Mercury occupies its own mooltrikona sign in the ascendant. Even being exalted, Mercury lacks full strength as it is combust and in the state of infancy.

The lord of the second house, Venus, is placed in the eleventh house. Venus, though placed in an auspicious house, becomes weak, as its dispositor, the Moon, is debilitated. Rahu-Ketu axis is close to the most effective points of the houses occupied and mildly afflicts the houses occupied and aspected. Rahu closely aspects and mildly afflicts Venus. The weakness and affliction of Venus told upon the level of status and accumulation of wealth of the native.

Jupiter, the lord of the fourth house, is strong and placed in its own mooltrikona sign, but is away from the most effective point of the fourth house. In such cases, the strength of Jupiter promotes the general significations of Jupiter, for example, progeny, disciplined and ethical life, sincerity and honesty. It does not powerfully influence the significations of the houses aspected by it as it is quite away from the most effective point of the house of its location. Functional benefic planets, Mercury, Venus and the Moon, are weak, while Jupiter is in strength. Whenever a mooltrikona sign rises in the ascendant, the longevity comes into focus. In this nativity, the weakness of Mercury and close affliction to the ascendant by functional malefic planet, Saturn, is indicative of middle life span. Had such Mercury been placed in a dusthana, say, the twelfth house, other things remaining the same, the native would have had a short life span. The native was born in the sub-period of the functional benefic planet, well-placed and weak Mercury, in the main period of Saturn. The native also saw the main period of Mercury in life. The native pursued the course of engineering but due to weakness and affliction to the lord of the second house, ruling status, could not acquire higher status in life.

Debilitated lord of the eleventh house kept the earnings on lower side. The strong lord of the fourth house helped the native to acquire a degree in engineering. This Jupiter also blessed the native with well-behaved sons and domestic happiness. Though due to the weakness of the Moon and affliction to the ascendant by Saturn there were spells of mental worries to the native, yet he generally maintained good physical health. As the chart did not indicate full span of life, the native died of an accident in the fifty-first year of his life.

The sign Virgo rises in the ascendant, whose lord Mercury is placed in the eleventh house. The functional malefic planet, Mars, closely aspects the most effective points of the ascendant, the fourth and fifth houses and mildly afflicts the houses occupied and aspected. The extent of affliction is 25%. The Sun, the lord of the twelfth house, ruling bed comforts and peacefully enjoying the company of the spouse, is weak due to old-age and is closely afflicted by Ketu. The extent of affliction is about 50%. Jupiter, the significator for husband and lord of the fourth house ruling bliss of the marital life, is also weak as it is combust. Saturn closely afflicts the houses occupied and aspected including the fourth house and the Moon, the lord of the eleventh house. The weakness of the lord of the fourth house and afflictions to the most effective point of the fourth house by most malefic planet, Mars, and functional malefic planet Saturn indicate disturbed and short-lived marital bliss. The lady lost her husband after two and a half years of marriage in the sub-period of the combust Jupiter.

The close affliction of various houses and the Sun and the Moon by functional malefic planets, is clearly indicative of tragic happenings in life. The weak and afflicted fourth house also indicates the uncomfortable position of the parents.

Some people hold the view that those who prescribe astral-remedial measures are incompetent to make predictions. We can only pity at their lack of power to understand. The afflictions and weaknesses identified with the help of the Systems' Approach clearly indicate the picture as in this case and there cannot be two opinions. The only opinion will be suffering. But such people forget and disregard Maharishi Parashara, who propounded the theory of remedial measures. The preventive remedial measures provide relief from sufferings, while remedial measures after some tragic incidence help in rehabilitation.

The placement of the Moon in the ninth house shows relationship between the source of income and father. The native, in such cases, derives benefit from his/her own father. The lord of the house of status, though in the state of old-age, is well-placed in the ninth house. This is indicative of native acquiring position in life through the help and assistance of father. The placement of the lord of the ascendant is also indicative of earnings by self-effort.

Predicting future is one part of the story in case of Astrology while remedial measures are the essence, which helps us in providing umbrella during cloudy days.

Mercury, when strong, makes a person analytical in approach and its weakness robs the person of that power. In this case, Mercury and Jupiter, ruling the ascendant and the fourth house, are combust. The native had higher education in non-analytical subjects. The weak Jupiter and the severely afflicted and badly placed Venus denied the timely marital bliss to the native. Regarding the functional malefic planets, Ketu afflicts Venus, Saturn does not form any close conjunction/aspect in the chart, the Sun afflicts Mercury and Jupiter, and Mars afflicts the weak Jupiter and the houses occupied and aspected closely.

Here the marriage was delayed and denied up to the age of 47 years due to the factors elaborated earlier. However, performance of remedial measures generated circumstances for marriage but, because of the weak Mercury, the native erred in judgment and agreed for marriage with a person whose legal divorce for an earlier marriage was pending in the court of law. The celebration of the marriage was delayed for some more years.

The good placement of the Moon in the chart has given the native self-earned income and benefits from parents. The influence of Jupiter, the planet signifying education and knowledge, has given the profession of a teacher to the native.

The native has been advised strict observance of remedial measures for Rahu, Ketu, the Sun and Mars for success in the delayed marriage. Here again, the only conclusion from weak and afflicted Jupiter and Venus and weak and afflicting Mars and the Sun, without the help of astral remedies, is absence of marital bliss.

This is a very peculiar chart, indeed. Due to the influence of the Sun on the weak lord of the second house, the native wanted to go in for administrative services, while astrological factors indicate that the native can work in an organization dealing with research or analysis. Mercury is placed in the fifth house in close conjunction with debilitated but functional benefic planet, Jupiter, but is weak as it is afflicted by the Rahu-Ketu axis. Jupiter is debilitated and also closely afflicted by the Rahu-Ketu axis. In spite of his attaining a academic postgraduate degree in economics, the native could not find a job. First his direction for pursuing an administrative career was wrong as a comparatively strong Mercury indicated success in an analytical job, and secondly, when he got selected for some foreign fellowship in the field of research, he could not go because of paucity of funds due to the weak and afflicted Venus. Let us see the rest of the planets in the chart. Venus (ruling the house of status), Mars and Saturn are combust. Besides, Venus is additionally weak as it is in infancy and afflicted by the Sun. Rahu-Ketu axis (about 22% affliction) aspects the houses occupied/aspected, including the income and emotional peace ruled by eleventh and fifth houses, respectively. The Sun and Saturn closely afflict each other. The Moon is strong, well-placed and unafflicted but is quite away from the most effective point of the tenth house. The Moon has promoted its general significations like long lived parents, education, good mental strength and elder brothers.

The operation of inauspicious sub-periods of Mars and Rahu in the main period of weak and afflicted Jupiter and sub-periods of combust Saturn and afflicted Mercury in the main period of Saturn has completely shattered the native, because of successive failures in spite of the good educational background and family circumstances. Weakness and affliction of the lords of the second and fourth houses have delayed employment and marriage. The strict observance of astral remedies can improve the situation to a limited extent at the rehabilitation stage.

The lord of the ascendant, Mercury, is weak due to combustion, bad placement, old-age, weak dispositor, affliction (closely conjunct with the lord of the twelfth house) and the most effective point of its mooltrikona sign being exactly afflicted by the Rahu-Ketu axis. The Rahu-Ketu axis and functional malefic planet, Mars, are closely afflicting the most effective point of the ascendant and the houses aspected. The fourth lord is placed in the third house in the state of infancy and the most effective point of the third house is exactly aspected by Ketu. The lord of the second house, Venus, is weak as it is placed in the twelfth house and has a weak dispositor. The lord of the eleventh house, the Moon, is weak as it is badly placed in the chart, has a weak dispositor and the most effective point of its mooltrikona sign is exactly afflicted by Ketu. The functional malefic planet, Saturn, is afflicting the houses occupied and aspected by it. The ascendant and its lord are having severe afflictions and are devoid of a benefic influence.

The marital life of the native remained totally inharmonious. The native was so much harassed in life that she tried to commit suicide in the main period of Saturn (a functional malefic) and sub-period of the Sun (another functional malefic afflicting the lord of the ascendant closely). All the functional benefic planets have been rendered helpless due to weakness, afflictions and bad placements. The suicide attempt of the native did not succeed in September 1989. The chart only promised a middle life span.

The lord of the ascendant, Mercury, is combust, badly placed, in infancy and has a weak dispositor, but it is closely aspected by the functional benefic planet, the Moon. The lord of the fourth house is strong and placed in the ninth house. The ascendant is not having any close malefic aspect. The combust Venus is exactly afflicted by the Sun but having a close favorable aspect from Jupiter. The eighth lord's placement in the eighth house has provided strength to the eighth house for conferring substantial inheritance on the native. The position of the fourth lord in the ninth house shows that the parents, property and education play a very important part in the life of the native. Benefic Jupiter's placement in the trine is very strategic as it widely aspects the ascendant, the third house and the fifth house, and closely aspects the Sun and Venus, lord of the house of status. Jupiter conferred good education and high status and the sub-periods of Jupiter favored the native gainfully. Saturn's placement is indicative of some conflicts in the matters of profession and property as mooltrikona sign of Saturn falls in the sixth house and its placement is close to the most effective point of the eighth house. The placement of the Moon in the twelfth house gave income to the native from foreign lands in the main period of the Moon. The placement of the Sun, though afflicting for Venus, is beneficial for the natural significations of the Sun.

The lord of the ascendant, Mercury, is strong and closely conjunct with the ascendant in its sign of exaltation. The ascendant is occupied by another functional benefic planet, Venus, which is weak as it is debilitated. The functional malefic planets, the Sun and Saturn occupy their respective mooltrikona signs in the chart providing strength to their general and particular significations in the nativity. The afflictions are the close aspect of Mars to Saturn, the mild aspect of Saturn to Jupiter, and the close aspect of Rahu to the Moon. Jupiter is weak as it is in its sign of debilitation in the navamsa. The lord of the eleventh house, the Moon, is in the eighth house and closely afflicted by Rahu. There is an exchange of houses by Mars and the Moon in the nativity. This relationship of the eighth lord with the lord of the eleventh house is indicative of income from foreign lands.

The weakness and affliction of the Moon is indicative of undesirable behavior of friends and unfavorable fluctuations in income levels. The strong and unafflicted Mercury made the native an engineer, MBA, and highly analytical in approach. The weakness of Jupiter and Venus were responsible for lack of mental peace in the matters of profession and relationships. During the main period of Mars, the native served in a foreign country and earned wealth. The sub-period of Jupiter in the main period of Rahu brought the native back to his native place. Rahu's affliction to the Moon occasionally created obstructions in the sources of income. The weak functional benefic planets give benefits of comparatively lower order but whenever they are transited by functional malefic planets there is some amount of harm.
