From Saturn to Mars: How to tell if a planet is weak without looking at the birth chart

Astrology is vast and not everyone can get into the nitty-gritty of the subject. While all the planets in the birth chart are associated with some individual traits and personalities, you can still tell if a planet is weak without even looking at their birth chart. But this actually requires years of practice and knowledge of planets and their traits. Ace astrologers, who have studied and experienced several charts, can tell things practically. Here, let’s have a look at some clear and observable signs for each planet that shows weakness.Saturn (delays, isolation, sadness)Saturn is all about discipline, long-term commitments and ageing. There are some signs that show a person’s Saturn might be weak are: Delays, chronic sadness, work, work and more work without any recognition or reward, health issues (mostly bones, teeth, joints), unemployment, loneliness, social exclusion and habitual depression are among some of the common signs of a weak Saturn.

Mars (accidents, anger)Mars is the planet of energy, courage, and physicality. A weak Mars often shows: Minor but frequent injuries, aggression, anger, low energy, poor impulse control, or fights, or conflicts and poor leadership, among others.Sun (low confidence, ego, health issues)

The Sun is your ego and confidence. You’ll know a person’s Sun is weak because they might be having: low self-esteem, no recognition at work, issues with bosses or father, or fatherly figures, fatigue, and heart issues, spine or eyesight. Moon (emotional instability, depression, sleep issues)

Moon is the ruler of emotions, mind and mother. It also affects our daily moods. A weak Moon shows: poor sleep, mood swings, nightmares and emotional instability, among others. Some decisions taken emotionally can later lead to regret.Mercury (weak communication and learning hurdles)

Mercury rules an individual’s thinking power, speech, and short journeys. Signs of a weak Mercury are: misunderstandings, issues in learning languages, technical skills, stammering and nervousness, among others.Venus (strained relationship and low on comfort)Venus represents love, money, beauty, and comforts. Weak Venus manifests as troubled romantic relationships, no pleasures, money mismanagement, or issues in artistic pursuits. Repeated failed partnerships or a sense that love brings complications rather than happiness are some red flags.Jupiter (lack of guidance, and legal issues)

Jupiter rules luck, education, law and philosophy. A weak Jupiter may show poor fortune despite merit, failure in higher education, legal issues and narrow thinking. No spiritual guidance is also one of the prime signs. Financial setbacks despite long-term efforts can also point to a weak Jupiter.Rahu & Ketu (obsession, confusion, detachment)

While Rahu makes you obsessed, Ketu seeks detachment. These are two nodes which work opposite. When Rahu is troubling, people may chase toxic desires, get caught in scams, or experience sudden social or career upheavals. A problematic Ketu shows unexplained losses, no interest in the world, or sudden breaks.However, these are just basic traits of every planet. The result might differ when these are place with different planets.
