DRISHTI

Mercury drishti

Mercury drishti carries Budha's learning and communication function toward the 7th sign from its Rashi.

The idea in context

Mercury casts supported whole-sign Parashari drishti to the 7th signs counted from its own Rashi.

MAKE IT CONCRETE

An example to picture

Mercury in Mithuna reaches Dhanu in the supported whole-sign method.

How to read it

Count from the source sign and connect Budha's specific function with the target rather than importing a Western orb reading.

A common misunderstanding

A sign-based contact does not measure intelligence or guarantee mutual understanding.

Go deeper: the full reference

Supported whole-sign sights

Count the source Rashi as the 1st sign. In the current bounded rule set, Mercury reaches the 7th.

Interpretive use

Drishti links the source graha’s symbolic function with the target graha or Rashi field. It describes a relationship to explore, not an event prediction or personality verdict.
