We hope that the readers have already gone through the separate articles on the results the Sun, the Moon and Mars produce in conjunction with the other planets, carried in previous issues.

In this article we propose to discuss the results Mercury and Jupiter produce in conjunction with other planets.
Mercury- Jupiter: A person born with this conjunction in his Natal Chart, would have an insatiable desire for knowledge. He would become a great scholar and a philosopher.  He would be highly respected for his objectiveness and impartiality and also being quick on the uptake.  This conjunction also signifies long journeys overseas. He would enjoy robust health. He would be conservative in his outlook. A person with this conjunction would make an ideal member of the judiciary.

If the conjunction is afflicted, the native would suffer loss of wealth and would face severe disappointments in life. 
Mercury –Venus:  Native would have a sharp intellect and a taste for finer things in life.  He would possess sterling qualities.  A pleasing conversationalist, the native would be well versed in Music, Poetry, and literature.  
If this conjunction occurs in a quadrant, the subject would be an orator and a lawyer.  If the conjunction is afflicted, the subject would not have a smooth relationship with the fair sex.  

Mercury – Saturn: The blend of Mercury’s changeability and inconsistency and Saturn’s steadfastness and firmness would produce favourable results. Natives are clever mathematicians and engineers as well as those working in an orderly manner.  They are endowed with patience and mindfulness.  They are truthful and highly principled and are fit to hold any responsible position.  

If this conjunction is afflicted, the native would become a cheat and a fraudster.
Mercury – Rahu:  Mercury loses all his good qualities when in conjunction with Rahu.  Native would be like a small child coming under the evil influence of an undisciplined person addicted to vices like drug abuse, gambling, and alcohol. 

Mercury – Ketu: Native would take a keen interest in studies. But he would suffer from skin diseases.    
Jupiter – Venus:  This is a very favourable combination. The native would become a wealthy person owning houses and lands and other property.  He would be a wealthy person by the time he reaches his middle age.  He would marry a woman with noble qualities.  Children would be fortunate.  He would enjoy all comforts in life.  He would cause no harm to anyone. 

If the conjunction is afflicted, the native would be a spendthrift.  Marriage would not be a success.
Jupiter – Saturn:  This is the most powerful and favourable of all two-planet conjunctions. Native would march towards progress and prosperity from the youth.  The wealth would come in a flood, without any effort on the part of the native.  He would live in a house built by others.  If educated, he would attain a high position in government or in the corporate sector.   He would win the respect and the affection of his peers, superiors, and subordinates. He would set apart a share of his wealth for his children.  His fortune and generosity would increase by leaps and bounds if the conjunction receives the aspect of the Sun or the Moon. 

Jupiter – Rahu:  This conjunction produces favourable results. If the conjunction is afflicted, no good result would come from this combination.

Jupiter – Ketu:  This is a Gnanayoga. Native would acquire a good education.  If the conjunction occurs in the 5th, 10th, or the 11th House native would have a comfortable residence, vehicles and lands and other property.
