Budhaditya Yoga
Also known as Budha-Aditya Yoga
The yoga of Sun and Mercury — sharp intellect, communication skill and success.
What is Budhaditya Yoga?
Budhaditya Yoga is formed by the conjunction of the Sun (Aditya) and Mercury (Budha). Since Mercury never travels far from the Sun, this is a fairly common combination — but when well-formed, it grants a bright, sharp intellect, strong communication skills and success in education, career and public life.
Natives with a good Budhaditya Yoga are often intelligent, articulate, versatile and well-regarded, doing well in fields that reward the mind and the word — business, writing, teaching, administration and analysis.

The yoga is weakened if Mercury is deeply combust (too close to the Sun), which can scorch its significations. A Budhaditya in a strong house with Mercury at a workable distance from the Sun gives the best results.
