Improving the Influences of Mercury on the Home
In Indian mythology, Mercury is called the prince among the planets. It is considered the planet of intellect and is responsible primarily for memory, knowledge, reason, trade, communication, writing abilities, speaking skills, art, creativity, wit, clarity, philosophy, mathematics, and knowledge of languages.
According to Vastu, Mercury influences the northern direction. Therefore, the north is connected with our progress in career and business. It influences our financial situation, hygiene, upbringing, speech, correspondence with others, and literary activities. The direction is ruled by the god Kubera.
The northern direction strongly influences finances, the health of women, behavior, name, and fame.
If there are defects in the north of the home, Mercury will contribute to arrogance, lying, stuttering, unpleasant speech (a person may even curse or insult). The people living in the home may also talk excessively, behave arrogantly, and forget various things.
If the north is balanced, Mercury can give a person wisdom, the ability to learn, good speech, the strength to argue and defend one’s principles, mastery of languages, excellent memory, the ability to investigate, engage in business, success, speed in work, and good intuition.
Besides the north, Mercury represents the living room, the study room, the balcony, and the guest room within the home.
