Gainful & Profitable

Mercury is the planet of merchants, which also carries the capacity to provide wealth or resources as per sidereal Vedic astrology.

Mercury owns two signs, Gemini and Virgo. Firstly, Mercury in Aries is in 11th from its own sign Gemini, which indicates gains and profits through the topics of the Gemini zodiac sign, which are communication, risking, entrepreneurship, publishing, writing, sports, etc.

A strong Mars as the guide of Mercury enhances these abilities by equipping them with motivation, passion, drive, dynamism, and power to initiate tasks.

As a result of this, these individuals with this set of combinations are very active, intelligent, and eager to take action and manifest their knowledge which are basic traits that allow them to be profitable in undertakings.

The 8th disposition signifies sudden events and positively indicates the sudden improvement of life through unexpected rewards and fulfillment of desires.

On the contrary, with undignified Mars, these natives work hard, earn well, and gain suddenly, but are also prone to lose the earned wealth through gambling, bad decisions, or uncontrolled impulsiveness.

The negatively manifested 8th disposition along with weak Mars gives them the mentality of a thief which they possibly apply in an attempt to gain using tricks or frauds.

Fluctuation Of Fortune

In the classical source Saravali, it is mentioned that one can lose hard-earned wealth, fall into financial debts, and have penalties regarding the same matters.

That is because of two major indications hidden behind the 8th disposition and nature of Mercury.

Namely, the 8th house is one of the difficult houses known as Dusthana Bhava in Jyotish which negatively signifies sudden losses and uncertainty.

Now as Mercury, the planet of merchants forms this disposition, it is indicated that such natives can have fluctuations in their fortunes. That is, there can be sudden losses.

The reason can be due to their rather impulsiveness. Namely, Mercury is somewhat incompatible with Aries because it needs time to analyze before taking action while Aries needs to take action immediately.

Mercury is also adaptable which means that the mentality is flickering and changing tactics regularly which is not suitable in the environment indicated by Aries, where only direct motion is preferred.

So the mismatch can sometimes cause errors in action taking which can lead to sudden losses. However, if the guide of Aries Mercury, which is Mars, is at a favorable angle and/or dignified, it indicates that the losses are restored quickly and transformed into wisdom which leads to sudden gains soon.

Resistant But Tricky Mentality

These natives are with resistant mentality but also a highly volatile mind as stated in classical source Saravali. The mental (Mercury is mental intelligence) resistance is provided by the fiery and courageous sign Aries.

Wherein the volatility comes through the adaptable nature of Mercury. With that being said, they are friendly and supportive, but also very aggressive and prone to start quarrels.

It also means that sometimes they appear to change positions often while the other times they maintain their viewpoints and position strictly with bravery in their hearts.

If Mars is dignified, they become extremely durable, disciplined, and competitive. Hence, they have the ability to handle opposition along with the courage to confront all the issues or obstacles.

This is how a strong Mars enhances the mental intellect provided by Mercury. As a result, they become extremely cunning as well in addition to being resistant.

A Mars, which is dignified or in a favorable disposition from Mercury (improves friendship), indicates that these natives have the special ability to be strategically swift and persistent at the same time.

It is very rare as a person can usually be either very straightforward or flickery. However, natives with Aries Mercury and well-disposed Mars can be both in different environments and harness different traits in demand.

If Aries Mercury is supported by the exalted Sun in Aries, then such natives are extremely righteous and never abuse their special skill of adaptability. That is, they harness their tactics and waver from side to side for righteous purposes only.

An undignified Mars indicates that they are prone to provoke disputes and fights for their selfish and secretive motives. It also means that the flickery and wavery mindset is caused due to lack of confidence or rapidly changing selfish motives.

Restless

When considering the fact that both Mercury and Mars are quick and fast in nature, these natives tend to become restless.

Moreover, Aries which is ruled by Mars is extremely straightforward and quick in taking action leaving less time for Mercury to analyze the steps ahead.

As a result, they become restless and quick in responding to the environment. Their strong mentality and critical thinking greatly support them in generating quick yet efficient responses.

If Mars is dignified, the Mercury in Aries is endowed with great power of concentration and forward motion. Hence, their restlessness benefits them in such cases. They are eager to take action fast and also have the capacity to analyze quickly. As a result, they are able to take their necessary steps without hesitation and fear.

On the contrary, an undignified Mars causes waste of its energies because of excessive hesitation, friction, and loss of concentration power. The inability to harness these restless energies effectively results in unnecessary tension and stress.

Writing & Publishing

Mercury as the planet of information transfer also gives great ability to succeed in activities that are related to the written form of communication, writing, or publishing in general.

The fiery energy of Mars will boost their activity and endurance in activities related to writing.

If Mars is positive in the chart, their arguments are well guided and help them to achieve their desired outcomes in their activities related to publishing. Furthermore, this dominating style of communication will help these natives a lot in their profession where this trait is highly valued.

That is to say, they are self-assertive and thus capable of authorizing themselves and their arguments to the public efficiently.

In Saravali it is stated that such natives can be involved with topics that are out of this world which is also related to the deep and unknown 8th disposition.

The energies of the 8th house belong to the triangle of salvation and thus carry very deeply spiritual energies. They are capable of channeling messages from hidden or divine sources.
