Nature

Benefic when alone or with benefics; takes the color of strong malefic company. Rajasic, quick, the eternal student — neutrality is its power and its lesson.

Significations (karakatvas)

Karaka of speech and intellect: language, analysis, mathematics, trade and commerce, writing, humor, skin and nervous system, maternal relatives, youthfulness. Where Mercury stands, you think, connect and transact.
