Benefic debilitated Mercury placed in the tenth house of a horoscope can bless the native with good results related to profession, finances, health, fame, marriage and many other types of good results. Accordingly the natives under the effect of this benefic influence may experience some of these good results depending on the overall tone of their horoscopes. Debilitated Mercury in the tenth house of a horoscope becomes one of the most significant planets in that horoscope and hence it should be studied very carefully. This is because of the reason that when debilitated Mercury is placed in the tenth house of a horoscope in the sign of Pisces, the sign Gemini ruled by Mercury falls in the first house of that horoscope. Hence Gemini becomes the first house or ascendant of that horoscope and Mercury being the planetary lord of the sign Gemini 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 in a horoscope, the effect of any benefic or malefic influence 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 tenth 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 tenth house of a horoscope, the chances of such horoscope behaving in strong manner are reduced as the lord of ascendant for such horoscope is weak. Hence, even benefic debilitated Mercury placed in the tenth house of a horoscope may not do much good 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. 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 improve. 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 fact that such malefic influences can further weaken the overall positive energy 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 tenth house of a horoscope, strong positive influences are required to make such horoscope work in a positive manner as otherwise, such horoscope may become negative or very weak.

When supported by other benefic planets, benefic debilitated Mercury in the tenth house of a horoscope can especially prove good for the profession of the native and it can bless him with success through many fields of profession. This is due to the fact that the tenth house of a horoscope primarily deals with the profession of the native and the placement of any benefic planet in this house of a horoscope can render success to the native, through many fields of profession. Hence the natives under the effect of benefic debilitated Mercury in the tenth house of their horoscopes may engage in many fields of profession and they may achieve the amount of success through them, as allowed by their overall horoscopes.

Some natives under the effect of such benefic debilitated Mercury may engage in professions related to special abilities like spiritualism and astrology; some of them may engage in the professions related to the field of hospitality like hotel industry, airline industry or tour and travels industry, some of the may achieve posts of power and authority in the house of government through jobs or through politics and some of them may go abroad on the basis of their professions and they may achieve success in such foreign lands.

Benefic Saturn, Rahu and Ketu may add more strength to this horoscope and the presence of benefic Jupiter in the tenth house of this horoscope may form Neechbhang Rajyoga along with benefic debilitated Mercury. Benefic Jupiter being the lord of the sign Pisces may cancel the debilitation status of benefic Mercury placed in the same sign and these two benefic planets may form Neechbhang Rajyoga in the tenth house of this horoscope which may gain more strength due to the presence of benefic Sun in the tenth house.
