The Moon may be in the 1st house. Saturn may be in the 10th house, strong in its own place. If Mercury sees the Moon from the 7th, the person will have good sense. Mercury may see Mars and the Moon in the 1st house with a full look. Then the person may lack good sense. The same holds if Mars troubles the Moon and the lord of the 1st house.
Simple meaning: Mercury seeing the Moon in the 1st may give good sense. Seeing Mars and the Moon there may dull it.

Mercury rising with a hurt Sun and Saturn may dull the mind. Bad planets in the 4th harm the heart.

Jupiter hurt in the 4th may bring heart disease. Mars in the 4th, Saturn in the 8th may bring sorrow.

Mars in the 1st may bring quarrels. A weak Mars in the 7th may give a strong, fighting nature.
