☿ Mercury in House II - Family & Finance
Bhrigu Sutras
Mercury in the Second House
Sutras 18-24-If Mercury is in the second house, the native will have a good number of children, he will be talkative, well versed in shastras, determined, contented, wealthy and full of good qualities. He will attain distinction in academic pursuits in his 15th year and will have enormous financial gains.
If Mercury is associated with a malefic, or is in the house of a malefic or- is in his sign of debilitation (Pisces), the native will remain uneducated. He will also suffer from windy troubles. If Mercury is associated with or aspected by a benefic, the native will be wealthy and educated. If Mercury is associated with or aspected by Jupiter the native will be very proficient in mathematics and will be an authority on this subject.
Comments-All the effects given are logical and relevant to the significations of Mercury and the second house. The second house is house of family. By the benefic influence of Mercury the native will have a good number of children and the family will be enlarged. It is, however, doubtful that the native can achieve distinction in academic pursuits and acquire enormous wealth at the early age of 15 (Sutra 18) unless he is an exceptionally .gifted person. Mercury will give very beneficial results in the case of Taurus and Leo ascendants. For Taurus ascendant Mercury will be in his own sign in the second as the lord of the 2nd and 5th houses.
For the Leo ascendant he will be in his own sign in the second as lord of the 2nd and llth houses. Good result will also be experienced in the case of Gemini, Virgo, Sagittarius and Pisces ascendants. For the Gemini ascendant Mercury will be in the 2nd as lord of the ascendant and 4th. For Virgo ascendant Mercury will be in the 2nd as lord of the ascendant and the 10th. For Sagittarius ascendant Mercury will be in 2nd as lord of the 7fh and 10th. For Pisces ascendant Mercury will be in the 2nd as lord of the 4th and 7th. These dispositions give rise to powerful Dhana yogas:
