All 3 planets -Sun, Mercury and Venus are in close proximity of each other in the galaxy. If all these 3 planets are in a single house in the birth chart that too within 10 degrees of each other then it is a perfect recipe for disaster. Sun is the boss of Mercury, Sun and Venus are enemies, Mercury and Venus are friends. Whenever your friend [you as in Venus, your friend is Mercury] is with his boss [Sun] he would tend to ignore you and focus only on his boss. This destroys Venus, more so when Ketu is badly placed in chart in inimical houses like 3^rd house, 4^th house. Mercury, Venus and Ketu are related. If Ketu is ill-placed in chart both Mercury and Venus become weak. With the weakening of Venus, all the significations of Venus take a back seat. Venus is your earnings, luxuries, knowledge, status, wife, relationship, etc. All these take adverse turn in life. There are high chances of divorce, false allegations by in-laws, sometimes even jail if aspected by malefics and combination happening in malefic houses like 6^th, 8^th or 12^th house. Sun is your image and respect in society which takes a beating. This combination is particularly bad if forming in 1^st, 5^th and 9^th house. The bad effects are reduced to some extent if this combination is aspected by a powerful Jupiter in the birth chart. One may not experience the bad effects if degree wise Sun and Mercury are close but Venus is very far, more than 10 degrees away.

Again, the sign or the rashi in which this combination is forming also plays an important role. This combination in water signs gives emotional disturbance, if forming in watery signs like Cancer, Scorpio or Pisces. This combination gives fights and aggression if forming in fire signs like Aries, Leo and Sagittarius. The intensity of this combination in earthy signs like Taurus, Virgo and Capricorn is less as these are more practical signs. If this combination is forming in intellectual or airy signs like Gemini, Libra and Aquarius, then it brings lot of ego, superiority complex and result in relationship issue.

On the positive side, such people make very good businessmen. As mercury represents Business, Venus is finance, creativity and prosperity and Sun is your soul. This combination indicates very creative and skillful person.

To control the bad effects, one has to keep control on speech and refrain from speaking harsh words. Also, one has to keep his or her character clean and exercise discipline and maintain good moral character. Remedy is to donate 7 Chapatis (Indian bread) to Monk [Ketu is monk] along with Ketu related items like Onion, Garlic, etc. One can also wear pure silver ring in thumb of right hand as the thumb represents Venus and Silver is Moon. Another excellent remedy is to take a Copper Pot, fill it with Moong (green pulse) and seal its mouth with a copper lid. Then drop it in flowing water. Copper represents Sun and Moong is Mercury. This remedy gives relief to Venus. This remedy will give best effects if done at the time of marriage of such native. This remedy can be done by a Girl’s father or in case of a Boy’s chart by his brother.
