As a jataka (birth chart reading) text says: A man may be born with Saturn, the Sun and Mercury together in one house. He then acts in an unmanly way. He is disliked, beaten by all and left by his kin.

Also: Mercury may be in Leo, the Sun's sign, and Mars may look at him. Then he makes a man low, with a sad end. His body draws looks, but he is not handsome. He has a servant's nature, is unloved and is impotent.
