Debilitated Mercury in Eleventh House
When debilitated Mercury is placed in the eleventh house in a horoscope, Taurus rises in the ascendant. Debilitated Mercury is benefic in the eleventh house in most cases though it may turn malefic in some cases. This may happen when Mercury is afflicted by malefic planets, such as through conjunction and/or aspects. As the number of malefic planets and the strengths of such planets increase, Mercury may become more malefic.
Since Mercury is weak due to debilitation, it may become easy for malefic planets to add negativity to Mercury. If debilitated Mercury is afflicted by one or more than one malefic planet in the eleventh house, it may turn significantly or highly malefic. Apart from that, the overall theme of horoscope having such debilitated Mercury can also turn it malefic in some cases, when such theme is malefic. The concept of benefic planets turning malefic due to influences of malefic planets has been explained in Manglik Dosh section of the book ‘Match Making and Manglik Dosh (Revised Edition)’.
Let’s look at some results which may be given by debilitated Mercury in the eleventh house when it is benefic. Such benefic debilitated Mercury can bless the native with good results related to profession, fame, finances, reputation, authority, love life, children, family, speech, creativity, spiritual growth, friends and several other good results, depending on his overall horoscope and running times.
Such debilitated Mercury can render creative abilities to the native. Hence the native may achieve success as an actor, singer, dancer, musician, writer, producer, director, painter, sculptor, sportsman, fashion designer, interior designer, architect, software developer, video game developer, web developer or some other type of creative professional, depending on his overall horoscope and running times.
Taking an example, suppose benefic debilitated Mercury is placed in the eleventh house of a horoscope in Pisces with exalted Venus. Benefic exalted Sun is placed in the twelfth house in Aries with Ketu, benefic Rahu is placed in the sixth house in Libra, benefic Saturn is placed in the third house in Cancer and Mars is placed in the tenth house in Aquarius. In this case, the native may become an actor. He may possess good acting abilities and he may come across money, success, fame and recognition as an actor. The native may start his career from television, any time after the age of 20. He may work in television programs till the age of 25, 28 or 30 and he may then start working in movies. The native may perform well in the genres of action, romance, drama and comedy.
If Jupiter is placed in the sixth house in Libra with Rahu, and benefic Moon is placed in the fifth house in Virgo, the equation may become better. In this case, the native may possess wonderful acting talent and he may come across very good amount of success, fame, recognition and money as an actor. The native may start his career early, he may work in television programs for a year or two and he may then start working in mainstream movies in lead roles. He may witness early success in movies and he may never look back. The native may achieve more and more as an actor, with passing age. He may have a large number of fans and he may become one of the most popular actors of his time. If the finer factors and running times are supportive, the native may earn billions through movies and advertisements. The native may get married to a fellow actor, but his first marriage may fail. He may get married again, to a creative professional and his second marriage may last.
Such debilitated Mercury can help the native achieve success as a teacher, consultant, astrologer, spiritual guru, religious guru, healer, engineer, scientist, researcher, explorer, analyst, discoverer, revenue officer, administrative officer, health officer, education officer, foreign services officer, information and broadcast officer, politician, professional dealing in hospitality industry, travel industry, airline, movie, music, radio, media, entertainment, cosmetic, marketing, advertisement, telecom industry or some other type of professional, depending on his overall horoscope and running times.

On the other hand, malefic debilitated Mercury in the eleventh house of horoscope can trouble the native with problems related to profession, finances, reputation, family, love life, children, friends and several other problems, depending on his overall horoscope and running times.
Such debilitated Mercury can trouble the native with various types of problems related to children, especially when it is influenced by malefic planets. Such problems may aggravate if the native is female. She may witness delay, disturbances, medical complications, miscarriages, birth of abnormal children and/or other problems related to children.
Taking an example for a female native, suppose debilitated Mercury is placed in the eleventh house of a horoscope in Pisces with malefic Mars. Benefic exalted Sun is placed in the twelfth house in Aries with Venus, Moon is placed in the eighth house in Sagittarius, Jupiter is placed in the second house in Gemini and benefic Saturn is placed in the third house in Cancer.

Hence she may not deliver an alive child before the age of 35 or 40, depending on her overall horoscope and running times. She may witness one or two miscarriages or failed pregnancy attempts.
If malefic exalted Ketu is placed in the eleventh house in Pisces with Mercury and Mars, and exalted Rahu is placed in the fifth house in Virgo, the equation may become worse. In this case, the native may not be able to conceive naturally, due to serious medical complications. She may conceive through IVF after the age of 35 or 40, and she may deliver an alive child, after 2 or 3 failed attempts. If the finer factor and running times are unsupportive, the native may not be able to give birth to an alive child, throughout her life, even with IVF.
Apart from these, malefic debilitated Mercury in the eleventh house of horoscope can trouble the native with several other problems, depending on his/her overall horoscope and running times.
