In Vedic astrology, Budh (Mercury) represents intelligence, communication, logic, writing, speech, analytical thinking, and business skills. A strong Mercury brings wisdom, clarity, good communication, and quick decision-making, while a weak Mercury can lead to confusion, miscommunication, anxiety, and memory issues.

Chanting Budh mantras daily helps strengthen these qualities and aligns you with the grounding, calming, and intellectual energy of Mercury.
