What is Budhaditya Yoga?
Budha (Mercury) + Aditya (Sun) Yoga is one of the most common yogas since Mercury never strays more than 28° from the Sun. However, its strength varies significantly. The yoga is strongest when Mercury is not combust (within 14° of Sun), when both occupy a Kendra or Trikona, and when they are in signs of dignity (Mercury in Gemini/Virgo, Sun in Leo/Aries). When strong, it grants sharp intellect, communication skills, and success in intellectual pursuits. A combust Mercury weakens the yoga considerably.
