Mercury Planet Messenger of Gods :What it Foretells for 2016
In Greek mythology, Mercury as Hermes, Messenger of the Gods, has one foot in the physical world and another in the realm of the unseen. Likewise, Mercury crosses mental boundaries into the mysteries of the imagination and the memories of the past. In the fertile landscape of the mind, Mercury harvests and interprets personal experience of life.Knowing Mercury sign can help one understand and maximize imaginative potential. It may reveal why one aren’t always on the same wavelength with others, and offer clues to sharing unique gifts of expression. The aspects your Mercury makes with other planets may explain manner of speaking, such as being defensive, chatty, eloquent, emotional, etc. Since the mind can be its own house of mirrors, this also can show a mind drawn to illusions or to playing games with others.
Mercury is elusive. As the innermost planet, it never strays far from the Sun from our point of view on Earth. So you can forget about ever seeing Mercury conveniently placed high in the sky because the Sun would also be nearby, overpowering Mercury. The planet Mercury rules our intelligence, mind, memory and, all types of communication ranging from talking and texting to writing. It also affects our self-expression, and communication style. In a more public sense, it rules commerce, computers, telephones, transportation , air travel.Stock Markets, Weather to be specific in this article

Why Mercury Retrograde is Extremely Unique
Each Mercury retrograde has a certain flavor and character based on the sign that Mercury is in when it goes retrograde and the sign that it ends up in when it goes direct. They are often different signs. This retrograde is unique in that Mercury will start out in the “air” sign of Aquarius and end up in Aquarius. In astrology there are four “elements”: Fire, Earth, Air and Water. This retrograde is even more unique because Mercury retrograde periods only occur in the same “element” (i.e. Fire, Earth, Air, Water) sign approximately every seven years, discussed for the present Transit below in Earthy sign
We can recall the period of 2008, the stock market were crashing and world economies came to their knees. Panic and fear occurred in all the financial markets. There was confusion and upset among politicians and our government as to what to do. As one would expect, since it was during the retrograde, many bad ideas were turned into poorly thought-out, expedient solutions. It’s taken us years to dig “partially” out of that economic hole and the turmoil created during those times.
One of the positive qualities of Mercury in the air sign of Aquarius is that people are likely to express their humanitarian side by being more empathetic than usual. Unfortunately, they will also have a tendency to stubbornly believe they are right. There is a mental arrogance often at work when Mercury is in this air sign. It becomes hard for people to admit when they’re wrong and have made a mistake. The present Transit at the time of writing the Article also Mercury is in Aquarius and in abnormal motion, hence a Caution is indicated
Mercury is never more than 28 degrees from the Sun; it takes about 88 days to complete its orbit of the Sun. It is neither masculine nor feminine energy and assumes the gender of the sign it is in. It rules both Gemini and Virgo, and the Third and Sixth Houses.
Mercury’s retro cycles are times of slowing down, gaining new perspective.
Mercury rules the zodiacal signs Virgo and Gemini. Friends of Mercury are the Sun, Venus, Rahu, and Ketu, Mars, Jupiter, and Saturn are neutral to Mercury, and Mercury maintains enmity with the Moon.
Mercury Becoming Retrograde is a very important Parameter and triggers the mass physological Reactions and has a marked effect on the Physology .In the Present Scenerio Mercury is becoming Retrograde as per details given in this article
The result is that any action one takes or decision one makes during the retrograde don’t have the intended result. In fact, they often fail or seem sabotaged. As a result they will have to be re-done or restructured in some way when the Retrograde period ends and Mercury goes direct. Giving you the recent example as below.
Mercury ingressed in Virgo on the 23rd August 2015 when Rahu was in Forward motion and afflicted Mercury badly, hence in the Present Scenerio , when Even Rahu will be adverse there will be Bearish Trend and the Market will take many hits and Fall. We all know what were the results of the same and as Predicted by me in advance the Stock market took a Biggest Hit then of almost 1600 points

Mercury Behaves Irractic: When Adverse Condition
Mercury is the messenger, and in this time, the delivery is warped or the message gets lost en route. Some people find that their computers go on the fritz or phone lines go down. If you’re at all jittery about it, go ahead and back up your important files.
There can be delays, so give yourself plenty of time to get places. What happens in those down times? Mercury retro is known to be a time of ‘fated’ events — who will you meet? What will be revealed?
The Period from 12th Feb. to 25th April 2016 since Mercury is in Abnormal Mode will give unexpected Results in Stock market, but starting from 26th April 2016 there will be reversals in the Stock Exchange specially after 28th April 2016 and again getting into negative abnormal mode would adversely inflence the Stock Market and there could be unexpected fall and a Bubble Burst in Early May 2016, I am purposely ot mentioning the date , although the date has been put on my webpage in the articles on the Financial stagnation .
I have also mentioned the Name of the Bank with Letter Tand D where some Scandle type of Activity or some Losses would sprout after Mercury goes in Retrogression on the 28th April 2016
Making the Most of Mercury Retrograde:
A major cause of stress at Mercury retrograde is frustration from mishaps, things breaking down, computers going black. But if we know it’s cycle, this makes it feel less terminal. If things go pear-shaped, see what’s there to see. Take a break from the usual routine.
Significations of Retrograde Mercury As per the Tatwa
Retrogrades and Stationary Motions
Retrograde Planets can temporarily block the elements and create problems. The two most difficult retrogrades are Mercury and Saturn. Mercury as it happens so often and Saturn as it can transit over one point of the chart again and again; and create lots of problems. It is important to know retrogression of planets in a given year. The retrograde motion of your dasha ruler can change the direction of events. Retrogrades indicate a concentration of energy in the part of the zodiac where they are active. If you have planets in that area then they will have major impact. Retrogrades make life appear to be stuck in limbo, neither moving forward or backward. Saturn and Jupiter retrograde once a year and Mars and Venus one every two years.
BHUTA | ELEMENT | PLANET |
Aakash | Ether | Jupiter |
Vayu | Air | Saturn, Rahu |
Tejas | Fire | Mars, Sun, Ketu |
Apas | Water | Venus, Moon |
Prithvi | Earth | Mercury |
Stationary Planets
Planets switching from direct motion to retrogression or from retrogression to direct motion become nearly stationary over a period of time during the transition. Such planets seem to become very powerful and seem to trigger events related to the natal planetary positions touched by them by conjunction or aspect. Stationary transits of Jupiter, Mars and Saturn seem to be particularly important. We will study the impact of such transits in this article.
A stationary planet in quadrants or trines from lagna of a natal rasi/divisional chart seems to trigger good results related to the natal positions in that chart that are conjoined or aspected by it. A stationary planet in dusthanas from Lagna of a natal rasi/divisional chart seems to trigger bad results related to the natal positions in that chart that are conjoined or aspected by it.
Since the Transit of Mars and Saturn will be in the 8th house of the natural Zodiac and those individuals and Countires having Scorpio who have Scorpio in the Trik Bhavas will be influenced most , Similarly those who have Leo sign in the Trik Bhavas will also suffer..
When a Stationary Planet is also influenced by a Malefic and who is also retrograde will be worst.
A Benefic Stationary influenced by Retrograde Malefic is worst. Benefic planet loses its shine to give Protection or benefic results
A Malefic Stationary influenced by malefic will also be worst, Both in Conjunction will be still more Explosive
A Benefic in Stationary motion aspected by Benefics will enhance the qualities and give strong Benefic results and their significations of the Planet
A Benefic Stationary Planet is the best if not aspected by Malefics rather aspected by benefics will give the most wonderful results.
A Stationary Planet has the strength 3 times stronger than a normal Planet
When planets, especially Jupiter, Mars and Saturn, become stationary during transitions between direct motion and retrograde motion, they become focused and powerful to give results. The houses and natal planets touched by them by way of a conjunction or an aspect can be triggered and significant results can sprout.
In 2016 Mercury will be not be in favourable element , since it goes in Retrogression in Earthy signs in Capricorn, Taurus and Virgo..One has to be very practical about finding a solution, and strictly adhere to limits of time and budget. Finance acquires a special dimension and should be invested Prudently, else there would be huge Losses . There are no blue days during these Transits, which probably could be at the time of Fiery Sign transit
Experienced stock market analysts who use mathematical models etc.to predict stock market trends have observed that despite all calculations by computers etc. the short term trends in the stock market are difficult to determine as they are primarily dependent on the phycology of the investor. Human phychology is closely related to MOON and MERECURY in astrology. Moon is karka of mind and Mercury is for intelligence, nervous and emotional system .When ever Mercury becomes retrograde, there is tendency for the native to think irrationally and commit errors in the judgement for any thing . Thus Mercury holds the key for unraveling the mystery of short term trends in the stock market.. The Parameters Mercury, Venus and Moon getting afflicted in the Paksha Kundalis indicate a bearish trend in the stock markets from 23rd March 2016 and to be more specific as per the dates mentioned in this article the Bearish and Bullish trends
Saturn Retrogression Saturn will begin to retrograde on the 25th March 2016 at 22.19 degrees till 13th August 2016 at 15.41 degrees , hence from Capricorn navamsha to Scorpio Navamsha
Saturn will be in Stationary motion from 20th March 2016 to 30th March 2016 and on the 20th March 2016 at 22.19 degrees and aspect Jupiter at 22.41 degrees. Hence Paksha Kundali of 23rd March 2016 attains a status of an Enigmatic one . Also it will be Stationary between 9th to 18th August 2016, on the 1st sept. 2016 at the time of Solar Eclipse saturn aspects Sun degreewise. Jupiter stationary Motion on the 5th May 2016 and Mercury at the highest elongation is a very critical date for the trends of the Mercury and the Financial Trends in the Globe .
On 9th of May 2016 on the Day of Akshaya Tritya , we will see the Transit of Mercury on the Disc of Sun which means a planet comes in between the Sun and the Earth,when observed from Earth It will be seen as if a small black disc is moving gradually in front of the Sun. On an average, Such Mercury transits the Sun about 13 times each century. This may happen and be visible at 16.42 hrs IST.Mercury will be in Retrogression till 22nd May 2016 and this Period will be a Colossal Wreck for the World
Mercury is also a Planet which signifies Communication, weather , hence there will be abnormal conditions on account of this also and a Strong Earthquake cannot be ruled out when Mercury is behind Sun and has connection with Moon
As mentioned by me in my article “Astrology Speaks Planetary Cycle Repeat Behaviour :World Economy in Death Spiral” dated 8th Feb. 2016 link https://www.astrodocanil.com/2016/02/astrology-speaks…-in-death-spiral/. The Cycle of all the Planets will be activating the Sign Virgo of the natural Zodiac and the Results will sprout after Both Jupiter and Mercury are in this sign and Mercury special Status after 4th Oct. 2016. I dont want to write the exact dates to encourage Speculation . This Article will only Prove that Hindu Vedic astrology is Supreme and can reach to all levels in life what ever it may be.
