The document discusses 7 ways to determine whether the planet Mercury should be considered a natural benefic or a natural malefic in astrology. It states that Mercury has an inclination to be a natural benefic if inspected alone. It will be a natural benefic if associated with Jupiter, but a natural malefic if associated with other negative planets, especially if those negative planets have a strong influence and Jupiter's influence is weak. If Mercury is with strong negative planets but Jupiter is also strong, it is a judgment call depending on the overall karmic pattern.

7 Ways to Determine Whether Mercury can be considered a N.B. or an N.M.
When is Mercury considered a Natural Benefic or a Natural Malefic?
1. ME’s inclination is to be a NB, if inspected (ignore the Sun…Sun is
always close). 2. Even if the Moon is a NM, it’s not enough on its own; it needs other planets (confluence) to give a negative effect. 3. If ME is with JU (the teacher), ME will be a NB. 4. If ME is with bad company, ME will be a NM. 5. If ME is with “hoods” (NM’s) with a weak or ordinary NB (substitute teacher), ME stays NM when a strong enough influence. 6. If ME with “hoods” (NM’s) (no matter how many bad “hoods”…it could be all of them) and JU is strong (strong teacher), ME will “kiss butt” to the teacher making it NB. 7. If ME with strong “hoods” (NM’s) & a strong JU (NB), then it is fixed karma, and the karmic pattern is not clear enough; you will have to make a judgement call.
