Questions on Planetary Beneficence and Maleficence

[Guest guest]

OHM SHRI RAGAVENDRAYA NAMAH

JAYA JAGANNATHA

 

Namaste Beau,

 

1. Rasi is basic and it is the key for determination. So, if moon or mercury is

malefic for Rasi chart, then he is malefic for the native through out the life

and through out the divisional the charts. But, the functionality varies

depending on the placement in the individual divisional chart. If moon is

malefic as per Rasi chart and if it is functionally benefic in divisional

chart, he will be naturally malefic, but, functionally benefic w.r.t. that

divisional chart.

 

To understand better, we have our Lady Pharmacist, she is a very hard and strict

person with all the staffs, even very senior Directors are afraid to talk to

her. But, she is very soft with lower level staffs, without compromising on the

strictness. So, the strictness is her basic or natural malefic nature. The

softness with lower level staffs is benefic quality for that particular group

or (divisional chart).

 

Even this above functionality is applicable in Rasi chart too.

 

2. Moon:- There are many opinions on its benefic or malefic determination. As

per Gurudeva, Moon is stronger from the 8 th day (Ashtami) of waxing period

– Shukla Paksha – to the 8th day (Ashtami) of waning period –

Krishna Paksha. It is understandable. During these periods, moon is relatively

stronger and brighter than the other half. Only when it is brighter and

stronger he can be benefic. But it is benefic only from Shukla Paksha Ekadasi

to Krishna Paksha Panchami.

 

3. Mercury:- Your understanding is correct and your second part of the question

is answered in 1st para. This is applicable not only to Mercury and Moon, it is

applicable for all planets.

 

Thanks

Questions on Planetary Beneficence and Maleficencenamo vaH, gurus and sisyas,I

have some questions regarding the determination of Moon's and Mercury'sbenefic

or malefic nature in a varga. Could some of you please give me someguidance?My

current understanding, based on Narasimhaji's book 'Vedic Astrology:

AnIntegrated Approach', is that the following rules apply:Jupiter and Venus are

always naturally benefic.Sun, Mars, Saturn, Rahu, and Ketu are always naturally

malefic. (I didn'tsee Saturn listed on page 24, but inferred it's status from

other commentaryin the book.)Moon is naturally benefic when waxing, and

naturally benefic when waning.As this can only be determined from the rAshi

chart configuration, it seemsthat the Moon's natural state for a particular

native is either alwaysnaturally benefic or naturally malefic in all vargas for

that native. Isthis correct? Also, is it benefic when it is at its fullest and

maleficwhen newest, the points at which it is not waxing or waning?Mercury is

naturally benefic when alone, or conjoined with more naturalbenefics.Mercury is

naturally malefic when conjoined with more natural malefics.Is Mercury's natural

beneficence or natural maleficence calculated from therAshi chart and then

maintained throughout the rest of the vargas, or is itrecalculated based the

placement of the planets in each varga? Also, isMercury benefic, neutral, or

malefic when conjoined with an equivalentnumber of benefics and malefics?Thank

you for your help!Best regards,BeauYour use of is subject to the

Dear Guru Solaiji,

 

Thank you for shedding light on this; the illustration of the Lady

Pharmacist also made it clearer w.r.t. the difference between natural vs.

functional planetary state. I still have a question about finding Mercury's

natural beneficence/neutrality/maleficence: Is he naturally benefic,

naturally neutral, or naturally malefic when conjoined with an equivalent

number of benefics and malefics in the Rasi chart?

 

Thank you for your time and help,

Beau

[sjvc] Questions on Planetary Beneficence and Maleficence

 

 

namo vaH, gurus and sisyas,

 

I have some questions regarding the determination of Moon's and Mercury's

benefic or malefic nature in a varga. Could some of you please give me some

guidance?

 

My current understanding, based on Narasimhaji's book 'Vedic Astrology: An

Integrated Approach', is that the following rules apply:

 

Jupiter and Venus are always naturally benefic.

Sun, Mars, Saturn, Rahu, and Ketu are always naturally malefic. (I didn't

see Saturn listed on page 24, but inferred it's status from other commentary

in the book.)

 

Moon is naturally benefic when waxing, and naturally benefic when waning.

As this can only be determined from the rAshi chart configuration, it seems

that the Moon's natural state for a particular native is either always

naturally benefic or naturally malefic in all vargas for that native. Is

this correct? Also, is it benefic when it is at its fullest and malefic

when newest, the points at which it is not waxing or waning?

 

Mercury is naturally benefic when alone, or conjoined with more natural

benefics.

Mercury is naturally malefic when conjoined with more natural malefics.

Is Mercury's natural beneficence or natural maleficence calculated from the

rAshi chart and then maintained throughout the rest of the vargas, or is it

recalculated based the placement of the planets in each varga? Also, is

Mercury benefic, neutral, or malefic when conjoined with an equivalent

number of benefics and malefics?

 

Thank you for your help!

 

Best regards,

Beau
