Astrology Lessons - Budhaditya Yoga (Sun-Mercury Conjunction)


The Sun represents Soul and Fame, while Mercury represents Intellect and Business. When these two join, it forms the famous Budhaditya Yoga. This is one of the most common yogas in horoscopes, as Mercury is never more than 28 degrees away from the Sun. It bestows sharp intelligence and excellent management skills.
