In the horoscope, if a planet is in opposition to its sign of exaltation or in conjunction with the Sun it is considered to be weak. If a person's horoscope has a weak moon or Venus in the sixth, eighth or twelfth house then such a person should recite 'Namo Arihantānam' pada. In the same way if the Sun or the Mars is weak then 'Namo Siddhāṇam' pada, if Jupiter is weak then 'Namā Āyariyāṇam' pada, if the Mercury is weak then 'Namo Uvajjhāyānam' and if the Saturn, the Rāhu or the Ketu are weak then 'Namo Loe Savvasāhūņam pada should be recited!
