Mercury and Sun in 7th House

October 10, 2006

Dear all,

Mercury in the 7th House from Lagna is often touted as a beneficial.

Saravali says it makes the native a learned man and beautiful and

obtains him a beautful and wealthy wife.

However, Mridula choudhury even as describing Mercury in such a

position as extremely being beneficial to the chart in matters of

marriage, says such Mercury is often responsble for two marriages.

This is so since Mercury owns dual signs as well being a jumpy

planet.mercury is famous for the duplicity and dilemma.

In other words, Mercury is not so very beneficial as it meets the first eye.

On the other hand, Sun in 7th is seen as choosy and divisive and said

to be leading to Divorce. That is , there is almost an unanimous view

that the Sun in 7th is not a very conducive position for marriage,

even as some authors do not like to accept him as Malefic but

condescending him the status of Cruel planet.

But, Sun is a very disciplined planet and has the capability of

influencing the entire chart into its own way.Thus, it denies the

native the chance of remarriage and often, gives only one marrige,

making the same somewhat dry and monotonous if not unhappy.

In other words, sun too is not what it should be, as it meets the first eye.

In view of such background, I am looking into the charts where the sun

or mercury or both, along with or without other planets , are posited

in the 7th House.

Hence, I request all to send me such charts, whether those of

celebrities or their friends etc, with a small note commeting on their

family life.

Hope I will recieve good replies from all of you,

best regards,

Hi Dear Kishore,

Thanks for your explanation. This is an interesting statement: "Maraka

sthana is an important aberration in astrology," and this along with your

example given. I have paid more attention to maraka sthana via health issues

and it's valuable to hear your thoughts on this aspect of it. Along with

what you've said, it's also interesting that Sun is depositor of Mars in his

chart and that Mars is vargottam there. Also in Rasi Sun's exaltation is his

10H, and owns his 10H in Navamsa.

What does 'Bhavartha ratnakara' mean?

I haven't studied Narayana Dasas enough. It is interesting though to note

that the only enemy to his lagnesh Moon is the 6th and 9th lord Jupiter

closely conjoined with Moon in the house of public opinions ;-) And I'm not

sure what he rode was a wave of popularity! ;-). Also fascinating to see

that 9H is Pisces, and the Narayan dasa was Pisces - Scorpio.

I like your thoughts here that to over ride difficulties, he needs to have a

connection with Yoga karaka Mars. This is valuable/educational for me to see

this use of Yoga karaka and in applying this to other charts.

Thanks for your help and thoughts about this.

Kindest regards,

Patrice

Hi patrice,

Thanks for the compliments. I have noted your observation.

Maraka sthana is an important aberration in astrology.

The other day I was talking with one of the members over phone when

he has questioned me about George Bush.

George Bush is having Sun in his Maraka sthana(12th)Yet , he had

rided a wave of popularity to win the difficult elections in 2004.

Most of the dasas such as vimsottari or 2/12dasa do not indicate any

good for him at that time. He was quite perplexed by the chart.

While I have not studied the chart,a lonely Sun in 12th sthana

indicates good power and authority thanks to Bhavartha ratnakara.

Moreover, for such things you need to look at Narayana dasa rather

than Vimsottari. Hence, I asked him to look at N'dasa and asked him

whether it is connected with Mars.

To our surprise,the dasa that was goingon was indeed scorpion(I think

pisces-scorpio)This is so, because George Bush is a cancerian and to

ride over difficulties, he need to have a connection with Yoga karaka

who is Mars. Hence, the reading.

Hope this helps in understanding the Maraka sthanas.
