If this combination is afflicted, they can even cause you to lose your freedom. For example, they may suggest that you to do something illegal for which you are imprisoned.
Often, the natives having such a placement are attracted to the friends who do illegal things, are addicted to mind-altering substances, or have criminal inclinations. Others might be amazed at how such natives end up in such a company – as though there is some kind of attraction to those who are poor role models.
So if this is your placement, try not to follow the advice of your friends, but do things your way. Also, if this combination is not afflicted and ruled by a benefic, it can simply mean that your friends may be private, secretive individuals.
It can also show that they engage in something immoral or illegal in secrecy, such as having secret love affairs, for example. Another meaning of this astrological configuration is that there are friends in your circle who only pretend to be so, but in truth, are your enemies.
Your friends may live in remote places or do the jobs involving secrecy or which are isolated from the majority of people, such as working in prisons, hospitals, ashrams, research labs, and in similar places. They might earn their money through criminal or illegal activities.
This placement may also show that your friends may live near the sea or other water bodies, or that they would love to live in such locations. Their work may have something to do with water, such as working near or on the sea, with the creatures from the sea, with perfumes or other liquids, for example.
This placement can also suggest that some of your dreams and goals in life could be to do with privacy. For example, one of your dreams could be to get away from your routine and spend time on your own on some island.
Also, you are likely to have private dreams and goals, which you will not share with others, except maybe with those who are very close to you. Such goals may be too personal to share with the world, or they might be the goals that others would not approve of.
