Mercury in First House

Mercury is a significator of education, learning, intellect, logic, Skin, Nervous system, astrology, arithmetic etc. The ascendant amongst other things represents the body of the native. Mercury is a benefic planet unless he is associated with or aspected by a malefic or he is combust on account of nearness to the Sun.

He will like to travel to many places.. He will be inclined towards Mantras and Tantras and will have the power to free people from the influence of evil spirits. He will be soft spoken, learned, of a forgiveable nature and kind hearted. He will go on pilgrimages in his 27th year and will have enormous gains of wealth and will attain distinction in academic pursuits. 

If Mercury is in conjunction with or in the house of a malefic, the native will suffer from diseases (possibly skin diseases), bilious troubles and jaundice. If Mercury is associated with or in the house of a benefic, the native will maintain good health. His body will glitter like gold on account of good health, he will take interest in the study of astrology. He will have a defective limb, will be antagonistic towards gentlemen and will suffer from eye diseases. In his 17th year he will have inimical relations with his brothers and will be deceitful.

There will tend to be a constant need to communicate and move around. This one always seems to be talking, writing, and running all over the place.

If Mercury is in his own sign or in his sign of exaltation in the first house (which is also Lagna Kendra), Bhadra yoga (a Panch maha-purusha yoga) is formed, 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."
