Then the person tends to love jokes. So does Mercury with Mars. Mars and Mercury may sit in a good planet's sign or in a sign of Saturn, seen by the Sun. Then he is skilled at pleasing kings and learned men. The Moon may sit in the 12th, 8th or 6th house and see Venus. Then he is easily amazed. If strong planets see Mars, Mercury and the Moon, he is quick and ready in speech.
Simple meaning: Mercury with Mars may give a joking nature. Strong planets seeing Mars, Mercury and the Moon give quick speech.

Venus with Mercury or Mars in the 7th, 10th or 4th may make a person unsteady in matters of love.

Saturn by Moon or Venus may bring a bad name. With the Sun in the 4th, it may harm private parts.

Venus in a retrograde planet's sign, or seen by the 1st lord, may make a person pleasing to women.
