- Mercury Planets · planets
Mercury is the messenger of the gods, moving swiftly between all realms. As the only planet visiting both the underworld and olympus, Mercury represents the mind that can go anywhere, understand anything, and communicate across all boundaries. Also the patron of thieves, merchants, and magicians.
- Hour of Mercury Planetary hours · planetary_hours

- Bhadra Yoga Jyotisha · jyotish
Bhadra is the Mercury form of the mahapurusha yoga. It is read as eminence in the works of the mind: scholarship, law, administration, and the kind of influence that comes from being the person who understands the matter.
- Budha Jyotisha · jyotish
Budha is Mercury, the graha of the discriminating intellect, speech, writing and trade. It owns no single field the way the other grahas do, because it is the faculty rather than the subject: the reasoning that organises counting, language, contracts and the dexterity of the hands. A strong Mercury is a mind that can hold and arrange many things at once, and that is why it is the graha of the administrator and the merchant alike.
- Budha-Aditya Yoga Jyotisha · jyotish
Mercury never travels far from the Sun, so this combination occurs in roughly a third of all charts, and its strength turns almost entirely on how far Mercury stands from the Sun. It is the standard combination for a scholar, an administrator or a writer.

- Ashtottari Dasha Jyotisha · jyotish
Ashtottari gives a hundred and eight years to eight grahas - the Sun 6, the Moon 15, Mars 8, Mercury 17, Saturn 10, Jupiter 19, Rahu 12 and Venus 21 - and excludes Ketu, who is given no lordship in this system at all. It is not a variant of Vimshottari to be chosen at will: the classical condition for its use is stated by BPHS, and where the condition does not hold the tradition keeps Vimshottari.
- Asta Jyotisha · jyotish
A graha within a fixed number of degrees of the Sun is asta, combust: it does not rise heliacally, its light is lost in the Sun's, and its significations are read as burnt. The orbs BPHS gives are the Moon 12 degrees, Mars 17, Mercury 14 direct and 12 retrograde, Jupiter 11, Venus 10 direct and 8 retrograde, and Saturn 16.
- Trimshamsha Jyotisha · jyotish
D30 divides each sign into five unequal parts of five, five, eight, seven and five degrees, ruled by Mars, Saturn, Jupiter, Mercury and Venus in odd signs and in the reverse order in even signs. It is the only varga of unequal division, and it is the chart of evil: the kind of harm a life meets and the planet that brings it.

The period in force is found by adding three to the number of the birth nakshatra and dividing by eight, the remainder giving the yogini.

- Orb of an Aspect Aspects · aspects
The allowance of degrees within which a configuration is treated as an aspect at all. It is a convention, not an observation, and the two main conventions disagree in kind: the traditional orb is a property of the planet and is halved into a moiety, so the permitted distance between two planets is the sum of their moieties; the modern orb is a property of the aspect and is applied uniformly.
- Bharani Nakshatras · nakshatras
- Bandhu Bhava Jyotisha · jyotish
The fourth bhava is the mother, the home, land and property, the vehicles one rides in and the happiness of the inner life. It is a kendra and the first house of the moksha trine (4, 8, 12), which is the tradition's way of saying that the home and the heart are where the question of liberation first arises.
- Karma Bhava Jyotisha · jyotish
The tenth bhava is the career, the work done in the world, status and authority. It is the highest point of the chart (the midheaven in Western terms) and a kendra, and it is also an upachaya house, so the career grows with time. The 10th from the Moon and the 10th from the lagna are both read, and they need not agree.

- Bi Chinese mansions · chinese_mansions

- Biquintile Aspects · aspects
Two fifths of the circle. The biquintile closes the pentagram that the quintile opens: where 72 degrees gives a native capacity for form, 144 degrees gives the same capacity at a remove, so it tends to appear as craft exercised on material already made by someone else, or as a talent that only shows when the person is finishing rather than starting.

- Cancer Zodiac · zodiac
Cancer is the 4th sign of the zodiac, water and cardinal, ruled by Moon.
- Ceres Planets · planets
Ceres is the Roman grain mother—the Greek Demeter—the goddess who makes the fields bear and who withholds the harvest when her daughter is taken. Her myth is the founding story of the seasons: loss, search, bargain, and an annual return that is never quite whole. In astrology she marks how we nourish, what we will not let go of, and what we do with grief.
- Chandra Jyotisha · jyotish
Chandra is the Moon, the graha of the mind (manas), the mother, the emotions and the public. Because the mind is what Jyotish reads most closely, the Moon's sign, nakshatra and phase are read beside the lagna, and a whole chart can be taken from the Moon (Chandra lagna). It rules Cancer and is the karaka of the 4th house.
- Chiron Planets · planets
Chiron is the centaur who teaches every Greek hero and is wounded by a poisoned arrow he cannot cure, trading his immortality for another's release. In astrology he marks the place where you are both wounded and gifted, and where the only way through is to become useful from it.

The elephant and the lion are the two animals of strength in the Indian imagination, and the yoga is read as strength that is both patient and commanding.

- Guru Jyotisha · jyotish
Guru, or Brihaspati, is Jupiter, the graha of dharma, wisdom, the teacher, children and law. It is the karaka of the 5th house and, with the Sun, of the 9th, so the two houses of the guru and of the disciple are both read from it. Its period is the longest but one in the Vimshottari cycle and is generally read as the most benign.
- Hasta Nakshatras · nakshatras

- Ketu Jyotisha · jyotish
Ketu is the south lunar node, the other chaya graha, and the point of what has already been finished. It gives detachment, spiritual aptitude, loss without explanation, and a peculiar blindness in the affairs of the house it occupies: the native does not see what Ketu covers, and does not much want to. Its gem is the cat's eye (lehsunia, chrysoberyl) and its metal iron.

- Magha Nakshatras · nakshatras
- Mangala Jyotisha · jyotish

It gives the will to cut and to act, and it is the karaka of the 3rd house and, with Saturn, of the 6th. Its benevolence is a function of what it is aimed at: the same Mars gives a surgeon and an accident.
