Mercury in the 2nd house in Lal Kitab
Mercury in the family's temple: income through speech, trade and intelligence, kept by honest dealings.
Mostly helpfulWhat Lal Kitab says
The 2nd house belongs to Jupiter, which Mercury treats as neutral, and Lal Kitab reads Mercury here as earning through speech, accounts, trade or teaching. The person is sensible with money and persuasive in family matters. The book asks for clean speech at home and fairness with sisters and daughters in the family's money.
Why Mercury behaves this way here
The 2nd house belongs to Jupiter (a neutral house), so Mercury is a guest here. Its own house is the 7th, 6th.
Its relationship with the owner is neutral: the result depends mostly on what else in the chart it connects to.
