My Observation (Author’s Insight)
In practical charts, Mercury in the eleventh house gives its finest results when the Lagna is strong and Mercury remains unafflicted.
Affliction by Dragon’s Head (Rahu) may create deceptive gains or unreliable networks, while influence of Dragon’s Tail (Ketu) may reduce attachment to material profits despite opportunities.
True prosperity manifests when intellect aligns with ethical conduct.
