How to Identify if a planet in the 7th House Is Weak or Strong

Check the Planet’s Position in the Chart

• A planet is robust if it is in its own sign e.g., Sun in Leo, Mercury in 6th house, Venus in Taurus, or an exalted sign such as Sun in Aries, Jupiter in Cancer, or Mercury in 6th house.
• A planet is weak in its debilitated sign, such as Jupiter in Capricorn, Venus in the 6th house, Sun in Libra, or Mars in Cancer within the 6th house.

Aspects and Conjunctions

• A planet is strong when it receives positive aspects from beneficent planets like Jupiter or Venus.
• A planet may become weaker due to the effects of malefic planets like Saturn, Rahu, or Ketu.

Shadbala (Sixfold Strength)

• Astrologers compute the Shadbala score to ascertain the strength of planets. A planet with a low score is weak and vice versa.
