Benefic retrograde Mercury placed in twelfth house of a horoscope can bless the native with good results related to profession, marriage, overall creativity, wisdom, spiritualism and many other things, where the type and quantum of results witnessed by different natives may be different depending on the type and strength of this benefic influence in their horoscopes as well as depending on the overall tone of the horoscopes of these natives.

Such positive influence can render good, very good or great results related to the professional sphere of the native and accordingly some natives benefitting from this placement may achieve success through various professional fields. Some natives under this positive influence may go to foreign countries in order to pursue their higher studies and after completing their studies, they may choose to settle in those foreign countries and they may also get good or very good professional success in those foreign countries. For example, the presence of benefic retrograde Mercury in the twelfth house of a horoscope in the sign of Sagittarius can make the native go to some foreign country in order to receive higher education and accordingly such native may receive his higher education in some foreign country.

The native may decide to settle in the same foreign country after completing his studies and this tendency may further increase if there are some other benefic combinations in his horoscope, which support such settlement in a foreign country. For example, if benefic Jupiter is placed in the tenth house of the same horoscope in the sign of Libra, the native under the combined effect of these benefic planets may decide to stay in that foreign country after completing his studies and he may engage in a profession relative to his studies, in the same foreign country. Such native is likely to stay in that foreign country on the basis of his profession for many years and he is also likely to achieve good amount of professional success.

If benefic Venus is also present in the twelfth house of the same horoscope in the sign of Sagittarius along with benefic retrograde Merucry and benefic Jupiter is placed in the tenth house of the horoscope in the sign of Libra, the native under the combined benefic effect of these three planets may perform very well at his studies abroad and he may achieve very good amount of professional success in a field of profession relative to his line of studies. The combined effect of these benefic influences can also bless the native with a beautiful wife belonging to a foreign country and the native may get permanently settled in a foreign country in this case, on the basis of his marriage as well as on the basis of his profession.

Benefic retrograde Mercury in the twelfth house of a horoscope can also render success to the native under its influence through many creative lines and accordingly some natives benefitting from this placement may become movie actors, directors, editors, song writers, script writers, book writers, poets, singers, painters, sculptors, dancers, dance directors, video game designers and many other types of professionals who engage in creative fields. Here again, the type of creative field chosen by different natives under this influence as well as the amount of success achieved by these different natives depend on the type and strength of this placement as well as on the overall tone of the horoscopes of these natives.

For example, the presence of benefic retrograde Mercury in the twelfth house of a horoscope in the sign of Capricorn can make the native interested in some type of writing and accordingly, he may become a song writer, script writer, book writer, article writer or a writer dealing with some other type of writing depending on the other factors in his horoscope. If benefic Jupiter is placed in the tenth house of the same horoscope in the sign of Scorpio, the native under the combined influence of these benefic planets may achieve good amount of success, money, recognition and fame through his writings.

Such a native is likely to be bent towards writing more content related to the genre of mystery, suspense, fantasy, science fiction, paranormal or supernatural and he is likely to mark his presence with his unique and intriguing style of writing. If benefic Venus is present in the fifth house of the same horoscope in the sign of Gemini, the success achieved by the native under the combined effect of these three benefic planets can increase many times and such native may achieve success, fame and recognition on national level or even more, provided his overall horoscope allows it.

Considering one more example of the similar type, the presence of benefic retrograde Mercury in the twelfth house of a horoscope in the sign of Cancer can make the native more interested in signing or acting than in writing and accordingly, such native may get more and more interested in making a career in signing or acting or in both of them. It means that the native under such benefic influence may first start his career as an actor and he may then start singing also or he may start his career as a singer and he may then start acting also.

The presence of benefic Jupiter in the twelfth house of the same horoscope in the sign of Cancer can make this equation more beneficial as the presence of such benefic and exalted Jupiter may add much more creativity as well as much more success to the equation. Hence the native under the combined effect of these two benefic planets may become a famous singer or actor or both and he may achieve very good amount of success through these professions. It should be noted that the native under the effect of these two benefic influences is more likely to be a singer who specializes in the genre of singing which is soft, meaningful and soothing type of singing instead of going for hard rock type of singing. In the acting field also, such native is more likely to be an actor who is best known for his works related to the genres of dramatic and emotional acting involving many emotions and expressions, instead of being an actor known for his action movies or stunts.

If benefic Moon is present in the first house of the same horoscope in the sign of Leo, the success and fame achieved by such native under the influence of these benefic planets can further increase and in this case, such native can become a popular singer or actor on national level and he may also have his influence on international level, though such influence may not be very big. The presence of benefic Rahu or benefic Venus in the tenth or twelfth house of the same horoscope can further make more changes to his equation and accordingly, the results obtained by such native may change again. The presence of benefic Venus in tenth or twelfth house of the horoscope can render even more creativity, success and fame to the native and accordingly this native may receive more recognition as a singer or actor including some formal awards also.

It should be noted that the presence of benefic Venus in tenth house of this horoscope in the sign of Taurus, when benefic retrograde Mercury and benefic Jupiter are placed in the twelfth house of the horoscope in the sign of Cancer and benefic Moon is placed in the first house of the horoscope in the sign of Leo, can bend the native more towards acting and less towards singing. It means that such native may primarily achieve success and fame through his acting but his may also engage in singing. On the other hand, the presence of benefic Venus in the twelfth house of the same horoscope can bend the native more towards singing and accordingly such native may primarily achieve success through his singing and at the same time, he may act in some movies too.

Talking about the presence of Rahu in the tenth or twelfth house of the same horoscope, if benefic Rahu is placed in the tenth house or twelfth house of the same horoscope instead of benefic Venus when all other combinations remain as they are, the native may achieve success and fame not only on national level, but he may also get good amount of fame and recognition on international level also. Such native may become famous or very famous on international level depending on his horoscope and if the overall horoscope is supportive, he may also receive some formal recognition or award for his acting or singing work, on international level. For example, the presence of a combination of benefic Rahu and benefic Venus or the presence of a combination of benefic Mars and benefic Rahu in the tenth house of the same horoscope, when all other combinations of twelfth house and first house hold, can bless the native with recognition and even with a formal award for a piece of his acting or singing.

Apart from this, benefic retrograde Mercury placed in the twelfth house of a horoscope can bless the native with good results through many other professions and accordingly the natives under such good influence may become successful professionals like astrologers, scientists, astronomers, space travelers, psychics, healers, religious or spiritual gurus, preachers, priests, doctors, consultants, politicians, government officers dealing with foreign affairs or the ones posted in foreign countries on behalf of their governments, people dealing in imports and exports of various products, people dealing in airline and international cargo or courier services, people engaged in navy or air force, people running businesses on international level like big multinational companies, and many other type of people dealing in many other types of professions.

Benefic retrograde Mercury in the twelfth house of a horoscope can also render very good results related to the marriage and married life of the native under its impact due to which, many natives benefitting from this placement may get blessed as far as their marriages are concerned. Such benefic placement can also bless the native with deep wisdom and spiritual growth due to which some natives under this positive influence may conduct researches in various fields whereas some other natives may achieve very good results in the domain of spiritualism and many of them may get such results through meditation. Benefic retrograde Mercury placed in the twelfth house of a horoscope can render a great number of positive results to the native under its influence and the results mentioned here are just a few of them.

On the other hand, malefic retrograde Mercury placed in the twelfth house of a horoscope is one of the very bad placements of this planet when it turns negative and accordingly, it can trouble the native under its bad influence with many types of problems related to many spheres of his life including his profession, marriage, overall health, lifespan, education and many other aspects of his life. Hence many natives under this bad influence may suffer from different problems in different spheres of their lives depending on their overall horoscopes.

Malefic retrograde Mercury in the twelfth house of a horoscope is especially very bad for the marriage and married life of the native due to which some natives suffering from this bad influence may get married late or very late in their lives due to various reasons whereas some other natives suffering from this bad influence may have to face many problems in their married lives, including long separations and divorces. For example, the presence of malefic retrograde Mercury in the twelfth house of a horoscope in the sign of Scorpio can cause delay in the marriage of the native and accordingly such native may have to wait for long or very long period of time before he gets married.

If malefic Saturn, malefic Ketu or malefic Moon is also present in twelfth house of this horoscope, such delay in marriage may extend and the native under the combined influence of these malefic planets may get married very late in his life, provided there are no other marriage promoting combinations in his horoscope. Speaking about these combinations, the presence of benefic Jupiter or benefic Rahu in the seventh house of the same horoscope in the sign of Gemini can still get the native married with some delay, despite the presence of such marriage delaying combinations. However, the presence of malefic Ketu or malefic Saturn in the seventh house of the same horoscope when malefic retrograde Mercury is placed in twelfth house of this horoscope along with some other malefic planet, can cause long delay in the marriage of the native and the combined effect of these malefic influences can also keep the native away from marriage, for his entire life.

Looking at another possibility, the presence of malefic retrograde Mercury in the twelfth house of a horoscope in the sign of Sagittarius may not delay the marriage of the native but such malefic placement can cause many problems in the married life of the native. Accordingly, the native under the effect of such malefic influence may have to face frequent fights, arguments, disagreements and separations from his life partner, from time to time. If malefic Mars or malefic Rahu is placed in the seventh house of the same horoscope in the sign of Cancer, the native under the combined influence of these malefic planets may have to face a divorce which is finalized after suffering from a very bad marriage.

However, the presence of malefic Saturn in the seventh house of the same horoscope in place of malefic Mars can give a different twist to the problems due to which, the native suffering from the combined effect of malefic retrograde Mercury in twelfth house in the sign of Sagittarius and malefic Saturn in the seventh house of his horoscope in the sign of Cancer may have to suffer through his marriage, in a different way. Such native may suffer from serious disagreements as well as differences of opinion with his wife and these differences may keep intensifying with time until a stage reaches where the native either stars staying away from his wife, which means they are physically separated, or they continue living under the same roof, but they behave like strangers to each other. The irony of these malefic combinations is that the native suffering from them may have to spend many years in separation from his life partner without a divorce and in some extreme cases, the native may not get a formal divorce from his life partner throughout his life and his marital status may remain ‘Separated’ for the rest of his life.

Malefic retrograde Mercury in the twelfth house can also cause problems related to the professional sphere of the native due to which different native suffering from this bad influence may witness different type and different quantum of problems related to their professions. In some extreme cases, such malefic influence may introduce criminal tendencies to the native under its impact and accordingly such native may become a criminal. When there are some other malefic influences present in the horoscope of such native and the overall horoscope is also negative, such native may have to spend many years in prison as a punishment for some crime that he may have done. In extreme cases of this type, the native under the combined effect of malefic retrograde Mercury in the twelfth house as well as some other malefic planetary influences in his horoscope may have to suffer a life sentence or even a death penalty by some court of law, by virtue of a crime committed by him.
