4) Mercury :- Now I explain the effect of (benefic) Mercury in 10th house (Rajya; profession) = Lagna dasame Budha-phalam. The 10th house is a very beneficial house (kendra; Sri Narayana sthana). It denotes thighs, honour, dignity, public esteem, name and fame, power prestige, credit (for good work and conduct), success and status, rank and renown, respect and reputation, ambition and authority, worldly activities, responsibilities, permanency (in service), promotion, advancement, appointment, profession, last rites to one's parents, religious functions. Government, high position such as President, Governor, Prime Minister or Minister, pilgrimage to holy places, honour from Government.
Effects : Views of renowned astrologers : 1) Saint-Astrologer Maharshi Parasara (Great grand-father of Pandavas and Kauravas of Mahabharatha epic; father of Maharshi Veda Vyasa) wrote : (sloka = Sanskrit verse) :- GURU-JANASYA-HITHO, BAHU DHANO, DASAME SOUMYE, NIJA-ARJITHA DHANI, MITHA BHASHANA = IF BUDHA IS IN 10TH HOUSE, HE / SHE EARNS BILLIONS OF RICHES BY DOING HIS OWN BUSINESS; HAS ALL COMFORTS LIKE CARS, MOTOR-BOATS, & VEHICLES; THE PERSON TALKS SCANTY & PLEASING; HE IS LIKED BY ALL ELDERS.
Explanation :- The above Sutras have ascribed beneficial results to Mercury in the tenth house unless he is under malefic influence. However, the statement in Sutra 68, that the native will suffer from eye troubles in his 28th year does not appear logical and relevant to the significations of Mercury and the tenth house. If Mercury is in the 10th house in his own sign Gemini he will be there as lord of the ascendant and the tenth in the 10th house. If he is in his own sign Virgo (this is also his sign of exaltation) he will be there as lord of seventh and tenth in .the tenth house. These are very favourable dispositions. Lord of 10th in the 10th or lord of 9th in 10th (Capricorn ascendant) also forms a powerful Raja yoga which is capable of giving the native great name, fame and popularity.
Mercury in the tenth in his own sign or in his sign of exaltation, being in Kendra to the ascendant, will also give rise to Bhadra yoga, (a Panch maha-purusha yoga); the effects of which are as under:-
"The person born in Bhadra yoga will be strong, will have a lion-like face, well developed chest, well proportioned limbs, he will be taciturn, will help relatives and will live up to a good old age.".
If Mercury as a benefic occupies the tenth house from the ascendant Amala yoga is also formed, the results of which have been given as under:-
"The person will achieve lasting fame and reputation. His character will be spotless and he will lead a prosperous life."
For Gemini, Virgo, Sagittarius and Pisces ascendants, Mercury in the tenth as lord of the ascendant and 4th, as lord of the ascendant and the 10th, as lord of 7th and the 10th, as lord of the 4th and 7th respectively will give rise to powerful Dhana yogas.
