Important:This page does not automatically declare any defect in the horoscope. For the right decision, the exact position of the planets, Lagna, Bhavesh, Drishti, Varga Kundli and Dasha are necessary.
1What is this defect and how is it formed?

Mercury with low, set, sinful influence or weak second/fifth/tenth relationship can show challenges in communication and decisions. The usual astronomical position is Mercury near the Sun; Incompleteness is not a fault alone.

The intensity of the defect is not determined by the zodiac sign or house alone. It is important to check the degree of the planet, Nakshatra, Shadbal/Digbal, distance of the conjunction, auspicious and malefic vision and the position of the respective Bhavesh.

2Potential impact in life

Distracted attention, miscommunication, documentation error, commercial inattention or irregularities in the study are considered possible.

The results are considered to be more pronounced in the same area with which the respective house is associated. Nature and health in the first house, education and children in the fifth house, relationships in the seventh, career in the tenth and expenditure, sleep or foreign topics in the twelfth can be prominent.

3When can a defect be weakened or cancelled?

Neechbhang, auspicious Jupiter/Venus relationship, strong Mercury in the zodiac sign and Mercury in the Upachaya house increase the capacity.

While looking at Yogabhang, importance is given to exalted, own house, friendly sign, square position, center-triangle relationship, aspect of auspicious planets and strong ascendant. Do not declare a breach merely from a list on the Internet.

4How to choose remedy as per horoscope?

Ascendant and first house:Grah yadi vyaktitva yaa svaasthya se seedhe juda ho to pahale dinacharya, sanyama aur surakshita mantra ko praathamikata den.

Fifth house:Add tutoring services, child support and mentor guidance to measures related to education, children and decisions.Seventh house:Communication, boundaries and marital counseling with Pooja are essential.Tenth house:Karma discipline, skill and ethical professional behavior become the main measures.

Position of the planet:The strategy to strengthen a weak executive auspicious planet and to pacify a painful executive inauspicious planet is different. Do not read Asta, Vakri, Neecha or exalted position separately from Dasha and Bhav Swamitra. In active Mahadasha-Antardasha related remedies can be given priority.

5Stepwise method of analysis

First Step:Check the accuracy of birth time and place, because Lagna, Bhava Chalit and Navamsha can change with a difference of a few minutes.Second step:Write the sign, degree, constellation, house and house-ownership of the planet creating the defect.third step:See actual partial distance and full/special view of the conjunction; Just being in the same sign does not equate to a close conjunction.

Fourth step:Confirm whether the same sign is repeating from the respective house lord, natural factor and appropriate square horoscope. D9 is considered useful for marriage, D7 for children and D10 for career.Fifth Step:See Mahadasha, Antardasha and current transit. One who is not active in Yoga Dasha may have less priority. In the end, choose a gentle solution by combining Yogabhang and the actual situation of the person.

12Lifestyle and practical solutions

Planetary remedies are considered meaningful only when the behavior associated with them also improves. Give priority to responsibility and integrity in Sun, sleep and emotional balance in Moon, anger control in Mars, clear communication in Mercury, study and morality in Jupiter, respect for relationships in Venus, punctuality in Saturn and distance from intoxication and confusion in Rahu-Ketu.

Small but regular practice can be more useful than heavy and temporary rituals. Consider one day a week service, written account of expenses and debts, communication with family, health check-up and professional consultation as per need as practical part of the solution.
