It is in true friendship that your love blossoms with Mercury DaraKaraka…
Mercury as DaraKaraka puts a big emphasis on friendship and exploring mutually enjoyed activities in your relationship. You seek a partner who you can have fun with and who gets your sense of humor. Your spouse will be very communicative, with a lot of hobbies and interests. Mercury is a nice DaraKaraka to have, because relationships based on friendships mean you feel free to express your true nature instead of pretending to be someone you’re not. When you’re young you may have to learn that the person who is “the most fun” doesn’t always make the best partner.
As always, the sign and house your DaraKaraka is placed in provides greater detail. For example, if your DaraKaraka is in Pisces, then your spouse will have some other kind of Piscean influence. The house your Darakarka is placed in will be a significant house for your spouse. They’ll have important planets placed there and their personality will have to do with the qualities of that house. Mercury as DaraKaraka often means your spouse has Gemini or Virgo significant in their chart, such as their Sun sign, ascendant, etc.
When judging your Mercury Darakaraka, it’s important to consider planetary relationships.
Conjunctions and aspects from friendly and enemy planets affect the qualities of the DaraKaraka. Positive aspects and conjunctions to Mercury will create more harmonious communication. Venus is a great friend to Mercury, so Venus conjunction or aspecting Mercury will improve your enjoyment of your spouse. Jupiter is neutral to Mercury, but as a benefic planet, it gives a positive influence to the spouse in a conjunction.
The Moon, however, is an enemy to Mercury. The Moon’s conjunction or aspect creates emotional issues that get in the way of a friendly relationship. A Saturn conjunction or aspect makes your spouse more serious-minded, and so on.
Another thing about Mercury DaraKaraka is your spouse may be younger. Your spouse brings a sense of fun and lightheartedness to your relationship.
I have a mercury darakaraka in the first house (Libra), conjuncting venus. What does that mean?
Tenho mercurio darakaraka , ele está em leão na casa 6, tive esse relacionamento por mais de 20 anos, ele realmente é uma pessoa mais jovem que eu, 3 anos, com o ascendente em gêmeos, mas foi um relacionamento muito dificil, por estar numa casa de sofrimento, que levou a separação.
Hi Regiane, that is a great example of Mercury Darakaraka (Gemini ascendant, a few years younger) thank you for sharing. Sorry for the ending of a long relationship and the struggles you faced, 6th house can indeed cause conflict and obstacles.
Virgo rising here, well, my dk Mercury(not aspected by any planets) is conjunct with my AK Venus in 8th house in the sign of Aries for my d1 chart. Little concerned here because of it’s placement in Dushtana house but on my d9 dk is posited at 1st house of Taurus rising, is my dk placement that bad?
It definitely helps that it is in a great friend sign in your D9. That Venus conjunction with your Mercury in D1 is also helping and it’s good it’s not receiving any malefic aspects. It’s not too surprising that someone with their ascendant lord and AK in the 8th house would be drawn to another 8th house personality- the house placement of the DK often indicates an area of life that the spouse is involved in.
Mercury darakaraka in cancer conjunct jupiter in rasi, mercury vargottama conjunct venus in navamsa. Lucky me 🙂
I notice a guy I really like has a Leo sun and darakaraka of Mercury. He is not even a year younger than I am and we have the same Mercury in Virgo placement with Saturn. My Mercury is exalted but conjunction with Jupiter in my tenth house so clearly with three planets in Virgo and Mercury being exalted with my atma and Mercury is my amayatkaraka (indicator of career) conjunct with my atma, I kind of find it ironic we work together in offices next door to each other. (Me as atma and my amataykaraka are conjunct almost like he and I are at work literally) my darakaraka is the sun. I think the fact I have Saturn conjunct here makes me like his darakaraka with Saturn too and while I’m not younger, I do have that jupiterian jovial fun light hearted nature as I am also a Sagittarius ascendant. As he is a Sagittarius moon. He has his sun in Leo. So clearly sun is bright in his chart. I think I found my next husband.
Mercury darakarka with moon and Venus in the 11th house in Scorpio!! Something I need to know?
What happens when mercury is conjunct with sun and rahu in 5 house?
I have read alot of articles but haven’t found anything.
Looking forward towards your reply!
Well, you have DK conjunct Sun, ruled by Leo, and in the house of Leo. So, the spouse becomes very solar in nature. If this conjunction is happening in good dignity, we can assign positive traits like steadfastness, leadership, or someone who is in the public eye or attracts a lot of attention. With that Rahu there, there may be more exaggerated egoism, or someone who is a lot more extroverted/does things in extremes. Rahu’s influence can also make the spouse foreign/from a different background.
