Good morning everyone, welcome to my channel. Hope you are safe and happy wherever you are.
First of all, thank you for your likes, shares, subscribes. Deeply appreciate it.
This one, let's talk about deeper esoteric meanings of Mercury.
Intellect, logic, reasoning, analytical thinking skills, reasoning skills and so on.
And we were speaking about all these planets from the point of view of the cross and the crescent.
So let's continue with Mercury and see what Mercury brings.
Now, go to understand right off. Mercury is a soft planet. It's a very neutral kind of energy, intellect and reasoning.
We can bring this to any area of life and it plays out intellectual energy in that particular area of life.
It's a neutral sort of planet. It doesn't have any natural inclination towards one thing or the other.
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.
The same format as the Jupiter and Saturn which was previous. So keep watching.
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.
So right off you should be thinking in terms of a vertical axis, what you are ready to bring in terms of vertical axis.
Vertical axis being your soul energy as a human body embodied in this planet.
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.
The direction in which the soul as the mind and ego, very important to remember this as the mind and ego wants to go.
The principle of soul direction, indication, work, wisdom, learning, giving and receiving in the world.
Where it wants to go is one thing and what it has is different.
The cross is a symbol of the ugly brain, where it wants to bring in the Dharma, Artha, Kama or Moksha.
It can also be seen as the elements earth, air, fire, water or also as the four primary directions north, south, east, west.
Or as the balance of energies that move in vertical plane and the horizontal plane.
Remember vertical plane is what we bring in, horizontal plane is what we do in this earth.
So that being said, Mercury's crescent is on top, cross is right at the bottom.
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.
So let's see what that plays out as Mercury.
So Mercury, crescent therefore symbolizes the soul or intellectual energy present in that relevant area of life.
Remember we have 12 houses, which we shall see in the next slide.
The 12 houses represent the 12 areas of our life.
We all have different areas of our life, work, personal and so on.
So where we bring this mercurial energy, the intellectual capacity, is where Mercury will shine in that particular chart.
The Mercury cross at the same time symbolizes the soul, intellectual ability manifest for accomplishing what the soul desires.
So crescent brings in that intellectual energy present in the relevant area of life and cross represents how you want to accomplish that.
So that's what you have come here for.
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.
And what am I here to accomplish?
We are here to accomplish one thing or the other.
Now let's see in terms of the houses of Vedic astrology.
In terms of houses of Vedic astrology, Mercury pretty much does well in all houses because like I said, it's a neutral planet.
It does not have preferential attitude towards any one house.
Wherever it is placed, it will bring your intellectual capacity in that particular house.
But typically if you think about it, what do we bring intellectual energy for?
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.
So straight away we can say that Mercury does very well in the first house, fifth house and the ninth house, the Dharma houses.
So first house being you as a personality, the ego.
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.
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,
your field of knowledge, whatever you want to specialize in.
It may be arts, it may be music, it may be mainstream education.
It doesn't matter what area you select.
In terms of ninth house, it will make a person want to study more in intellectual understanding of philosophy, philosophical person.
The textual knowledge of what it is to be philosophical in life, what are the higher thinking dimensions?
How can we think this in a higher way?
That's what Mercury will bring in the ninth house.
It does very well in the third house because third house is of skill development. What you develop as your skill set.
So Mercury will do there well as well. It's an intellectual skill. It's a talking skill, communication skill.
Third house is for communication, social media and so on.
In the sixth house, which stands for daily work, daily routines, your everyday routines, it may be even your mainstream career.
Part of it is daily work.
So it will do well there because you will be bringing your intellectual capacity to the workplace.
It will also do well in the tenth house because tenth house is of career.
Whatever you do as work, business, doctors, lawyers, engineers, accountants, whatever your profession is, it will do well there in the tenth house
because you are bringing your intellect into play there. You are using your intelligence in that direction which we need to.
It also does well in the eleventh house because it's all about bringing your energy to the collective.
Eleventh house is all about the collective. We are giving your energy, your intellectual wisdom to the rest of the world.
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.
Now here we start examining the astrological houses on the right hand side and the chakra system.
There's Mercury again and I've just highlighted in the chakra basis where all it comes in with respect to astrological houses.
So it is shown in the second house but it's actually the first house.
So first house of all your abilities, basically your entire egoic structure, you will bring that Mercury very well there.
It's in the third house communication, third house is of communication through voice also the second house but more on hands,
skills of hands because third house comes here in the area of shoulders and hands.
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.
Identity, bridge, others, self and others, discernment, creative intelligence, education, love and romance, very creative in that.
Think of Mercury as creative intelligence that works comes more to me.
Ninth house, religion and spirituality, the foundational worldview of your, what do you think of the world?
How you develop through maturity, age and years.
This particular idea you have higher education, philosophy, your father and authority figures, what do you think of them?
Tenth house, tenth house is of career profession, work in the world, ambition and achievement, authority, public image, institutions and companies,
what you work as, work environment and colleagues, how you treat them, do you use your intellect there?
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.
It's about French and social circles, hopes and wishes, humanitarianism and social causes, elder siblings and mentors.
So Mercury does well there also because you need to bring in your intellectual knowledge to the collective as well.
We are here, each one of us in whatever capacity, we observe this to our own personal needs as well as to others.
Next one we shall take up the meanings of Mars. Let's just do Mars and then we'll come to Venus.
