Sun is placed in the sixth house in Virgo, Venus is placed in the eighth house in Scorpio, Mars is placed in the seventh house in Libra with retrograde Saturn, and benefic Moon is placed in the third house in Gemini.

If malefic Rahu is placed in the sixth house in Virgo with Sun, and Ketu is placed in the twelfth house in Pisces, the equation may become worse. Grahan Yoga is formed in the sixth house. In this case, the native may witness 2 or 3 failed marriages, and she may settle in her third or fourth marriage. She may have one or two children from her first marriage, and she may lose their custody to her husband, through divorce. Unless the finer factors and running times are very good, she may never reunite with her children from first marriage.
