Exalted Mars is placed the second house in Capricorn, benefic exalted Rahu is placed in the sixth house in Taurus, benefic exalted Ketu is placed in the twelfth house in Scorpio, benefic Jupiter is placed in the first house in Sagittarius and Moon is placed in the third house in Aquarius. In this case, the native may engage in the field of law. He may become a lawyer, he may practice at a higher court of law and he may come across good amount of success, money and recognition as a lawyer.

If benefic Sun is placed in the ninth house in Leo and benefic Saturn is placed in the tenth house in Virgo with Mercury and Venus, the equation may improve.

The native may witness very good amount of success, recognition and authority as a judge. The native may work within the established norms of law and he may not go beyond them, in most cases. It means that he may not be known for his trend-setting and/or revolutionary judgments, and he may deliver decisions, more within the expected lines. If the finer factors and running times are supportive, the native may become the chief justice of a higher court of law, or even that of the highest court of law of his country.

Benefic Jupiter is placed in the seventh house in Taurus, Mercury is placed in the tenth house in Leo, benefic Rahu is placed in the third house in Capricorn and Ketu is placed in the ninth house in Cancer with benefic Moon.

If the finer factors and running times are supportive, the native may earn billions as the owner of a production house which may be one of the largest production houses of its time.

 

The placement of debilitated Venus in the twelfth house is a difficult one. Venus is weak due to debilitation and the twelfth house features a hostile environment. Apart from that, Venus is generally partly benefic and partly malefic in horoscopes with Libra ascendant, though the benefic part is higher. Hence such debilitated Venus needs support from an overall strong and positive horoscope as otherwise, it may fail to produce significant positive results and it may even turn malefic. The concept of various planets exhibiting tendencies to be benefic or malefic on the basis of the houses they rule in a horoscope has been explained in the chapter ‘Gemstones for House Lords’ of the book ‘Gemstones: Magic or Science? (Revised Edition)’.

Taking an example, suppose debilitated Venus is placed in the twelfth house of a horoscope in Virgo with exalted Mercury. Benefic Sun is placed in the eleventh house in Leo with Jupiter, benefic Mars is placed in the first house in Libra, benefic Saturn is placed in the ninth house in Gemini and benefic Moon is placed in the fifth house in Aquarius.

He may spend many years in study related to various aspects of astrology and he may start practicing as an astrologer, after the age of 30 or 35. The native may possess good knowledge of astrology and he may come across success, money and recognition as an astrologer.

If benefic debilitated Rahu is placed in the second house in Scorpio and benefic debilitated Ketu is placed in the eighth house in Taurus, the equation may become better. In this case, native’s father may be an astrologer. The native may learn astrology from his father and he may practice under the guidance of his father, for many years. After the age of 30 or 35, the native may engage in independent practice as an astrologer. He may possess very good knowledge of astrology and he may come across a lot of success, money and recognition as an astrologer.
