Mercury, also called the Budh Garah in astrology, is a major career planet that holds a career domain in astrology. A person’s career is seen from the Mercury placement and its influence in his/her birth-chart (kundli). 

A weak Mercury (Budh) in the kundli can create hurdles, communication gaps, poor intellect, and analytics that, in-result can cause several difficulties in individual’s profession/career. On the other hand, an individual with strong Mercury in the kundli has naturally good communication ability, in-depth analytical and research skills, and a strong sense of humor, leading to career success in the early stages.

A strong Jupiter blesses a person with moral values, intelligence, and decision-making ability, leading to stability and prosperity in life.
