Hi Ernst,
Does the Friendly dignity of a planet with bad Lajjitaadi Avasthas help to manifest that planet anyways?
For example, say, one has a Mercury that seemingly has no help because it's thirsty, agitated by the Moon, but with neutral aspects from Jupiter and Mars—yet it's sitting in a Friend sign.
Will the planet's good dignity help mitigate an otherwise bad Mercury or are the Lajjitaadi Avasthas the more important factors to consider here?
Hello Kam,
Can you be more specific with signs? Perhaps my brain is tired, but I'm trying to determine if I've forgotten some of the basics - LOL!
Thirsty is only in a water sign (?) And I don't think Jupiter/Mars or Moon are friends sign. *(Maybe temp friends?) I asked a similar question recently about a Moon/Saturn conjunction in Scorpio, only to learn that Saturn conjunct Moon is starved and NOT thirsty.
TIA

@ltmoon Sure! Sorry, I was trying to be concise but it may have just come across as vague lol
Mercury is in Scorpio, thus the thirst and it's opposing an exalted Moon in Taurus, thus the Agitation by the Moon. There is also an aspect from Jupiter (53 Virupas) and from Mars (5 Virupas). To my understanding from Ernst' courses, Mercury is only delighted by Jupiter if it's in a conjunction with it because Jupiter is Neutral to Mercury. And then of course, Mars is Neutral to Mercury as well. So I interpreted this to mean that the aspects from Jupiter and Mars are of no help to Mercury.
Hopefully that makes more sense. Feel free to let me know if there's something I've missed or if I'm looking at it wrong 🙂
