This is why I always say that Vastu and Astrology are deeply connected. You cannot fix your life if your house is fighting your birth chart!
Mercury (Budh) represents greenery, plants, and communication. The 3rd house represents your courage, your siblings, and your daily efforts. When Mercury sits in the 3rd house, it is in the house of Mars (its enemy).
If you have this placement and you start planting broad-leaved plants (like Money Plants or large indoor palms) inside your home, you are physically amplifying a negative Mercury. The result? Your courage will drop, your business efforts will fail, and you will feel like you are hanging upside down, completely stuck in life.
🪔 The VAYOM Remedy
If you have Mercury in the 3rd house, keep your home free of large, broad-leaved indoor plants. Instead, keep your environment clean, airy, and focus on helping your siblings.
