Mercury's Aspect (Drishti) — Which Houses It Falls On and Its Results

The rule of aspect

In Vedic astrology every planet casts a full aspect on the 7th sign/house from itself — Mercury included. An aspect means the planet pours its energy on a house without sitting there; after conjunction it is the largest channel of influence.

The flavour of Mercury's aspect

Whichever house Mercury beholds takes the colour of intellect, speech and trade — a well-placed Mercury adorns that area, an afflicted one adds challenge there. The final word comes only after weighing the house's karaka, its lord and the planets seated in it.

Practical keys

Aspects are always counted by sign, and the closer the degrees, the denser the effect. See in your chart which houses Mercury beholds — those areas stir first in its dasha periods. The house-wise results of Mercury are detailed on this encyclopedia's Mercury-house pages.
