When working positively, benefic exalted Mercury placed in the eighth house of a horoscope can bless the native under its influences with good results related to his profession, finances, marriage, health, spiritual growth and many other types of good results. Accordingly the natives under the effect of this benefic influence may come across some of these good results depending on the overall tone of their horoscopes. Such benefic placement can bless the native with success in many fields of profession depending on the overall tone of the horoscope of the native under consideration. Some natives under the effect of such benefic exalted Mercury may get interested in special fields like astrology or other such fields and they may engage in one such field on professional basis, if their overall horoscopes are supportive.
For example, if benefic exalted Mercury is placed in the eighth house of a horoscope in the sign of Virgo, benefic Rahu is placed in the tenth house of this horoscope in the sign of Scorpio, Ketu is placed in the fourth house in the sign of Taurus and benefic Moon is placed in the first house of this horoscope in the sign of Aquarius, the native may become an astrologer. The native under the combined effect of all these benefic planets may conduct study and research in various topics related to astrology and he may start practicing as an astrologer after that. The presence of such benefic exalted Mercury and all other benefic planets in various houses of this horoscope can bless the native with good amount of success through this field of profession. At the same time, if benefic Jupiter is placed in the tenth house of this horoscope in the sign of Scorpio along with benefic Rahu; and benefic Sun is also placed in the eighth house of this horoscope in the sign of Virgo, the equation may improve a lot.
Accordingly the native under the combined effect of all these benefic planets may achieve much more success as an astrologer and he may earn very good amount of money, fame and recognition through this field of profession. The addition of a benefic combination of Mars and Venus to the third house of this horoscope in the sign of Aries when benefic exalted Mercury and all other benefic planets are placed in the already mentioned houses of this horoscope can provide more strength to this horoscope. The native may now become an astrologer of national fame and he may earn very good amount of money, fame, recognition and success as an astrologer. The combined effect of all these benefic planets can bless him with very good knowledge of astrology and hence the native may have a very good success rate as an astrologer.
This native can also write some books on various topics of astrology and he may also appear on some television shows based on the theme of astrology. The fame, success and knowledge of this native may keep increasing after his age of 35 and he may accomplish some very good results after his age of 41. As more benefic influences add to this horoscope, the native under the combined effect of all such benefic influences may achieve even better results through this field of profession. For example, the presence of benefic Saturn in the first house of this horoscope along with benefic Moon can provide more strength to benefic exalted Mercury in the eighth house and all other benefic planets mentioned in this example. Accordingly the native blessed by all these benefic influences may now become an astrologer of international fame and he may earn great amount of money and recognition as an astrologer. Such native may modify some outdated concepts of astrology and he may also introduce some new theories and concepts of astrology which may help many other astrologers understand the science of astrology in a better way.
Benefic exalted Mercury in the eighth house of a horoscope can also bless the native with success through some field of profession related to the line of finance and hence some natives under its impact may engage in one such line also. For example, if benefic exalted Mercury is placed in the eighth house of a horoscope in the sign of Virgo along with benefic Sun; and benefic Moon is placed in the second house of this horoscope in the sign of Pisces, the native may become a financial analyst. The native under the combined effect of all these benefic planets may engage in the job of a financial analyst in a well established company and he may earn good amount of money and recognition through such job. However if instead of being placed in the second house of this horoscope, benefic Moon is placed in the tenth house of this horoscope in the sign of Scorpio along with benefic Mars, the equation may change.
The native under the combined effect of such benefic exalted Mercury, Sun, Mars and Moon may become an officer in some revenue or taxation department of government and he may achieve very good amount of success and authority through this field of profession. It should be noted that though Moon is debilitated in the sign of Scorpio, the results delivered by such debilitated Moon in this case may not be substandard and it may deliver significant results. This is due to the fact that the presence of benefic Mars in the same house of this horoscope may cancel the debilitation status of Moon and these two benefic planets may form Neechbhang Rajyoga in the horoscope. According to its definition, if a benefic debilitated planet is joined by a benefic planet which is either the lord of its sign of debilitation or which is exalted in its sign of debilitation, the debilitation status of this planet may be cancelled and Neechbhang Rajyoga may be formed in the horoscope, which can bless the native with very good results in some spheres of his life, depending on the overall tone of his horoscope.
Hence in this case, benefic Mars present in the tenth house of this horoscope in its own sign of Scorpio may cancel the debilitation status of Moon; and together these two planets may form Neechbhang Rajyoga in the tenth house of this horoscope. The native blessed by this yoga may see very good results in the field of his profession since the tenth house of a horoscope deals with the profession of the native and this yoga is placed in the tenth house. Accordingly the native under the combined effect of such Neechbhang Rajyoga and a benefic combination of exalted Mercury and Sun may become a revenue or taxation officer and he may witness very good results through this field of profession. As more benefic planets add to this horoscope, the native under the combined effect of all such benefic planets may achieve even better results through this field of profession. For example, the presence of benefic Venus in the fourth house of this horoscope can bless the native with some very good achievements and with some very important postings as well as deputations during his career.
On the other hand, malefic exalted Mercury placed in the eighth house of a horoscope can trouble the native under its influence with problems related to marriage, profession, finances, health, lifespan, children and many other types of problems. Accordingly the natives under the effect of this malefic influence may come across some of these problems depending on the overall tone of their horoscopes. Such malefic exalted Mercury can cause many types of problems in the professional sphere of the native under its influence and if there are some other malefic planets in the horoscope of a native, which support this malefic influence, such problems may intensify. For example, if a malefic combination of exalted Mercury and Sun is placed in the eighth house of a horoscope in the sign of Virgo, the native may have difficulties establishing in profession. Such native may receive good amount of academic education but he may not find jobs suitable according to his education and hence he may have to remain jobless for a long period of time.
Frustrated by being jobless and not being able to find a suitable job, such native may have to engage in jobs which may be below his level of education and which may pay him less than he may deserve according to his education. At the same time, if a malefic combination of Mars and Saturn is placed in the sixth house of this horoscope in the sign of Cancer, the problem of this native may intensify. Accordingly the native may not only have to engage in low paying and low respect jobs, but he may also have to remain jobless for long periods of time. Such native may not even find low paying jobs with ease and he may have to remain jobless between job changes.
If a malefic combination of Jupiter and Moon is placed in the twelfth house of this horoscope in the sign of Capricorn when malefic exalted Mercury and all other planets are placed in the already mentioned houses of this horoscope, the situation may become even worse. The native under the combined effect of all these malefic planets may have to remain jobless almost throughout his life. Such native may only be able to find some temporary jobs, on and off, and he may not be able to find a permanent profession throughout his life, unless there is some strong benefic planet which promotes the professional aspect of this native.
