Mercury in Gemini - 22nd June 2010 - Budh Aditya with an Edge

FAQ :: Gemstone FAQs :: Mercury in Gemini - 22nd June 2010 - Budh Aditya with an Edge

Today, Budh has entered the airy sign of Gemini (Mithun) where it has joined Sun and Ketu in transit and like these other two planets in Mithun the Mercury too has come under the tenth aspect of Saturn from Virgo (Kanya). Ketu has been in transit in Mithun since last November and Sun had entered Gemini on 15th June 2010.

Mercury will stay in this fickle and dual natured sign, which is its own house too, till 6th July 2010. The previous transit of Budh in Mithun was from 30th June 2009 to 15th July 2009. Its next transit in Gemini will be from 14th June 2011 to 29th June 2011.

Mercury is the lord of Gemini and Virgo which means that it is at its best in these two signs. Mercury governs intellect, logic, expressions, associative abilities, verbosity, language and argumentative skills. In combination with other planets it gives quite diverse abilities like a gift of gab, sense of humour, mathematical skills, interest in astrology, business and calculative skills, etc. Devrishi Naarad - personification of Budh

In short, Budh is the basic catalyst behind all social, political, business, scientific and even the disruptive activities. The whole industry of journalism, through print, radio or television media is governed by Mercury. In Hindu mythology, Rishi Naarad, the provocative but highly independent messenger of Gods, is considered a personification of Budh.

During this 2010 transit of Mercury in Gemini, it forms a powerful Budh-Aditya yoga with Sun. But, this budh-aditya yoga has additional influence of Ketu and Saturn. Ketu gives it a cutting egde and Saturn provides it additional stability. Such a Budh-Aditya results in a spurt of logical thinking and scientific research. People born with such a yoga are overtly logical, too argumentative, very calculative, and have an innate interest in subjects like mathematics, physics, accountancy, astrology and occult.

In personal life, they can be quite difficult people as they tend to listen less and speak more. They can speak for hours without paying any attention to what others are saying. They become people who are in love with their own voice and thoughts and then try to impose their ideas on others. Their constant habit of arguing over even trivial matters makes them quite unpopular with their family members, sub-ordinates and employees.

This transit will give a boost to industries like banking, information technology, news media, publishing and telecommunications. New technology and breakthroughs through government support in these areas are also possible. Stock markets will be very volatile. Those who are trading in foreign currency must be very careful about their daily trade. For India, this transit will bring some benefits for customers of government supported banks and financial agencies.

Such a Budh Aditya in Gemini with Ketu involved in it was last formed in June 1991 and June 1992. But, by the time Mercury enters Gemini in 2011 Ketu would have shifted to Taurus. So, no such yoga will be formed in 2011. The next budh-aditya with Ketu will be formed only in June-July 2029.
