In other words, Mercury in Virgo is equipped with a special protective and supportive shield.
To add auspiciousness to this combination, Mercury is in 4th from its another sign Gemini. Herein the 4th house is an auspicious quadrant or Kendra Bhava which signifies peace of mind, domestic happiness, motherly care, mental comfort, physical comforts, luxuries, conveyances, property, land, etc.

Hi martin! According to you mercury in 12th house of libra ascendent is good for furtune. But if any bad planet or enemy planet is sitting with mercury, does it reduces the impact of mercury? Or mercury is very strong in its own house, so bad planet become weak?
As Mercury and Mars are inimical, the favorable effects are reduced. Mars in the 12th is not considered very powerful either. But matters are not the worst as Mars is in friendly sign.
Thanks a lot martin for your reply 🙂

The 10th house and its lord along with influences from planets on them via aspects play major role in determining the occupation or main activities in life.
When looked at other perspective, strong traits of Mercury favors the native in whicver field they are active depending on the 10th house and lord. With that being said, all the strong traits mentioned in this article benefit them in their career. The more the given career promts them to harness these traits, the more successful they are.

Hello Atendra Singh Patel
Thank you very much for your feedback. I am truly grateful for it!
When it comes to conjunctions, a lot of careful blend of energies must be made. You are going in good direction with dignities.
Sun with Mercury is creating auspicious combination increasing intelligence naturally. Mars with Sun increases confidence, assertiveness, courage, self worth, and pride to a great extent.
Mars endows Mercury with dynamic approach and confidence in thinking processes. It makes you definitely more dynamic and clever thinker but sometimes too ambitious which causes situations where you forget to consider the feelings or needs of others. You are way too forceful with your ideas and strategies which can overwhelm your audience.
If you address all the energies this conjunction gives, you are able to mitigate negative effects by acknowledging how possible issues may arise in your life.
In general, this combination in Virgo is giving mostly auspicious effects for you.
