Guest guest Posted December 30, 1999 Report Share Posted December 30, 1999 Hello, A good start by Rajesh. Probably, the right topic to discuss at this moment. Here, I'm adding some more info about planets classification. Planets can be divided into 4 categories: Natural Benefics (saumya) : Jupiter, Venus, Mercury (Unassociated with malefic), Moon (8th shukla to 8th Krishna Paksha) Natural Malefics (krura): Sun, Mars, Rahu, Ketu, Mercury (with malefics) and waning Moon Functional Benefics (subha): all planets owning houses other than 3,6,8,12 Functional Malefics (papa): all planets owning houses 3,6,8,12 This basic classfication is must before starting analysing any horoscope. Generally, begineers termed a bad house if Saturn or Mars are placed there. It is not necessary. A planet malefic for one horoscope may be benefic for other horoscope. It may be yogakarka for other or Markesh (death giving) for other. So, keep all these points in mind - always.
