury again and I've just highlighted in the chakra basis where all it comes in with respect to astrological houses. 68 00:07:34,000 --> 00:07:38,000 So it is shown in the second house but it's actually the first house. 69 00:07:38,000 --> 00:07:47,000 So first house of all your abilities, basically your entire egoic structure, you will bring that Mercury very well there. 70 00:07:47,000 --> 00:07:55,000 It's in the third house communication, third house is of communication through voice also the second house but more on hands, 71 00:07:55,000 --> 00:08:01,000 skills of hands because third house comes here in the area of shoulders and hands. 72 00:08:01,000 --> 00:08:09,000 It will do very well in the fifth house because like we said it's identity, bridge, fifth house is your naval center in the chakra system. 73 00:08:09,000 --> 00:08:20,000 Identity, bridge, others, self and others, discernment, creative intelligence, education, love and romance, very creative in that. 74 00:08:20,000 --> 00:08:25,000 Think of Mercury as creative intelligence that works comes more to me. 75 00:08:25,000 --> 00:08:32,000 Ninth house, religion and spirituality, the foundational worldview of your, what do you think of the world? 76 00:08:32,000 --> 00:08:35,000 How you develop through maturity, age and years. 77 00:08:35,000 --> 00:08:44,000 This particular idea you have higher education, philosophy, your father and authority figures, what do you think of them? 78 00:08:44,000 --> 00:08:55,000 Tenth house, tenth house is of career profession, work in the world, ambition and achievement, authority, public image, institutions and companies, 79 00:08:55,000 --> 00:09:02,000 what you work as, work environment and colleagues, how you treat them, do you use your intellect there? 80 00:09:02,000 --> 00:09:10,000 Then eleventh house which is of material gains, it's also the Bhava Bholam of the 12th house which you should not get into right now. 81 00:09:10,000 --> 00:09:18,000 It's about French and social circles, hopes and wishes, humanitarianism and social causes, elder siblings and mentors. 82 00:09:18,000 --> 00:09:25,000 So Mercury does well there also because you need to bring in your intellectual knowledge to the collective as well. 83 00:09:25,000 --> 00:09:33,000 We are here, each one of us in whatever capacity, we observe this to our own personal needs as well as to others. 84 00:09:33,000 --> 00:09:42,000 Next one we shall take up the meanings of Mars.
