Budh (Mercury) is the prince of the planetary kingdom, representing intelligence, communication, analytical ability, and business acumen. Mercury is the fastest inner planet and governs the 3rd house (communication) and 6th house (service) as natural significator. A strong Mercury bestows sharp intellect, eloquent speech, success in business, writing ability, and mathematical skills. A weak Mercury can cause speech problems, nervous disorders, skin issues, and difficulties in education or communication. Mercury is unique as it takes the nature of planets it associates with - becoming benefic with benefics and malefic with malefics.
