Intelligence
बुधादित्य
Formation Condition
Sun and Mercury conjunct in the same sign.
Effect
Intelligence, communication skill, administrative ability, analytical mind with authority.
Rarity
Very common — Mercury can never be more than 28° from Sun. BUT: true Budhaditya requires Mercury NOT combust.
Strength Factors
Mercury must be ahead of Sun in degrees (morning star). Must not be within 14° (12° if retro) for full effect.
Cancellation
If Mercury is combust: the yoga technically exists but is severely weakened. Most claimed Budhaditya are actually combust Mercury.
