Budha (Mercury)
By The Astrologic Desk · Editorial and calculation review
Budha (Mercury) governs intellect, speech and exchange. It rules Mithuna and Kanya, and is uniquely both ruler and exalted in Kanya at 15°, while debilitated in Meena at 15°. Its mahadasha runs seventeen years. Budha takes on the character of whichever planets it sits with, more than any other graha.
Karaka: Communication, analysis, and commerce. Nature: Neutral. Mahadasha: 17 years.
