Benefic retrograde Mercury placed in the seventh house of a horoscope can render good results to the native, related to the spheres of marriage, profession, fame, authority and some other spheres of his life depending on the type and strength of this benefic placement as well as depending on the overall tone of the horoscope of the native. Benefic retrograde Mercury in the seventh house of a horoscope is especially very good for the marriage and married life of the native and accordingly the natives benefitting from this placement may witness good marriages and other good results after and through their marriages.

For example, the presence of benefic retrograde Mercury in the seventh house of a horoscope in the sign of Virgo can get the native married to someone rich and established and accordingly the financial as well as social status of the native may see good or very good rise after marriage. This benefic placement in the horoscope of a female in particular can get her married to someone rich or very rich and she may enjoy a much better quality of life after her marriage, compared to the quality of life enjoyed before marriage. This equation can become even better if benefic Moon also joins this benefic influence in the seventh house of the same horoscope in the sign of Virgo and accordingly, the number of gains as well as the quantum of such gains received by this female native may increase many times. Such a female may witness a very good marriage where she may get the love and support from her husband and she may be blessed with good children also, through this marriage.

Considering one more example, the presence of benefic retrograde Mercury in the seventh house of a horoscope in the sign of Capricorn can also render good results to the native under such influence and such native may get married to someone hailing from a foreign country. This native may get settled in a foreign country by virtue of his marriage and his standard of living may rise after his marriage where such rise in his standard of living depends on his overall horoscope. For example, if benefic Moon, benefic Sun, benefic Mars, benefic Venus, benefic Jupiter, benefic Saturn or benefic Rahu is present in the seventh house of the same horoscope along with benefic retrograde Mercury in the sign of Capricorn, the benefits received by such native through his marriage may increase many times. The presence of benefic Rahu in this house with benefic retrograde Mercury can get the native married in a foreign country and make him settle there, whereas the presence of benefic Venus in the same house can bless the native with very supportive life partner who cares for him and who supports him throughout his life.

The presence of benefic retrograde Mercury in the seventh house of a horoscope in the sign of Leo can bless the native with a life partner who may hold a position of power and authority in some government or private organization. If at the same time, benefic Sun is also present in the seventh house of the same horoscope in the sign of Leo, the life partner of such native may be very influential by virtue of some post of power and authority or by virtue of being a powerful political leader. Such placement in the horoscope of a female in particular can bless her with a resourceful and well connected husband who may not only help her rise high in life but who may also help her family members achieve success in their lives.

If benefic Jupiter is also present in the seventh house of the same horoscope in the sign of Leo, such female may get married to a top class officer, a powerful politician, a famous lawyer or a very well established and very well connected business person. The combined effect of these three benefic planets in the seventh house of the horoscope of a female can bless her with high class power and authority by virtue of her husband. It means that the husband of such a female native may be a powerful and resourceful man and this native may also enjoy a considerable part of that power and resources. In cases where the overall horoscope of such female native is strong, she may herself get elevated to a position of power and authority with the support of her husband.

Benefic retrograde Mercury in the seventh house of a horoscope can also give good results related to the professional sphere of the native and accordingly, different natives benefitting from this positive placement may witness different type and different quantum of results in their professional spheres depending on the important factors in their horoscopes. Some natives benefitting from this good influence may pursue the practice of law as their profession and they may also achieve success in such practice depending on their overall horoscopes. For example, the presence of benefic retrograde Mercury in the seventh house of a horoscope in the sign of Sagittarius can make the native interested in the study as well as in the practice of law and accordingly this native may receive a formal degree in law and then start practicing it.

If benefic Rahu or benefic Saturn is also placed in the seventh house of the same horoscope in the sign of Sagittarius, the native may become successful in his profession of law and he may achieve good amount of income, success and fame through his profession. If benefic retrograde Mercury is placed in the seventh house of a horoscope in the sign of Sagittarius along with benefic Rahu and benefic retrograde Saturn is placed in the tenth house of the same horoscope in the sign of Pisces, such native may get elevated to the post of a judge after practicing for some years as a lawyer or such native may make very good amount of money and fame through his practice of law, provided his overall horoscope supports all this.

Moving further, if all these combinations hold and at the same time, benefic Jupiter also joins benefic retrograde Saturn in the tenth house of this horoscope in the sign of Pisces, the amount of success and fame achieved by the native may increase many times and such native may either become a lawyer of national fame or he may get elevated to the post of a judge in some higher court of law, after practicing as a lawyer for some years. If benefic Moon also joins benefic Jupiter and benefic retrograde Saturn in the tenth house of the same horoscope, such native may either make great amount of financial fortunes and fame by practicing as a lawyer or he may eventually get elevated to the post of a judge in the highest court of law in a country, provided there are no other strong malefic influences restricting his success.

When working positively, retrograde Mercury in the seventh house of a horoscope can bless the native with success through many other professions also and this placement is also very good for making the native benefit through his own business. Accordingly, many natives benefitting from this placement may start their own businesses or practices and they may achieve different amounts of success through them. For example, the presence of benefic retrograde Mercury in the seventh house of a horoscope in the sign of Leo can make the native interested in starting his own business and accordingly such native may start some business depending on the overall tone of his horoscope.

If benefic Sun is also present in the seventh house of the same horoscope in the sign of Leo, the amount of success that this native may receive through his business or practice may increase many times and accordingly such native may achieve more success through his profession. If benefic Jupiter is present in the tenth house of the same horoscope in the sign of Scorpio, the native may become even more successful in his profession and he may become the owner of a business which spreads over many cities and states. If benefic Venus also joins benefic Jupiter in the tenth house of the same horoscope in the sign of Scorpio, such native may achieve professional success on a grand level and he may witness great amounts of financial incomes and great growth through his business, provided there are no other malefic placements in his horoscope, which restrict or limit his success. For example, the presence of malefic Ketu in the first house and malefic Rahu in the seventh house of the same horoscope can restrict the amount of success achieved by the native.

On the other hand, malefic retrograde Mercury placed in the seventh house of a horoscope can create many problems for the native under its influence and such malefic placement is especially very bad for the marriage aspect of the native since seventh house is directly related to the marriage and married life of the native and the placement of any negative planet in this house directly creates problems in marriage of the native under such bad influence. Accordingly, different natives suffering from this malefic influence may witness different types of problems related to their marriages and married lives depending on the type and strength of this placement as well as depending on the overall horoscopes of these natives.

Some natives under this bad influence may have to face delay in getting married and accordingly they may get married late or very late in their lives and some of them may even have to face one or more than one marriage alliances which are finalized but which don’t materialize. It means that such a native may get engaged to someone for marriage but such marriage may not materialize and the alliance may break any time between the time of engagement and the time of marriage. Some of these natives may get rejected many times when they are trying to get married in an arranged kind of way, which means that the other party may see their credentials, meet them, take their time to decide and then they may finally send a rejection to these natives or to their parents.

Some of these rejections may come after a long period of time as well as after a long history of communication between the two parties, which means that the other party may engage in a communication, the communication may keep going to the next levels and when it starts looking like the marriage proposal is going to finalize, the other party may send a rejection and in some specific cases, they may not even send a rejection and they may simply back out or become unavailable for any further communications on the matter. The placement of malefic retrograde Mercury in the seventh house of a horoscope is a very tricky placement as far as the marriage aspect of the native under its influence is concerned and accordingly, it can cause a number of problems for the native after the marriage, as well as before the marriage.

Looking at one more problem that such a native may experience before his marriage, the presence of malefic retrograde Mercury in the seventh house of a horoscope in the sign of Taurus along with the presence of Jupiter or Venus can cause a different type of pre-marital upset for the native under such influence. Such native may have a love relation with someone and such love relation may continue for a long period of time like for many years. When all looks very good and the native finds that the time is right for both of them to get married and start a life and the native makes his intentions clear to his lover, the other party may start finding excuses and they may finally back out from the marriage as well as from the whole relationship. This can result in loss of many valuable years of native’s life, which he had dedicated to the love of this person and this can also make the native suffer a lot on emotional as well as on other practical fronts of his life.

Pre-marital problems are just a part of the complete profile that his malefic influence holds and the worst type of problems related to marriage, faced by a native under such malefic influence are usually faced after marriage. Malefic retrograde Mercury in the seventh house can cause severe damages to the marriage and married life of the native and if the overall horoscope of the native is also negative, the native under such bad influence may have to face two or more than two broken marriages after suffering horrible experiences not only through those marriages, but also through the processes of breaking ups of those marriages. It means that such native may face many problems and troubles through his marriages which finally break and the divorces may also be finalized through court cases or through dramatic and torturing social set-ups.

For example, the presence of malefic retrograde Mercury in the seventh house of a horoscope in the sign of Taurus can cause problems in the marriage of the native under this malefic influence where the quantum of these problems depends on the overall tone of the horoscope of the native. Such bad influence can cause disagreements, arguments, differences of opinion, clashes and lack of trust between the native and his life partner and such problems may keep increasing with time, in frequency as well as in quantum. If at the same time, Venus is placed in the sixth house of the same horoscope in combination with malefic Rahu, malefic Ketu, Malefic Saturn or Malefic Mars, the problems of this native may increase many times and he may have to face severe arguments, fights and exchange of heated as well as taboo words in his marriage.

The combined effect of such malefic influences can finish the first marriage of the native under such influences in less than a year of the marriage after a history of bad experiences, provided there are no marriage saving combinations in the horoscope of such native. The first divorce in such a case is almost always finalized in some very bad way, which means that such divorce may either be finalized through some police or court case after the involvement of mud-slinging from both the parties or such divorce may be finalized through a series of family as well as social encounters between the two affected parties and their families. In extreme cases, when such malefic combinations are strong and the overall horoscope of the native is also not very supportive, the native under the combined effect of such bad influences may have to spend some time in prison, by virtue of a police case filed by his wife or her parents, against the native.
