Birth of Mercury
Moon, seeking divine knowledge, went to Jupiter’s ashram to learn the Vedas. While studying, he often interacted with Jupiter’s wife, Tara, who served food to the students. Unlike her strict and disciplined husband, Moon was warm, charming, and deeply attuned to emotions. Tara, feeling neglected by Jupiter’s rigid ways, was drawn to Moon’s affectionate nature. Over time, they fell in love, and Moon, overwhelmed by his emotions, took Tara to his kingdom. When Jupiter discovered this, he demanded her return, but Moon refused. Indra intervened, warning of severe consequences, and Venus, the guru of the Asuras, saw an opportunity to strengthen the Asuras by supporting Moon. This realization woke Tara from her emotional trance, and she returned to Jupiter, seeking forgiveness. With his boundless wisdom and compassion, Jupiter accepted her back.
However, Tara was already pregnant, and in Jupiter’s ashram, she gave birth to Mercury. With Moon as his father and Jupiter as his mother’s husband, Mercury inherited the intelligence of both but remained incomplete—brilliant yet always seeking more. Unlike Jupiter, who represents deep, liberating wisdom, Mercury embodies practical knowledge that helps one navigate the material world. He is witty, logical, sharp with numbers, and a master of communication. Mercury brings fun, liveliness, and problem-solving skills, making life dynamic and engaging. Those with strong Mercury energy are quick thinkers, skilled speakers, and natural managers, able to sort through complexity with ease. Unlike Jupiter’s solemn wisdom, Mercury keeps things light, humorous, and youthful. He ensures that knowledge isn’t just about discipline and enlightenment but also about adaptability, curiosity, and the joy of learning in an ever-changing world.
