throne as a result of falling out with his strongest advisor and supporter;
Mercury is the 2
nd
lord of friends, and rules the nakshatra of the Moon who
is the Amatyakaraka, the producer of the minister. One of the primary
reasons for Edward loosing this supporter was his marriage to a commoner,
which upset much of the nobility. Mercury also rules the navamsa of Venus,
so the wife factors into the Daridra Yoga. Notice the 2/12 position of the
Dasa/Antardasa lords Venus (who is also debilitated in the navamsa) and
Mercury, which always brings an element of loss or disappointment.
Considering the Subha/Asubha influences to Mercury is very revealing.
Mercury has 88 virupas of Asubha influences, very poor. Mercury is so ill
disposed, not on account of any malefic conjunctions or
aspects (which it has none of), but on account of being
in a malefics rasi and navamsa and being in an
inauspicious nakshatra, which means that Mercury fails
on account of itself, not on account of any indications
that would be indicated were there any malefics
influencing. Therefore, Mercury suffered great stress on
account of its own indications, his friends and ministers,
as well as the things Mercury rules (namely his wife on
account of ruling Venus navamsa), causing him to loose
his throne.

Jupiter is stronger than the 9

lord
Mars, both by being with two other
planets as well as by having a greater
Shadbala score. The 11
th
lord, Mercury,
is combust, and weak by being placed
in the 12
th
, though its Shadbala score is
sufficient. Ford was the largest seller
and producer of automobiles until the
event of his Mercury dasa in 1930, at
which point his competition got the best of him due to his refusal to offer
new models every year, which had become a standard in the automobile
industry in the 20s. In Mercury/Mars and Mercury/Rahu he had problems
with the labor board and was found guilty of repeated violations of the
National Labor Relations Act. Mars is the 9

lord, one of the Daridra Yoga
