Special Aspects of Outer Planets...6

Well now you will feel why I am writing this post when the special aspects have all been covered. There are some points that we need to remember when we are interpreting any chart with respect to special aspects. 

Most of the time when two planets are present in 7th to each other or they are together they will influence each other mutually. It will be good if they are good friends! But what is the case when there is planet with special aspect involved? Oh yes, as you can guess, they will definitely influence and be influenced by planets present in house 7 and house 1, but what about house 5 and 9 in case of Jupiter? House 4 and 8 in case of Mars and house 3 and 10 in case of Saturn? Following holds good in those cases:

1. The planet which is under aspect cannot see them (as in case of 1 and 7), and hence cannot influence back, obviously if someone is pushing you and you cannot see that person, you will get pushed but you might not be able to push back, right? Example: 

In this case Mercury is being influenced by all 3 planets, Jupiter - 9th aspect, Mars - 8th aspect and Saturn - 3rd aspect. But Mercury will not be able to influence them back. In such a case, the aspect and influence is very strong on the planet under aspect. Hence they will not only influence with respect to House 1 and House 3 but also for Houses 4 and 7 (ruled by Jupiter here), houses 3 and 8 (ruled by Mars) and houses 5 and 6 (Saturn).

Special Aspects of Outer Planets...1

I thought I will put forth some theory that I had read earlier. The outer planets namely Mars, Jupiter and Saturn lay special aspects. But before moving further I would like to state what does aspect mean? I have mentioned this term before too. Aspect means affect in the current context. Whenever a planet aspects another planet, it actually has the right to influence that planet. All the planets affect and influence the planets in the first house (where the planet is situated) and the seventh house. You have to count anti-clockwise (in the North Indian style of horoscopes) from the first house where the planet is situated and then count till 7.  For example in the below pic, Sun is located in house 1 (Aries ascendant, hence exalted), so it will influence(aspect) any planets present in Aries or Libra (7th house). It will also influence activities connected with that house (houses 1 and 7, I have written about them earlier). 

During the Sun major/minor period, the native will witness the influence of Sun on the activities of these houses too. Also, when Sun will transit through these houses, the native will witness the activities with respect to these houses.
