Frequently Asked Questions
What does Mercury retrograde (Budh Vakri) affect?
Mercury governs communication, trade, travel, contracts and technology. During its retrograde these areas can see delays, miscommunication and review-worthy decisions — a good time to re-check, re-plan and finish pending work rather than launch new ventures.
What remedies help during Mercury retrograde?
Recite the Budh Beej mantra "Om Bram Breem Braum Sah Budhaya Namah", donate green moong dal, offer green items on Wednesdays, and double-check documents before signing. Practical care — backups, clear communication — is the most useful remedy.
Should I avoid all decisions during Budh Vakri?
No. It is simply a period that favours review over initiation. Routine work continues normally; just verify details, confirm appointments and avoid rushing major contracts if you can wait.
