Guest guest Posted November 15, 2003 Report Share Posted November 15, 2003 Dear Puneet, What Pradeep was, probably trying to tell you was that beneficence or otherwise of planets depends on other factors as well. However to come to your questions, 1) When classics refer to benefics such as Benefics in Kendras, Natural benefics are meant. 2) Functional beneficence or malfeacance does not change the way an aspect of a benefic/malefic operates. Having said this while applying the principles to real life charts other factors as indicated by Praeep have also to be factored in. Hope this make it clear. Chandrashekhar.

I hope some body can clarify my doubts. Once again my questions were :- 1. You see a lot of mention in the classics about benefics and malefics e.g "when benefics are in the kendra..." Are we talking about natural benefics here or functional benefics? 2. Some books say that the aspect of a benefic is good and aspect of malefic is bad. Well, Jupiter is a functional malefic for some rising signs, does that mean that the Jupiter aspect is bad in those charts even though Jupiter is a natural benefic?

Priority should be given to Natural benefics and malefics. Natural benefics become functional malefics due to ownership of inauspiscious houses like 3,6,8,12,11 etc.Then they will give results in relation to the houses they own. They lose beneficience due to ownership of kendra houses as well. So when we say benefics or malefics it is relative,though natural ones have priority. If they own good as well as bad houses then results can be mixed. Learned members could help me in understanding the basics.
