When benefic in nature, debilitated Mercury placed in the seventh house of a horoscope can bless the native with good results related to marriage, health, profession, finances and many other types of good results. Hence the natives under the effect of this benefic planet may experience some of these good results depending on the overall tone of their horoscopes. Debilitated Mercury in the seventh house of a horoscope becomes one of the most significant planets in that horoscope due to which it should be studied very carefully. This is because when debilitated Mercury is placed in the seventh house of a horoscope in the sign of Pisces, the sign Virgo ruled by Mercury falls in the first house of that horoscope. Hence Virgo becomes the first house or ascendant of that horoscope and Mercury being the planetary lord of the sign Virgo becomes the lord of the first house or the lord of ascendant in such horoscope.

Since the house of ascendant is the most important house of a horoscope, the effect of any benefic or malefic planet on this house of a horoscope can reflect in the entire horoscope, positively or negatively, depending on whether the influences affecting this house are positive or negative. Similarly, any type of weakness or strength experienced by the lord of ascendant in a horoscope can also affect the entire horoscope significantly, positively or negatively. When debilitated Mercury is placed in the seventh house of a horoscope, the lord of ascendant becomes debilitated and hence the entire horoscope becomes weak. There are no doubts that when Mercury is placed in its sign of debilitation in the seventh house of a horoscope, the chances of such horoscope behaving in strong manner are reduced as the lord of ascendant for such horoscope is very weak. Therefore, even benefic debilitated Mercury placed in the seventh house of a horoscope may not do many good things for the native as it indicates weakness to the entire horoscope.

However all is not lost and there are still many factors that can strengthen and improve such horoscope, as no single planet can govern an entire horoscope on its own, whether such planet is weak or strong, positive or negative; and even if such planet is the lord of ascendant in a horoscope, like in this case. The influence of benefic planets on the first house of such a horoscope or the influence of benefic planets on such debilitated Mercury in such a horoscope can provide extra strength to the horoscope and the results may become better. However the influence of malefic planets on the first house of such a horoscope or the influence of malefic planets on such debilitated Mercury in a horoscope can make the situation even worse. This is due to the reason that such malefic influences can further weaken the overall positive equation of such horoscope due to which the native may have to suffer a lot in many spheres of his life. Therefore, when debilitated Mercury is placed in the seventh house of a horoscope, strong positive planets are required to make such horoscope work in a positive way as otherwise, such horoscope may become negative or very weak.

When supported by other benefic planets, benefic debilitated Mercury in the seventh house of a horoscope can especially bless the native with good results related to his marriage due to its placement in the seventh house, which primarily deals with the marriage of the native under its impact. Hence the natives under its impact may benefit through their marriages in many possible ways depending on the overall tone of their horoscopes. Some natives blessed by such benefic debilitated Mercury may get married to people belonging to foreign countries and they may settle in such foreign countries on the basis of their marriages. Some other such natives may get married to rich and well established people, some of them may get married to people who may hold posts of power and authority through jobs or through politics and some of them may get other types of benefits through their marriages, depending on their overall horoscopes.

Considering an example, if benefic debilitated Mercury is placed in the seventh house of a horoscope in the sign of Pisces along with benefic Sun, benefic Venus is placed in the ninth house of this horoscope in the sign of Taurus and benefic Jupiter is placed in the twelfth house of this horoscope in the sign of Leo, the native may get married to a foreign citizen. The native blessed by such benefic debilitated Mercury and other benefic planets may get married to a woman who may be a foreign citizen and he may settle in a foreign country on the basis of his marriage. The combined effect of such benefic debilitated Mercury and other benefic planets may get the native married to a woman who may be a foreign citizen but who may originally belong to the country of origin of the native. It means that the wife of this native may originally belong to his own country but she may have obtained the citizenship of a foreign country through her parents or through some other means.

However if benefic Rahu is placed in the eleventh house of this horoscope in the sign of Cancer and benefic Ketu is placed in the fifth house of this horoscope in the sign of Capricorn when benefic debilitated Mercury and other benefic planets are placed in the already mentioned houses, the equation may change. The native under the combined effect of such benefic debilitated Mercury and other benefic planets may fall in love with a girl who may be a native foreigner, he may get married to her and he may settle in the country of her nativity on permanent basis. The native blessed by such benefic debilitated Mercury and other benefic planets may also achieve success through his profession in such foreign country, apart from enjoying the pleasures of a good marriage. As more benefic influences add to this horoscope, the native blessed by all such benefic planets may profit even more through his marriage. For instance, if benefic Moon is placed in the seventh house of this horoscope in the sign of Pisces along with benefic debilitated Mercury and Sun, the native may enjoy an even better marriage and he may also receive many benefits through some other spheres of his life.
