Hi,
If Rahu joins the Sun and Mercury in one house, Mercury is, per Avashta explanation, shamed (by the Sun plus Rahu?). In the Drishti table I see 60 points in red next to 60 points in green for Mercury coming from the Sun. But in the course I learned that twice the number 60 in red next to each other means shame. Is this example still a shamed planet even if the table does not show twice the red "60" ?
Thank you!
Tamara
My understanding the general rule for shame is a planet with a malefic and Rahu or Ketu in any houses except for the 5th. For the 5th you don't need a node for it to be shamed if it is with a malefic planet. Folks, correct me if I am wrong here....What house is this and is your Mercury retrograde?

@tuyetv As I understood, A Graha that is joined with Sun, Mars or Saturn in the 5th OR a Graha joined with Sun, Mars or Saturn AND Rahu or Ketu in any other house- hope I am right!
I have Sun, Mercury and Rahu in the 10th in Scorpio. So my Mercury is shamed. This happens quite often as I understood. Because Sun is oftentimes conjunct Mercury.
@tamarap Yes, that is my understand as well. The reason i asked about retrograde is if the planet let's say Mercury is with the Sun and a node (Ketu or Rahu), but if Mercury is retrograde, then my understanding Mercury is not shamed...

@tuyetv Oh I didn´t hear about the Retrograde, maybe anyone here could confirm that...
@tamarap You know that is interesting as I would like Ernst to confirm this too. I have Mars Mercury Sun and Ketu. Mercury is closer to the Sun but retrograde. So Mercury is not combust. Mars is combust and shamed....

@tuyetv retrograde planets follow the same rules as other planets in lajjitadi avasthas. So a retro mercury is still going to shamed if it's with a node and a cruel planet. Maybe you're thinking about combustion? In ernst's system retro mercury and venus are never combust.
@brightsun I thought about it afterward, Yes i was getting mix up about combustion as retrograde planet does not combust. Thank you for straighten me out....
