The Sun is close to the most effective point of the third house but is weak due to weakness of its dispositor. The happiness, assets, education and general happiness of life is connected with the self-efforts of the native as the Sun is on the most effective point of the third house. The weakness of the Moon, however, makes the self-efforts less rewarding. Saturn, ruling the house of profession and fame, is strong in the chart. The functional malefic planets Venus, Mars and Jupiter are closely conjunct in the second house. They combine the impact of diseases, death/accidents and losses in the family. All these three functional malefic planets are closely aspected by Ketu from the sixth house. During the main period of Venus, there had been many unhappy events in the life of the family. During the sub-period of Rahu, the native's father suffered from a paralytic attack. The following sub-period of Jupiter could not help, as its nature for the nativity is also malefic. The fifth lord, Mercury, even though being exalted in navamsa, is weak and does not form close conjunction with the most effective point of the third house in the rasi chart. Similarly, Saturn is also quite away from the most effective point of the eleventh house. That is why the benefic contribution of both Saturn and Mercury was restricted. However, placement of Mercury in the house of initiatives and placement of the lord of the tenth house, Saturn, in the house of income blessed the native with self-employment. For warding off the evils of malefic influences caused by functional malefic planets, the native was suggested propitiatory remedial measures for Jupiter, Mars, Venus, Rahu and Ketu. The malefic effects are indicative of troubles to family, which includes parents, husband and children, and self-health. The later part of the life of the native is likely to be quite unpleasant. During Ketu's sub-period in the main period of Venus the native's husband met with an accident. Ketu afflicts the lord of the house of bed-comforts, Mars, and the significator for husband, Jupiter.

The Sun occupies the eleventh house, but its power is also restricted as it is debilitated in navamsa and its mooltrikona house is exactly afflicted by Mars. The Sun gave her affluent parents. Thelord of the fifth house, Mercury, is weak on account of combustion, debilitation and having its mooltrikona house exactly afflicted by Mars. This has caused lack of understanding. Venus is in its sign of exaltation, but its strength is also reduced as it is in old-age and closely afflicted by the Rahu-Ketu axis. Venus is to protect the health of Taurus born people.

Saturn, the yogakarka planet for the nativity, occupies the third house. Saturn is weak due to the weakness of its dispositor and the exact affliction of Mars to the most effective point of its mooltrikona house. Venus's own favorable placement as lord of the house of health acts as the protector of health against the afflictions in the chart. During the sub-period of Venus in the main period of Rahu, the native could come out of severe physical problems created by malefic transits with the help of the astral-remedies.

The Sun is weak as it is debilitated in navamsa and its mooltrikona house and house of placement is afflicted by the most malefic planet, Jupiter. Rahu is in the seventh house and closely aspects the significator for wife, Venus.

The tenth lord is well placed and exalted in navamsa and makes for the deficiency created by the weak Sun to some extent with the help of strong lords of the third and fifth houses, the native enjoyed the position of the Chief Minister for more than a decade, before joining the Central Government in India as a Minister.
