Mercury in Scorpio Sidereal
Budha in Vrishchika: same reading as in Mesha, religious disbelief and questioning the meaning of the shastras.
Why accept without discussion? This question could be yours. Budha in Vrishchika, the sidereal Scorpio, reads like Mesha, because Mangala's two signs go together. Two close ideas follow: disbelief toward religion, and questioning what the shastras, the teachings of knowledge, really mean.
Mangala rules this sign. To read the sign itself, open Scorpio sidereal; to read all about Budha, see the Budha guide.
