The Sun, Venus and Mercury are weak due to the weakness of their dispositor. The lord of the tenth house, the weak Sun, is closely afflicted by the aspect of functional malefic planet, Mars. Additionally, Venus and Mercury are in the state of combustion, and Venus suffers from affliction by close aspect of Mars. The weakness and affliction of Venus makes the person vulnerable to loss of mental peace due to disturbance in marital relations. The lords of the ninth and fourth houses are badly placed in the twelfth house. There is an exchange of houses by Saturn and Venus in the nativity. During the sub-periods of Saturn and Venus the impact of affliction of Venus by Mars also flares up. The ascendant is closely aspected by the functional benefic planet, Jupiter.

The strong position of Jupiter and the close aspect of Mercury to the most effective point of the tenth house blessed the native with the position as a lecturer, while affliction of the twelfth lord, Venus, and the Sun placed in the fourth house caused problems in the areas of marital life and domestic peace.

The native lost her first husband in the sub-period of Saturn in the main period of Jupiter. Sub-period lord, Saturn is badly placed in the natal chart in the twelfth house whose dispositor is combust, and closely afflicted by functional malefic planet, Mars. The close conjunction of the functional benefic planet Jupiter with the most effective point of the seventh house gave high status husband to the native in her second marriage, as well. Transit influences of weak and afflicted planets kept on generating some problem every now and then connected with the significations ruled by the weak and/or afflicted planets. Mercury, the lord of the house of income, even though combust and weak, is placed near the most effective point of the fourth house, resulting in affluent parents and own income.

This is the chart of Mrs. Benazir Bhutto, who had been the Prime Minister of Pakistan twice. The functional malefic planets Rahu and Ketu mildly afflict the most effective point of the houses occupied by them. The functional benefic planet Jupiter is strong, placed in the middle of the sign. The Moon and Saturn, in spite of their being weak, due to old-age and weak dispositor, are closely conjunct with each other in the eleventh house and create a Rajayoga. The tenth lord, the Sun, exactly aspects the house of status from the eighth house. The functional benefic planet Mercury is well-placed but weak. The lord of the twelfth house, Venus, is badly placed in the house of conflicts. Mars, its dispositor, is in the state of combustion and also badly placed.

The well-placed position of the lord of the house of status helped by the exact aspect of the Sun to the house of status, gave the native the position of a Prime Minister. The placement of Mars, the lord of the sixth house, in the eighth house, gave many rivalries connected with her political ventures. The weakness of the planets generates inauspicious events, every now and then. The axis of Rahu-Ketu near the most effective point of the third and ninth houses involves the third, fifth, seventh, ninth and eleventh houses of the chart besides the ascendant. The native suffered on account of significations ruled by all these houses. The position of PM acquired during Rahu sub-period of Jupiter main period proved to be short-lived. Her second term starting in the sub-period of Saturn in its own main period was comparatively long-lived as predicted in the first edition of this book. She was removed from the position of Prime Minister both times on the charges of corruption. She was assassinated on 27th December, 2007 during the sub period of Rahu in the main period of Saturn. At the time of her death transit Rahu, Ketu and Mars were causing multiple afflictions in the natal and transit charts.

The lord of the fourth house, Saturn, is strong and placed in the seventh house. The lord of the ninth house, the Moon, is strong and exactly influences the most effective points of the fifth and eleventh houses. The native was brilliant in his studies and cleared competitive examination for the top bureaucratic assignments of the country. Jupiter, ruling the house of status, is well-placed in its sign of exaltation, but is weak due to its being in the state of infancy. The lord of the eleventh house, Mercury, being strong and placed in its own mooltrikona sign, blessed the native with excellent analytical power. Taken everything together, these made positive contribution in the matter of status. The functional malefic planet Mars is weak due to being combust, badly placed, in the state of infancy, weak and exactly afflicted by Venus. Venus is weak due to its being combust, debilitated, in the state of old-age, debilitated in navamsa, and exactly afflicted by Mars. The malefic Ketu closely afflicts the badly placed, debilitated and weak Sun in the chart. The weakness and affliction of several planets give deterioration of functional health at an early stage in life i.e. the ageing process starts early in life.

The weakness and affliction to the lord of the tenth house resulted in an obstructed growth in career, in the main period of the Sun. The main period of the Moon, however, put the things back in shape. The weakness of Venus resulted in the weak health of the wife, who became diabetic in a very early stage of life. The native belongs to an All India Service. The main period of Mars does not augur well for health and status matters. The strong position of Saturn is indicative of satisfactory level of assets in life. The strong position of the lord of the eleventh house, Mercury, ensures continuous inflow of good income.

The functional malefic planet Mars is in close conjunction with the most effective point of the seventh house, thus, forming Manglik dosha recognized by the "Systems' Approach" which fructified, as well, in this nativity. Mars also closely afflicts the Sun by way of a close aspect. The Sun, though in infancy, yet influences benefically its house of placement, due to being in close conjunction with the most effective point of the relevant house and in its own mooltrikona sign. The functional malefic planet Venus closely afflicts the weak Mercury. The lord of the fourth house is in infancy and is badly placed. The lord of the ninth house ruling fortune is badly placed in the sixth house.

The native lost her husband at the age of 47 years during the main period of Mars and sub-period of the afflicted Sun in the natal chart. Whenever Mars acts as a malefic, it causes sufferings due to violence, cuts, wounds, accidents, death, etc. In this case, the native lost her husband when the later was undergoing a minor surgical operation. The weakness and bad placement of the lord of the fourth house in association with the presence of a very powerful Manglik yoga clearly indicated disturbed marital life.

The placement of the lord of the house of status in bhagyasthana (the ninth house) and of the Sun in the tenth house indicates employment for the native. The native, a widow, is employed in a bank and is in a position to financially support her and the family.

The functional malefic planet Mars is just on the most effective point of the eleventh house afflicting exactly the most effective points of the eleventh, second and fifth houses. The functional malefic planets Venus, Ketu and Rahu closely afflict the weak Mercury, the lord of the eleventh house. As a result of this, the native had to change the line of business, time and again, because of the obstructions/ reduction in income. Jupiter is weak as it is badly placed in the chart, weakly disposed and the most effective point of its mooltrikona house is exactly afflicted by Mars. The lord of the tenth house, the Sun, is weak due to the weakness of its dispositor and the exact affliction to the most effective point of its house of placement. The lord of the tenth house is quite away from the most effective point of the second house, hence not making any notable positive contribution to the status of the native. The Moon aspects the ninth house but it is weak, due to its being combust, in infancy and not bright. Due to the weakness of the Moon, the father of the native, too, did not enjoy any social and governmental status.

The affliction to the planets is always indicative of trouble. The native had to obtain anticipatory bail to avoid arrest when debilitated Rahu transited the natal Ketu, Mercury and Venus in the end of 1992. The fourth lord, Saturn, being strong in the fourth house does indicate assets, but of moderate value. Business pertained to tools which are ordinary and labor oriented and are ruled by Saturn. This was because of the weakness of the sixth lord which rules the level of financial affluence or resources. The lord of the house of status and family, Jupiter, being placed in an inauspicious place could not generate status and early-marriage for the native, in spite of its close aspect to the Sun, placed in the second house as both planets are quite away from the most effective point of the second house.

Jupiter, the lord of the house of status and wealth, is strong and closely conjunct with the most effective point of the ascendant which gave grand personality to the native, and blessed her with a lucrative employment at a very young age of 20 years. The functional malefic planets Mars and Venus do not form close conjunctions/ aspects in the nativity. The lord of the tenth house, the Sun, is well-placed in the fourth house but weak due to the weakness of its dispositor. The lord of the fourth horse, Saturn, is weak as it is badly placed and debilitated. The real damage amounting to tragedies is when a planet is weak for several reasons and afflicted. The lord of the eleventh house is combust but well placed in the chart and closely aspected by the most benefic planet, Saturn. The lord of the ninth house, the Moon, is placed in the twelfth house and in the state of old-age. During most of the period of the weak Saturn, her parents languished for want of resources and comforts. But, as the Saturn's main period drew to a close, during the sub-period of the well-placed functional benefic planet, Jupiter, the family has benefited by landed property in premium locations in a metropolitan city. The following main period of Mercury, which is a functional benefic planet well placed and beneficially aspected in the chart, changed the fortune of the family altogether. The strength of Jupiter (the significator for husband), the good placement of the Sun (the secondary significator for husband) and the good placement of Venus (the significator for luxuries and comforts) promised early and happy marriage. The functional malefic planets harm the native only if they form close conjunction /aspect in the natal chart. The transit affliction of functional malefic planets over weak position is not as grave as natal afflictions.
