Budh or Mercury is considered as the greatest among the wise. This Devataa
bestows wisdom and wealth etc on his devotees. He removes evil thoughts
from their minds. He is the chief among Gyaanees ( Realized souls). He is
considered Vishnu Roop, because of his beauty and resemblance. A prayer
to him, especially on Wednesdays brings in manifold benefits like removal
of all obstacles, helps one to get a progeny, possession of fertile lands
etc. In the Zodiac this Devtaa is the Lord of Mithun (Gemini) and Kanyaa
(Virgo). He stays like the Sun, one month in each Raashi, and completes
the cycle in 12 months, more or less closely in the footsteps of the Sun.

When Budh is not favorable, do the following -
(1) Avoid green color,
(2) Give any green thing in charity on Wednesday
(3) Keep fast on every Wednesday
(4) Chant "Om Bhoom Budhaaya Namah" - at least 3-4 Maalaa daily
