When benefic in nature, exalted Mercury placed in the fifth house of a horoscope can bless the native under its influence with good results related to marriage, profession, finances, overall health and many other types of good results. Accordingly the natives under the effect of this benefic influence may come across some of these good results depending on the overall tone of their horoscopes. Such benefic influence may especially prove good for the professional sphere of the native and it can bless the native with success through many fields of profession. It should be noted that the professional results rendered by this benefic influence can enhance a lot, if it is joined by benefic Sun in the fifth house of a horoscope. This is because when a benefic combination of Mercury and Sun is placed in the fifth house of a horoscope, Budhaditya Yoga may be formed in that horoscope.
For the readers who are new to this concept, let me mention the definition of Budhaditya Yoga here. If a combination of benefic Sun and Mercury is placed in any house of a horoscope, Budhaditya Yoga may be formed in that horoscope, which can bless the native with many types of good results depending on its house of placement, the strength of Sun and Mercury and depending on the overall tone of the horoscope in question. In the present case, Budhaditya Yoga may be formed in the fifth house of a horoscope due to the combination of benefic Sun and Mercury in this house. Since Mercury is exalted in this case, Sun is strong due to its placement in a friendly sign and the fifth house of a horoscope complements both these planets in a good way, the results produced can be very good in this case.
The natives under the influence of this type of Budhaditya Yoga may be very intelligent, they may have very good memories and they may also have very good communication skills. By virtue of these qualities, they are likely to perform well or very well at their formal education, right from their early years and they may get blessed with a very good career, by virtue of their formal education. It means that such natives may study up to very high levels of academic education and they may get blessed with a profession relevant to their line of study. This is one combination of benefic exalted Mercury and Sun, which can bless the native with such good results in education that the native may get selected for some of the most prestigious types of jobs, through competitive exams, if allowed by the overall tone of his horoscope.
For example, if a benefic combination of exalted Mercury and Sun is placed in the fifth house of a horoscope in the sign of Virgo and a benefic combination of Venus and Mars is placed in the seventh house of this horoscope in the sign of Scorpio, the native may join the army, he may join administrative services or he may settle abroad, depending on the overall tone of his horoscope. At the same time, if benefic Ketu is placed in the second house of this horoscope and benefic Moon is placed in the fourth house of this horoscope, the native may join the army. The native under the combined effect of all these benefic planets may appear in some competitive exams for selection in the army and through such exams, he may get selected for the highest possible direct rank in the army. Such native may witness a very good career in this field of profession and he may accomplish many good things during his career as an army officer. The presence of benefic Saturn in the first house of this horoscope in the sign of Taurus can improve this equation and the native may achieve even better results through this field of profession.
However if a benefic combination of exalted Mercury and Sun is placed in the fifth house of a horoscope in the sign of Virgo, a benefic combination of Mars and Venus is placed in the seventh house of this horoscope in the sign of Scorpio and a benefic combination of Jupiter and Rahu is placed in the twelfth house of this horoscope in the sign of Aries, the native may go abroad and settle there permanently. The native under the combined effect of these benefic planets may go to a foreign country on the basis of his profession and he may settle in such foreign country on permanent basis. The combined effect of such benefic exalted Mercury and all other benefic planets mentioned in this example can also get this native married to a girl of foreign origin and hence some of these natives may get married to girls belonging to foreign countries. As more benefic planets add to this horoscope, the native may profit even more through his foreign settlement.
Taking the third case, if a benefic combination of exalted Mercury and Sun is placed in the fifth house of a horoscope in the sign of Virgo, a benefic combination of Venus and Mars is placed in the seventh house of this horoscope in the sign of Scorpio and a benefic combination of exalted Saturn and Moon is placed in the sixth house of this horoscope in the sign of Libra, the native may become an administrative officer. The native under the combined effect of all these benefic planets may get selected for the highest possible direct rank in administrative services by means of his success in some competitive exams for the same purpose. The combined effect of all these planets can also bless the native with a very good career in administrative services and such native may receive some very important postings during his career. The presence of benefic Rahu in the tenth house of this horoscope in the sign of Aquarius can increase the success achieved by this native through this field of profession.
Budhaditya Yoga formed in the fifth house of a horoscope can also bless the native with some special abilities and accordingly some natives blessed by this yoga may engage in the fields of profession where such special abilities are valued. For example, if a benefic combination of exalted Mercury and Sun forms Budhaditya Yoga in the fifth house of a horoscope in the sign of Virgo, benefic Saturn is placed in the eighth house of this horoscope in the sign of Sagittarius and benefic Ketu is placed in the twelfth house of this horoscope in the sign of Aries, the native may become an astrologer. The native under the combined effect of all these benefic planets may become interested in astrology and he may conduct study and research on many aspects of this science for many years. After conducting such study and research to the level of his satisfaction, the native may start practicing as a professional astrologer. Such native may achieve good amount of success as an astrologer and his success may increase after his age of 35.
At the same time, if benefic Jupiter is placed in the eleventh house of this horoscope in the sign of Pisces when benefic exalted Mercury and all other benefic planets are placed in the already mentioned houses of this horoscope, the equation may improve a lot. The native under the combined effect of all these benefic planets may earn very good amount of success, money and fame as an astrologer. The presence of benefic Moon in the eighth house of this horoscope in the sign of Sagittarius along with benefic Saturn can make this equation even better. Accordingly the native may become a successful astrologer of national fame and he may earn very good amount of money and fame through this field of profession. Such native may also write some books on various topics of astrology and he may also appear on some television shows based on the theme of astrology. As more benefic influences add to this horoscope, the native under the combined effect of all such benefic influences may achieve even better results through this field of profession.
On the other hand, malefic exalted Mercury placed in the fifth house of a horoscope can trouble the native with problems related to marriage, profession, finances, health, children and many other types of problems. Accordingly the natives under the effect of such malefic influence may have to face some of these problems depending on the overall tone of their horoscopes. Malefic exalted Mercury in the fifth house can especially proved bad for the child aspect of the native under its impact and it can trouble the native with many types of problems related to children. Such problems can intensify if malefic exalted Mercury is placed in the fifth house of a horoscope in the sign of Virgo along with Sun as in this case, malefic Mercury can afflict the Sun and it can form Pitra Dosh in the horoscope. According to the definition of Pitra Dosh, if Sun or ninth house of a horoscope is afflicted by malefic planets in that horoscope, Pitra Dosh may be formed in that horoscope.
Pitra Dosh formed in any house of a horoscope can especially trouble the native under its impact with problems related to children and in this case, Pitra Dosh is being formed in the fifth house itself, which is the house of children. Moreover, as malefic Mercury is placed in its sign of exaltation in this case, it becomes very strong. Accordingly the Pitra Dosh formed by such Mercury may also be very strong as such malefic exalted Mercury can afflict the Sun in a serious manner. Hence the natives under the effect of such Pitra Dosh may have to face delay in childbirth or they may have to face many other types of problems related to children.
Pitra Dosh formed by malefic exalted Mercury in the fifth house of a horoscope can prove more troublesome if it happens to be in the horoscope of a female native. The female native under the malefic effect of this defect may not be able to conceive a child and she may have to undergo medical treatment in order to get some of her problems fixed, before she may conceive and deliver. In extreme cases, when such Pitra Dosh is supported by some other malefic influences in a horoscope, the female native under its effect may have to undergo many miscarriages and abortions; and she may also have to suffer from serious health problems related to her reproductive system.
