Mercury (when in strength) can counteract the evil caused by Rahu. Saturn (in a similar position) can counteract the evil influences of the former two combined. Mars (when in a position of advantage) can remove the evil caused by the three foregoing planets put together. Venus has power to nullify the evil caused by these four. Jupiter can destroy the evil worked by the previous five. The Moon can obviate the malefic influence of the six preceding. The Sun can remove the evil effects of the foregoing seven. This he does more effectually when he is in his northward course.
