Planets' Functional disposition as per BPHS

[Guest guest]

Dear Gurus & friends

Sub: Query on Exceptions in FB/ FM rules in BPHS

In BPHS, for each lagna, Functional Benefics & malefics have been defined, as I

have summarised in the following table. We know that there are many other

factors which decide the overall functional disposition of a planet, which let

us ignore for this query (eg Mn's phase, placement, yogas, conjunctions,

aspects, etc). My query here relates specifically to WHY THE EXCEPTIONS in

certain cases in the BPHS itself, ie contra to the rules in the BPHS itself (as

derived from the table), both of which are mentioned below:

A) Tabulated Summary of FB/ FM from BPHS: Functional Benefics: FB (+),

Functional Malefics FMs (-), Neutrals (=), Primary marakas (M), not commented

on (?), eg Ma as lord of 3 & 10 for Aq Lg is FM and maraka (query follows after

this table):

B) Rules derivable from following table: Note: abbreviation used below is

planet, Lg, lordship position, result, eg "MnAr4?" is "Mn for Ar Lg as 4th lord

is not commented on" (refer above table, to locate). ? treated as neutral for

the rules

Rule: Lordship combinations

Overall result

Exceptions

Pure FB (1/5/9) or Pure FM (3/6/11)

FB/ FM respectively

None

Pure neutral (8/2/12)

Neutral

None

RajYogKaraks (5/9 with 1/4/7/10)

FB

None

Pure dual kendra

Reversal of natural disposition

SnAq7?, Sn10Sc?, MnAr4?, MnLi10?, McGe1/4?, McSg7/10?, Mc1/10+, JpSg1/4=, JpPi1/10?

FB (9>5>1) with FM (11>6>3): eg lord of 5 & 6 would be a combo of pure opposite

dispositions at equal strength- level

Disposition of the stronger one prevails, & equal-level ones (9/11, 5/6, 1/3) are neutral

MaSc1/6=

Pure FBs or FMs with kendra lords

Ignore kendra lordship

No exceptions

Pure FBs or FMs with L8

FMs always FMs. With FBs, v unclear:

MaAr1/8 helpful=, McAq5/8=, JpLe5/8+, VeLi1/8=, StGe8/9?

Pure FBs or FMs with neuts L 2/12

Ignore neutral

St Sg2/3?, StCp1/2?

Lord of Kendra with neutral

Reversal of natural disposition

StCn7/8=, MaTa7/12?, MaLi2/7

Note I am ignoring various other rules given in various texts, eg Lg lord always

auspicious, multrik related one, etc, as in the summary from BPHS specifically,

such rules would produce far more number of exceptions, than the above rules.

WHY the exceptions, as mentioned in the last column. Or are some of the rules wrong?
