Guest guest Posted October 3, 2002 Report Share Posted October 3, 2002 Dear Quad,One of two important pillars of strength of a planet is sthanabala, digbala being the other. When in debilitation, a planet lacks sthanabala. This holds for all planets. You do have a point with Moon, for who the pakshabala factor comes in strongly. Most classics would tell you that Moon would be malefic from a stage in the waning cycle to an opposite stage in the waxing cycle. If such weakness would combine with a lack of sthanabala and digbala, it wouldn't be too favorable. Consider a Piscean, with Moon and Sun in Scorpio. Moon would utterly lack sthanabala, pakshabala and have only a little of digbala (its digbala would be zero in tenth, and ninth is next door). There are varied views on Moon's malefic nature. While Parasara and Mihira relate it wholly to pakshabala, Yavaneswara says that Moon is either a benefic or a neutral but never malefic. That said, I personally feel safer going by the functionality of any planet vis-a-vis the ascendant, Moon included. For example, I can't see how it can be a malefic for Pisces, Aries, Libra, Cancer or Scorpio ascendants. At worst, it may be unable to give results due to its weakness but it certainly won't turn malefic.

Guest guest Posted October 3, 2002 Report Share Posted October 3, 2002 Dear Ramapriya, I would like to add my thoughts on the matter. I think Sun and moon should be treated differently. with respect to other planets, they can be functiona/natural benefic/malefic. and accordingly their strength will matter. But sun and moon are the pillars of a chart representing the purush and the prakruti of the chart respectively. hence, I feel, their strength is of most importance. That strength will be used in a positive or negative way based on the rest of the chart. Thats why, its written somewhere (I dont remember the source, unfortunately) that if either of Sun or Moon is debilitated in a chart then that single factor is enough to destroy all the Raj-yogas present in the chart. Note that debilitation for moon is 3 degrees in scorpio and for sun its 10 degrees in libra and need not be the whole signs.. Please correct if I'm wrong..
