Mercury in Vedic astrology is known as BUDHA, the awakened discriminating intellect and the part of us that knows. Mercury is benefice if associated with benefice grahas, and malefic is associated with malefic grahas. He is known as grahapati, or lord of the planets. Mercury rules over two signs of the sidereal zodiac, Gemini(Mithun) and Virgo(Kanya). He is exalted in Virgo at 15 degrees, and in his fall in the opposite sign of Pisces(Meen). Where the Moon is the innocent mind, Mercury is the intellect that discriminates between benefic and malefic ideas, or good and evil.
