Random Thoughts About Debilitated Planets in Vedic Astrology (Pt. 2)
So to continue my series, I'll reiterate the possible good sides of your debilitated planets (in case you have them). I would probably cover the bad sides of exalted placements next after I go through all the planets.
Again, 4th house is comfort and "debilitation" is often taken under the context that it's a planet's uncomfortable condition. Debilitation is also seen as a loss of dignity and strength, losses are part of the 12th house's domain. And since debilitation is outside or away of the planet's comfort, this would also fit the significance of foreign lands of the 12th house. So let's begin!
Debilitated Mercury (in Pisces)
In my opinion, this is the most undebilitated among the debilitated placements. I would say it gives off the same vibe as Vipreet Raj Yoga. Some may argue that Mercury is a highly logical planet, a businessman, a socialite, and being in Pisces makes it boundless and unrealistic. I can agree to that, Mercury in Pisces is almost always a fever dream, but this can also manifest as some sort of genius. Remember, Pisces is otherworldy. It is a highly transcendental sign. Since it's water and dual, it can morph its transcendence in any context. A Mercury in Pisces can make one a wildcard, where in the world of business, you could be as competent as a Libra Mercury. In the world of technology, you could be as groundbreaking as an Aquarius Mercury. Lastly, this can make one an artistic/creative powerhouse.
It can also be taken as venturing on business pursuits, pursuing intellectual growth, better motivation towards multilingualism, and heightened activity as one steps into foreign lands.
Debilitated Venus (in Virgo)
One thing about this, is it's actually a pretty sweet placement for Venus. Virgo is details, yeah, nitpicky yeah. But on the good side, this is the pinnacle of genuine constructive criticism out of love. Also if you are the type to be attracted to the smarts, then this can reassure you with an intellectual partnership. Virgo is also a sign associated with healing, care, service. While yes, Venus in Vedic astrology is not the same in Western in a way that Venus is self indulgent and materialistic, if you think about it, Virgo is almost always in tangent with comforts. How can you perform your best if you aren't at your best health? How can you enjoy your stay in a hotel that is not clean? Venus likes to enjoy, and Virgo has any means to make this Venus self sufficient to make its enjoyment and own self indulgences. Virgo enables Venus in general. There cannot be tender love without meticulous and routinely approach to care and service.
This can also be seen as finding love, having boosted creativity, luxury, more enjoyment in foreign lands.
That's it for now, I'll follow up with our last two planets Jupiter and Saturn. I hope you enjoyed!
