Article 228

In horoscopes with Taurus ascendant, Venus rules the first house, along with the sixth house. Hence the native may witness good results related to health and lifespan, when such Venus is influenced by benefic planets and/or an overall benefic horoscope. Taking an example, suppose debilitated Venus is placed in the fifth house of a horoscope in Virgo with benefic exalted Mercury. Benefic Mercury may transfer a lot of positive energy to Venus and these two planets may form Neechbhang Rajyoga in the fifth house. Suppose benefic Sun is placed in the fourth house in Leo, benefic exalted Rahu is placed in the first house in Taurus, exalted Ketu is placed in the seventh house in Scorpio, Jupiter is placed in the sixth house in Libra and benefic Saturn is placed in the third house in Cancer. In this case, the native may enjoy good health and he may live beyond the age of 70 or 75, depending on the overall horoscope and running times.

If benefic exalted Moon is placed in the first house in Taurus with Rahu, and Mars is placed in the seventh house in Scorpio with Ketu, the equation may become better. In this case, the native may live beyond the age of 80 or 90, and he may lead a healthy life. If the finer factors and running times are supportive in a specific way, the native may live beyond the age of 100. The native may also witness good or very good results from his profession. He may be a doctor, scientist, engineer, researcher, software developer or some other likewise professional and he may come across success, money and recognition through his profession. The native may witness problems in his first marriage, and it may fail. He may settle in his second marriage and it may last till the end.

 

The placement of debilitated Venus in the sixth house is a difficult one. Venus is weak due to debilitation and the sixth house features a hostile environment. Apart from that, Mercury is generally malefic in horoscopes with Aries ascendant. It means that such debilitated Venus can’t be rescued by Mercury through Neechbhang Rajyoga in this case, since Mercury can do so, only if it is duly benefic. Hence such debilitated Venus needs support from an overall positive horoscope as otherwise, it may fail to produce significant positive results, despite being benefic. The concept of various planets exhibiting tendencies to be benefic or malefic on the basis of the houses they rule in a horoscope has been explained in the chapter ‘Gemstones for House Lords’ of the book ‘Gemstones: Magic or Science? (Revised Edition)’.

If Jupiter is placed in the first house in Aries with Rahu, and benefic Moon is placed in the tenth house in Capricorn with Mars, the equation may become better. In this case, the native may achieve success in competitive exams and he may get selected for the highest possible direct rank in police services. The native may come across very good amount of success, recognition and authority as a police officer and he may accomplish a lot during his career. He may do very good work in the field of crimes against women and violent type of crimes. The native may serve on some very important posts and he may receive many formal medals/awards for doing his duty well. If the finer factors and running times are supportive, the native may serve as the chief of police, before retirement.

 

Taking an example, suppose debilitated Venus is placed in the seventh house of a horoscope in Virgo with benefic exalted Mercury. Sun is placed in the sixth house in Leo, Jupiter is placed in the tenth house in Sagittarius, and Saturn is placed in the eleventh house in Capricorn with benefic exalted Mars. In this case, the native may become a foreign services officer or an administrative officer, depending on his overall horoscope and running times. The native may get selected for a high rank in one of these services and he may enjoy good amount of success, recognition and authority as an officer.

If benefic Moon is placed in the seventh house in Virgo with Venus and Mercury, benefic Rahu is placed in the eighth house in Libra and Ketu is placed in the second house in Aries, the equation may become better. In this case, the native may become an administrative officer. He may achieve success in competitive exams and he may get selected for the highest possible direct rank in administrative services. The native may serve on several important posts during his career and he may enjoy very good amount of success, recognition and authority as an administrative officer. He may engage in several projects of public welfare, his public dealing hours may be more than usual and he may earn a lot of respect among public. If the finer factors and running times are supportive, the native may serve as the head of his department for 2-3 years, before retirement. After retirement, the native may join politics, he may achieve success and he may become a minister in the government.

 

The placement of debilitated Venus in the eighth house is a difficult one. Venus is weak due to debilitation and the eighth house features a hostile environment. Apart from that, Mercury is generally partly malefic in horoscopes with Aries ascendant. It means that such debilitated Venus can’t be rescued by Mercury through Neechbhang Rajyoga in this case, since Mercury can do so, only if it is duly benefic. Hence such debilitated Venus needs support from an overall positive horoscope as otherwise, it may fail to produce significant positive results, despite being benefic. The concept of various planets exhibiting tendencies to be benefic or malefic on the basis of the houses they rule in a horoscope has been explained in the chapter ‘Gemstones for House Lords’ of the book ‘Gemstones: Magic or Science? (Revised Edition)’.

If benefic Sun is placed in the seventh house in Leo with Mercury, benefic Rahu is placed in the tenth house in Scorpio with Jupiter, and Ketu is placed in the fourth house in Taurus with Saturn, the equation may become better. In this case, the native may possess very good knowledge of astrology and he may come across a lot of success, money and recognition as an astrologer. The native may write several articles as well as books on various topics of astrology and he may achieve fame through them. He may witness good results after the age of 35, better results after 40 and even better results after 50. If the finer factors and running times are favourable, the native may become one of the most famous astrologers of his country, by the age of 55.

 

Taking an example, suppose benefic debilitated Venus is placed in the ninth house of a horoscope in Virgo with exalted Mercury. Sun is placed in the eighth house in Leo, benefic exalted Saturn forms Shasha Yoga in the tenth house in Libra, benefic Mars is placed in the sixth house in Gemini and Jupiter is placed in the eleventh house in Scorpio. In this case, the native may become a politician.

The native may win more than one public election and he may become a member of legislative assembly of a state or a member of parliament of his country, depending on his overall horoscope and running times.

He may win several public elections and he may become a minister in the national government or the chief minister of a state, more than once in his life.
