What is this Yoga?
Budhaditya Yoga is one of the most common yogas, forming when the Sun and Mercury are conjunct. Since Mercury never strays more than 28 degrees from the Sun, this conjunction occurs in roughly one-third of all charts.
The yoga combines the authority and confidence of the Sun with the intelligence and communication skills of Mercury. When both planets are strong and Mercury is not combust (more than 5 degrees from the Sun), the yoga produces sharp intellect, administrative ability, and fame through knowledge.
However, when Mercury is very close to the Sun (within 5 degrees), combustion weakens Mercury's intellectual clarity. The yoga is strongest when Sun and Mercury are in signs where both are comfortable — Leo, Gemini, or Virgo.
