Aries
In Vedic Astrology, Aries is considered as the first sign among the twelve zodiac signs and this sign is ruled by Mars. All four parts or padas of Nakshatras Ashvini and Bharani are ruled by this sign and the first pada of Krittika Nakshatra is also ruled by this sign and as this sign rules the first pada of Ashwini Nakshatra, so it becomes very important to study in case of Gandmool dosh formed by the placement of the Moon in the first pada of Ashwini Nakshatra. Aries is a considered as a fiery sign in astrology and it generally represents a great deal of energy and fire element in it and perhaps that is why the Sun which is also considered as a source of energy, life and fire, gets exalted in Aries which means that out of all the twelve zodiac signs, the Sun is considered as the strongest in Aries as the fiery and energetic nature of the Sun is complemented by the similar nature of this sign as well as the lord of this sign which is Mars and which also represents energy and fire element. The placement of Sun in Aries in a horoscope renders some very unique qualities to the bearer of the horoscope and such natives are likely to be very confidant and full of energy and posses many other positive qualities depending upon the other important factors present in the horoscope. And whereas the Sun becomes exalted in Aries, Saturn which is considered as the planet which represents lethargy and is associated with slow motions and slow results becomes debilitated in Aries which means that out of all the twelve signs, Saturn is considered as the weakest in strength when it is placed in Aries. The natives with Saturn placed in Aries in their horoscope are likely to suffer from problems arising from the debilitation of Saturn which may vary from native to native depending upon the other important factors of their horoscopes. Apart from the Sun, most of the other planets except Saturn gain good strength in Aries and accordingly they are capable of showing strong positive or negative results depending upon their nature in a particular horoscope. The natives having Aries as their ascendant are likely to be strong and aggressive in many cases depending upon the other important factors of their horoscopes. This sign represents head and brain in the parts of the body and weakness of Aries or Mars which is the Lord of this sign, in a horoscope can cause many kinds of physical problems for the native which would generally

be related to the head and brain of the native. Such problems may include headaches, migraines, quick mood swings, getting irritated or angry very soon and some serious medical problems in the head and brain region. The placement of some good positive planets like the Sun, Mars and Jupiter in Aries in a horoscope can do very good things to the native. Such placements usually bless the native with very good position, respect and status in society and at the same time such placements can bless the native with qualities like being very energetic, intelligent, courageous and can make them very good leaders depending upon the other important aspects of the horoscope. On the other hand the placement of strong negative planets in Aries or the afflictions of strong negative planets to Aries sign in a horoscope can make the native suffer from reputation loss and have low status as well as many physical and mental problems.

Taurus
In Vedic Astrology, Taurus is considered as the second zodiac sign among the twelve zodiac signs and this sign is ruled by Venus which is considered as the planet that represents earthly luxuries and comforts. The last three padas of Krittika Nakshatra, all four padas of Rohini Nakshatra and the first two padas of Mrigasira Nakshatra are ruled by this sign called Taurus. The Moon which is a signifier of easy materialistic gains, pleasures and comforts, gets exalted when placed in Taurus which means that the out of all the twelve zodiac signs, moon is considered to be the strongest when placed in Taurus probably due to the reason that Taurus is an Earthy sign ruled by Venus which indicates that it supports the planets signifying earthly comforts and pleasures like the Moon and Venus. Apart from the Moon Venus is also considered very strong when placed in Taurus in a horoscope. Taurus represents the face and facial organs like Eyes, Nose and throat etc. in the parts of body. A strong Taurus sign and a strong Venus in a horoscope generally indicates beautiful facial features whereas weakness of Taurus or Venus in a horoscope can cause deformities in some of the facial organs or the face itself and can cause the native to have average or below average facial beauty and at the same time, weakness of Taurus can cause physical problems in throat region or the problems related to the facial organs and severe afflictions of negative planets to this sign in a horoscope can cause the native to suffer from facial scars, skin problems on face and facial surgeries,

among many other things. The placement of some good positive planets like the Moon and Venus in Taurus in a horoscope can bless the native with easy gains and materialistic pleasures and comforts depending upon the other important aspects of his horoscope. Such native are also likely to be gentle, caring and soft in their approach towards many spheres of life as well as towards most of the people depending upon the other aspects of their horoscopes. These qualities are also seen when Taurus becomes the rising sign or Ascendant in a horoscope. On the other hand the placement of some strong negative planets or the afflictions from some strong negative planets to Taurus in a horoscope can make the native suffer from lack of materialistic pleasures, comforts and luxuries and he may not see any easy gains or pleasures throughout his life depending upon the other important aspects of his horoscope. Such natives are also likely to suffer from physical problems in the face and throat region which can go to very serious limits if both Taurus and Venus are seriously afflicted by negative planets in a horoscope.

Gemini
In Vedic Astrology, Gemini is considered as the third zodiac sign among the twelve zodiac signs which are taken into consideration for calculations based on Vedic Astrology. The last two padas of Mrigashira Nakshatra, all four padas of Ardra Nakshatra and the first three padas of Punarvasu Nakshatra are ruled by this sign called Gemini ruled by the planet which governs the wisdom and the power of speech and is called Mercury. Gemini is an airy sign ruled by Mercury and the kind of impact or effect it can have on the planets placed in it and on the native having such placement of planets in his horoscope can be understood by analyzing the symbol of this sign called Gemini. The symbol of Gemini is a shown as a combination of a Man and a Woman which indicates that this sign represents the quality of adaptability and at the same time it represents the dual nature by virtue of a combination of Male and Female nature which are usually very different from each other, as the male nature is generally driven by logic whereas the female nature is generally driven by instincts coming from their heart. Therefore the natives having Gemini as their ascendants

are likely to be more adaptive and at the same time they can sometime get stuck between this dual personality complex which can confuse them with some important decisions of their lives. The placement of some planets like the Sun and the Moon in Gemini can also render this quality of adaptability and dual nature to these planets and accordingly the general as well as specific significances ruled by these planets in a horoscope will be affected. Gemini represents the respiratory system and the nervous system in the human body and it also represents the lower neck and shoulders among some other parts of the body. The natives with a strong Gemini sign well placed in their horoscope as well as a strong Mercury usually enjoy a strong respiratory system and a strong nervous system depending upon the other important aspects of the horoscope, whereas the weakness of Gemini or serious afflictions of negative planets to Gemini in a horoscope can make the native suffer from problems and diseases related to respiratory system or nervous system and the other parts of the body represented by this sign. Such problems may include difficulty in breathing commonly known as Asthma, problems related to nervous system which may lead to depressions and paralysis and many other problems of this kind depending upon the other important factors of the horoscope.

Cancer
In Vedic Astrology, Cancer is considered as the fourth sign among the twelve zodiac signs which are considered for making astrological calculations on the basis of Vedic Astrology. The last pada of Nakshatra Punarvasu, all four padas of Nakshatra Pushya and all four padas of Nakshatra Ashlesha are ruled by this zodiac sign called cancer. Cancer is a very important sign in a horoscope according to Vedic Astrology as it is involved in the formation of a couple of defects mentioned in Indian Astrology. The placement of the Moon in the fourth pada of Ashlesha Nakshatra forms a Gandmool Dosh in the horoscope and as the fourth pada of Ashlesha Nakshatra is ruled by Cancer sign, the study of this sign in a horoscope becomes important in Vedic Astrology. Apart from this, any serious afflictions to this sign by one or more than one negative planets in a horoscope form Matru Dosh which can pose many kinds of problems for the native depending upon the other important aspects of the horoscope. As Cancer is ruled by Moon, so any affliction to this sign makes the Moon afflicted and weak and thus a Matru Dosh is formed. Therefore the study of this sign in a horoscope becomes very important and it should be analyzed carefully in a horoscope.

Cancer is a watery sign and it is ruled by the Moon which is considered as the coolest of all the nine planets in Vedic Astrology and which is also considered as the fastest moving planet in Vedic Astrology. Therefore most of the planets placed in Cancer tend to show their positive or negative results in a less aggressive way compared to some other signs. Jupiter which is the planet that rules knowledge, spiritualism and prosperity, becomes exalted in this sign which means that out of all the twelve zodiac signs, Jupiter is considered strongest when placed in Cancer. A positive Jupiter well placed in Cancer can bless the native with great knowledge, spirituality and prosperity among many other things depending upon the other important aspects of the horoscope. And whereas Jupiter is exalted in Cancer, Mars is considered debilitated when placed in Cancer which means that out of all the twelve zodiac signs, Mars is considered as the weakest when placed in Cancer. This is probably due to the reason that Mars is the signifier of energy and fire and the cool and calm nature of Cancer sign and its Lord Moon does not suit Mars and so it becomes the weakest when placed in Cancer. And for this reason, the natives who have Mars placed in Cancer in their horoscope are likely to suffer from the bad effects produced due to the weakness of Mars by virtue of its placement in Cancer. These bad effects can be different for different people depending upon the other important aspects of their horoscopes. Cancer rules the Chest or Breast region and the organs in this region like lungs and heart etc. A strong Cancer sign and a strong and clean Moon in a horoscope blesses the native with good health and a very good working of the organs ruled by this sign whereas the weakness of this sign or serious afflictions to this sign by one or more negative planets in a horoscope can make the native suffer from ailments and diseases in the chest, breast, lungs, heart or other parts and organs ruled by Cancer. Serious afflictions to this sign can also make the native suffer from mental diseases and sleeping disorders as the Lord of this sign is directly rules the emotions of all the human beings. Therefore this sign should be studied carefully while analyzing a horoscope.

Leo
Leo is undoubtedly one of the most important signs among all the zodiac signs and it demands great attention while studying a horoscope. In Vedic Astrology, Leo is considered as the fifth sign among the twelve zodiac signs which are considered for making astrological calculations on the basis of

Vedic Astrology. Leo rules all four padas of the Nakshatra Magha and Poorvaphalguni and the first pada of the Nakshatra Uttraphalguni and as this sign rules the first pada of Nakshatra Magha, it becomes important to study as the placement of the Moon in the first pada of Magha Nakshatra leads to the formation of Gandmool dosh in a horoscope. Apart from the formation of Gandmool dosh, the study of this sign called Leo becomes very important as it is involved in the formation of one of the most important, feared and troublesome defects of Vedic Astrology called Pitra Dosh. As Leo is ruled by the Ruler of all the planets and the source of energy and life for all the living beings, the Sun itself, so any serious affliction to this sign by one or more negative planets in a horoscope leads to the formation of Pitra Dosh in that horoscope because the Sun itself gets afflicted and weak if Leo gets afflicted and weak by virtue of placement or aspect of one or more negative planets. And a Pitra Dosh if formed in a horoscope can bring great miseries and misfortunes to the native and can even cause the early death of the native depending upon the other important aspects of his horoscope. So the study of this sign in a horoscope becomes very important. Leo is a fiery sign ruled by the Sun and the planets like the Sun and Mars become strong when placed in this sign as the nature of this sign and the nature of its Lord suits them. The placement of positive Sun, Mars, Jupiter or Mercury in Leo sign in a horoscope can bless the native with all around happiness, success and a very good health and many more things depending upon the other aspects of his horoscope. Natives with Leo sign rising as ascendant at the time of their birth are usually energetic, confidant and intelligent and they are generally able to influence the people around them, depending upon the other aspect of their horoscopes. On the other hand the placement of one or more negative planets in this sign or the afflictions of one or more negative planets on this sign and particularly the afflictions caused by Rahu and Saturn can cause very serious concerns for the native and can make the native suffer from many kind of diseases, debts, misfortunes and many other problems. Leo represents upper stomach, spinal cord and spine, liver, gall bladder, pancreas and some other organs in this region and the natives with a strong Leo sign and a strong Sun in their horoscope usually enjoy good health whereas the weakness of Leo or afflictions to this sign by one or more negative planets in a horoscope can make the native suffer from ailments and diseases of spine, pancreas, heart, bones gall bladder and some other parts ruled by Leo. Afflictions to this sign can also make the native suffer from weak eyesight and problem of back pain among some other problems arising

out of a weak digestive system. The weakness of this sign in a horoscope also affects the will power of the native in a negative way as the Lord of this sign is the ruler of all kinds of life energy, immune system and will power. Therefore this sign demands great attention while studying a horoscope.

The last three padas of the Nakshatra Uttraphalguni, all four padas of the Nakshatra Hasta and the first two padas of the Nakshatra Chitra are ruled by this sign called Virgo. Virgo is an Earthy sign ruled by Mercury and Mercury itself gets exalted in this sign which means that Mercury is considered as the strongest when placed in this sign out of all the twelve zodiac signs whereas on the other hand Venus gets debilitated in this signs which means that Venus is considered as the weakest when placed in Virgo, out of all the twelve zodiac signs. The extra strength gained by Mercury and the extra weakness experienced by Venus when placed in this sign in a horoscope can make the native undergo some unique positive or negative effects and changes depending upon the other important aspects of his horoscope. The placement of some good positive planets in Virgo like, Mercury, Saturn and Rahu in a horoscope can bless the native with very good speech and communication skills and it can also bless him with good to great materialistic successes depending upon the other important aspects of his horoscope.

A clean and strong Virgo in a horoscope indicates good health of the native by virtue of proper and strong working of parts and

organs of body represented by this sign whereas weakness of this sign either by placement of strong negative planets in it or by aspect of one or more negative planets to this sign can cause ailments and diseases related to Kidneys, Intestines, Nervous system and other diseases or problems related to stomach region.

The last two padas of Chitra Nakshatra, all four padas of Swati Nakshatra and the first three padas of Vishakha Nakshatra are ruled by this sign called Libra.

A good positive Venus placed in Libra generally makes the native beautiful and attractive and the people from the opposite gender get attracted to such natives. A combination of positive Saturn and Venus in this sign in a horoscope can do wonders for the native and can bless

him with name, fame, luxuries and many more such things depending upon the other factors of his horoscope. On the other hand, weakness of Libra in a horoscope by virtue of placement of negative planets in it or by aspect of negative planets can cause serious concerns for the native. Libra represents the sexual organs, some part of the large intestine, urine bladder and some other organs in the same region in the human body.

Apart from these diseases, the sexual life, married life and the love life of the native can also get disturbed if this sign is afflicted by some specific negative planets in a horoscope.

Scorpio
This is considered as the most feared sign among all the zodiac signs in Vedic Astrology as well as in Western and other forms of Astrology. And this fear starts taking its roots right from the symbol of this sign which is a Scorpio and which is full of poison. In Vedic Astrology, Scorpio is considered as the eighth zodiac sign among the twelve zodiac signs which are taken into consideration for making astrological calculations based on Vedic Astrology. The fourth pada of the Nakshatra Vishakha and all four padas of the Nakshatras Anuradha and Jyeshtha are ruled by this sign called Scorpio. And as this sign rules the fourth pada of Jyeshtha Nakshatra, it becomes important to study in a horoscope as the placement of the Moon in the fourth pada of Jyeshtha Nakshatra leads to the formation of the defect called Gandmool Dosh. Scorpio is a watery sign and it is ruled by Mars. The Moon which is considered to be associated with care and tenderness, get debilitated in this sign which means that out of all the twelve zodiac signs, the Moon is considered as the weakest when placed in this sign. This sign can do mild to serious damages to the significances of the Moon when placed in it as the Moon also undergoes the defect named Gandmool Dosh when placed in the last parts of this sign. The weakness of the Moon combined with the Gandmool Dosh can seriously disturb the significances of the Moon which directly rules the emotions and peace of mind of the human beings. So the placement of the Moon in this sign in a horoscope can have mild to serious negative effects on the peace of mind of the native depending upon the other factors of his horoscope.

And the negativity of this sign is not limited to the Moon but it extends to many more planets and in fact most of the planets experience one or the other negative effect on their significances when placed in this sign. The planets like the Sun, Mercury, Jupiter and Venus, they all show one or more negative traits when they are placed in Scorpio in a horoscope and accordingly the native may suffer from mild to serious negative effects by virtue of placement of some specific planet or planets in this sign. Scorpio represents the excretory organs like Anus, Rectum and some other organs in the same region in human body. Strong afflictions to this sign from one or more than one negative planets in a horoscope by virtue of their placement or aspect can make the native suffer from diseases related to the organs ruled by this sign. Such native may suffer from Piles, Fissures and other diseases in the same region.

Sagittarius
In Vedic Astrology, Sagittarius is considered as the ninth zodiac sign among all the twelve zodiac signs which are taken into consideration for making astrological calculations based on Vedic Astrology. All four padas of the Nakshatra Moola and Poorvashada and the first pada of the Nakshatra Uttarashada is ruled by this sign called Sagittarius. As this sign rules the first pada of Moola Nakshatra, so it also contributes to the formation of Gandmool Dosh as the placement of the Moon in the first pada of Moola Nakshatra in a horoscope leads to the formation of Gandmool Dosh in that horoscope and as the Gandmool Dosh formed by placement of the Moon in Moola Nakshatra is considered to be the most prominent in Vedic Astrology compared to the formation of this defect by virtue of placement of the Moon in the other 5 Nakshatras named, Revati, Ashwini, Ashlesha, Magha and Jyeshtha, so this sign carries special significance when it comes to studying a horoscope. Sagittarius is considered as a fiery sign in Vedic Astrology and it is ruled by Jupiter. Sagittarius is a strong sign and it provides good strength to many planets when placed in this sign. The strengths of the Sun, Mars and Jupiter are particularly considered very good when they are placed in this sign and if one or more of the above mentioned planets are positively placed in this sign in a horoscope, they can bless the native with very good things like a very good reputation, finances, properties and social status which is many times passed on to the native by his Ancestors or in other words the native may inherit good fortunes or a some position of good to great status from his

Ancestors, depending upon the other important factors influencing his horoscope. The native may also enhance the reputation and status passed over to him by his Ancestors by doing very good deeds which can uplift the social and moral status of his entire family line if a couple of strong planets are placed in this sign in his horoscope. Apart from these things, a lot more can be predicted by studying the influence of this sign in a particular horoscope. On the other hand, placement of one or more strong negative planets in this sign in a horoscope can trouble the native a lot, particularly with the issues related to his parental family or Ancestors, like the native may have to work very hard for a big part of his life for the well being of his family and he may have to bear many responsibilities from his family side from time to time. The strong negative effect of the certain specific planets on this sign can also make the native engage in bad Karmas which can bring bad name to the entire family line. Such natives can ruin and destroy an entire fortune and good named earned by their Ancestors. Sagittarius Rules the hips, thighs, nerves and arteries and some other parts and organs in the body. A strongly placed Sagittarius sign in a horoscope generally blesses the native with good health related to nerves and arterial system whereas weakness of this sign in a horoscope or serious afflictions to this sign from one or more negative planets can make the native suffer from diseases related to the parts and organs of the body ruled by Sagittarius. Such diseases may include the problems related to the hips and thighs, the problems related to the nerves and arterial system of the body, Diabetes and some other diseases and problems related to the parts and organs of the body ruled by this sign.

Capricorn
In Vedic Astrology, Capricorn in considered as the tenth zodiac sign among the twelve zodiac signs which are taken into consideration for making astrological calculations on the basis of Vedic Astrology. The last three padas of the Nakshatra Uttarashada, all four padas of the Nakshatra Shravana and the first two padas of the Nakshatra Dhanistha are ruled by this sign called Capricorn. Capricorn is considered as an earthy sign in Vedic Astrology and it is ruled by Saturn. This sign renders certain specific qualities to many planets when they are placed in it and probably due to this reason Mars and Jupiter see their

highest and lowest strengths when placed in this sign. Mars gets debilitated when placed in this sign called Capricorn which means that out of all the twelve signs, Mars is considered as the strongest when placed in Capricorn whereas Jupiter on the other hand gets debilitated when placed in this sign which means that out of all the twelve signs, Jupiter is considered as the weakest when placed in this sign. This is probably due to the fact that the general nature of this sign and its lord Saturn is very much different from the general nature of Jupiter and therefore Jupiter does not feel comfortable when placed in this sign as this sign tries to impart certain qualities to Jupiter which are quite opposite to the characteristic qualities of Jupiter. So the natives with Jupiter placed in Capricorn in their horoscope are likely to suffer on front of the significances ruled by Jupiter, generally and specifically in their horoscopes. The placement of some strong positive planets like, Saturn, Mercury, Rahu, Mars and Venus in this sign can bless the native with very good materialistic results and can make the native a very good diplomat, communicator and manipulator and can bless the native with very good materialistic gains by virtue of these qualities and some other good qualities rendered by Capricorn to the planets placed in it. The placement of a combination of strong positive planets like Saturn, Mercury and Rahu in this sign in a horoscope can uplift the native to great achievements and social status by virtue of his communication skills, diplomatic nature and the ability to plan and execute things in a very good manner. On the other hand the placement of one or more negative planets in this sign can make the native suffer from various kinds of problems including health problems, diseases and misfortunes on various fronts of his life depending upon the planets afflicting this sign in a horoscope and certain other factors influencing the horoscope. Capricorn rules the knees and the parts of body in that region as well as bones and joints in the body. A strongly placed Capricorn in a horoscope will ensure good working of the parts of the body ruled by it whereas serious afflictions to Capricorn in a horoscope by virtue of placement of one or more negative planets in it or by afflictions of one or more negative planets to this sign can make the native suffer from disease like, joint pains, arthritis, problems and diseases related to bones of the body and some problems related to skin. Apart from these diseases, the weakness of this sign can bring many kinds of trouble for the native depending upon the other important aspects of his horoscope.

Aquarius
In Vedic Astrology, Aquarius is taken as the eleventh zodiac sign among the twelve zodiac signs which are taken into consideration for making astrological calculations based on Vedic Astrology. The last two padas of the Dhanishtha Nakshatra, all four padas of Shatabhisha Nakshatra and the first three padas of Poorvabhadrapada Nakshatra are ruled by this sign called Aquarius. Aquarius is considered as an airy sign in Vedic Astrology and it is ruled by Saturn and whereas the tenth zodiac sign Capricorn is also ruled by Saturn, there is a difference in the nature and influence of these two signs. For example, Capricorn is more likely to impart certain specific characteristics to the planets placed in it in a horoscope which are likely to help the native with attaining materialistic successes and achievements whereas Aquarius on the other hand imparts certain specific characteristics to some specific planets placed in it in a horoscope which are more likely to help the native with spiritual progress, meditation and other such paranormal and supernatural phenomenon, but at the same time Aquarius is capable of blessing the planets placed in it with materialistic advantages also though the native may still tend towards the spiritualistic aspect more than the materialistic aspect. Saturn placed in Aquarius gains great strength and a positive Saturn placed in Aquarius in a horoscope can bless the native with high positions in government sector like a Judge, high social status, very good analytical power which can help him make the right decisions and at the same time it can bless the native with a spiritualistic approach due to which the native might have a tendency to indulge in Meditation and other spiritual practices though he may not disclose it to the world and may like to keep it as a secret. In this way such a native can look like complete materialistic from the outside but he can actually be very spiritual from the inside depending upon the other important factors of the horoscope. Aquarius rules the calves, ankles and the parts of body in this region. A strongly placed Aquarius in a horoscope blesses the native with good strength of the body parts and organ ruled by this sign whereas the afflictions to this sign from one or more negative planet by virtue of their placement in this sign or by virtue of

their aspect to this sign can make the native suffer from problems and diseases in the parts of the body ruled by this sign. Afflictions to Aquarius from some specific negative planets in a horoscope can also make the native suffer from cancerous diseases which may prove fatal for the native depending upon the other important factors present in his horoscope.

Pisces
In Vedic Astrology, Pisces is considered as the twelfth and the last zodiac sign among all twelve zodiac signs which are taken into consideration for making astrological calculations on the basis of Vedic Astrology. The last pada of Pooravabhadrapada Nakshatra, all four padas of Uttarabhadrapada Nakshatra and all four padas of Revati Nakshatra are ruled by this sign called Pisces and as this sign rules the last pada of Revati Nakshatra, so it becomes important to study in a horoscope as the placement of the Moon in the last pada of Revati Nakshatra leads to the formation of Gandmool Dosh which can disturb general as well as specific significances of the Moon in a horoscope and the native may suffer accordingly. Pisces is considered as a watery sign in Vedic Astrology and it is ruled by Jupiter and though Sagittarius is also ruled by Jupiter, there is a great difference in the nature of these signs as well as the kind of qualities these two signs impart to the planets placed in them. Sagittarius is a well balanced and mixed sign ruled by Jupiter which more likely deals with the materialistic aspects of the world but at the same time it also takes the spiritualistic aspects into consideration whereas Pisces on the other hand primarily deals with the spiritualistic aspects and the benefit and well being of the other living beings. So the planets placed in Pisces are more likely to be affected by these qualities of kindness and spirituality and other such qualities. Venus gets exalted in this sign which means that out of all the twelve zodiac signs, Venus is considered as the strongest when placed in this sign and as Venus deals with love and love life, the placement of Venus in this sign renders some specific qualities to the native of the horoscope. And for this reason people having Venus placed in Pisces sign in their horoscopes are generally seen as more dedicated lovers and partners compared to the people with the placement of Venus in other signs, depending upon the other important factors in their horoscopes.

Contrary to Venus, Mercury gets debilitated when placed in Pisces which means that it becomes weakest by placement in this sign out of all the twelve zodiac signs. This is probably due to the almost opposite general natures of Mercury and Pisces as well as its Lord Jupiter. For example, Mercury on the one hand is a planet that primarily deals with the self benefit and materialistic pursuits and pleasures whereas Jupiter primarily deals with well being of others as well as spiritualism and at the same time Pisces also primarily deals with the same qualities which are primarily dealt with by Jupiter. So probably due to this reason, Mercury feels very uncomfortable when placed in this sign as this sign tries to influence Mercury to work for the benefit of the others and to work in the direction of spiritualism which is quite opposite to the general nature of Mercury and hence it becomes very weak in this sign meaning that it is not fully capable of protecting its general significances mentioned above due to the opposite influence of this sign called Pisces. Some strong positive planets like Jupiter, Venus and Ketu can bless the native with very good things in his life and the placement of a positive Jupiter or Ketu or a combination of both of them in this sign can bless the native with very good spiritual progress and human values. Such natives are likely to be spiritually advanced and they work for the benefit of all the living beings and are respected very much by the people and society around them by virtue of their constant efforts to work for the benefit of the society and all living beings. Saturn, Jupiter and Ketu placed in this sign can bless the native with very good spiritual progress and such natives can achieve great spiritual heights depending upon the other important factors in their horoscopes. On the other hand strong afflictions from one or more negative planets to this sign in a horoscope can make the native suffer on various fronts of his life. Pisces rules feet, toes and the other parts of the body in this region. A strongly placed Pisces in a horoscope generally means strong working of the body parts ruled by this sign whereas serious afflictions to this sign by virtue of placement of negative planets in it or by virtue of aspects from negative planets to it can make the native suffer from problems and diseases related to the parts of the body ruled by this sign.
