Mercury (Budh) represents speech, intellect, and the teeth. The 10th house is the house of karma and public life.
When Mercury sits in the 10th house, the person's speech becomes incredibly sharp and calculating. If afflicted, their words become venomous. Lal Kitab poetically states that their teeth become like the fangs of a snake ("saamp ke daant"). When they speak, they bite, injecting poison into their professional relationships and destroying their own karma.
🪔 The VAYOM Remedy
To neutralize this venomous speech, Lal Kitab offers a profound remedy: Wash your teeth with Ganga Jal (holy water).
Ganga Jal represents the pure, cooling energy of the Moon. By physically cleaning the teeth (Mercury) with holy water (Moon), the person purifies their speech, turning their "snake fangs" back into tools of wisdom.
