Workplace gossip draining you? Mercury is getting messy again [Career Astrology]

The office buzzes with hidden tension. Words fly—half-truths, sly smiles, shifting eyes. Conversations happen behind closed doors. You feel the weight of whispers. It isn’t loud, just constant. A draining hum, heavy and cold.

Vedic astrology turns to Mercury. The planet of speech and mind. When afflicted, it stumbles. Words lose shape, intent blurs. Misunderstandings become the norm. What was clear yesterday unravels today.

Mercury in a difficult house? Or receiving malefic aspects? It twists communication into knots. The chart reveals scattered signals. Dasha periods intensify the noise. You try to speak—but get misread. You stay silent—but still judged.

Gossip isn’t just idle talk. It infiltrates your work, your name. Invisible hands sculpt false stories. Reputations crack without cause. You’re there, but not heard rightly. The office becomes a hall of echoes.

Ancient remedies call for balance. Mercury needs clarity, not noise. Recite mantras, wear gemstones, fast. Light a ghee lamp on Wednesdays. But even rituals feel faint here. The damage sits deeper—in trust lost.

You want quiet—not just outside, but within. A space where thought feels safe. Where words are tools, not weapons. Where truth has room to breathe.

Yet the cycle returns. Someone whispers. Someone listens. Someone distorts. You remain caught, drained. Not broken—but cautious now. Words can heal—but they can also cut.

Perhaps Mercury teaches discernment. Not all speech is worth reply. Not all silence means defeat. Maybe the lesson is this: protect your voice. Guard your truth. And in the noise, become your own stillness.
