Confusion regarding Malefics placed in Malefic houses???

[Guest guest]

Dear Gentlepeople:

 

I've always wondered whether a weak (in shadbala/vishmopak bala)

malefic planet looses it malefic qualities or becomes MORE malefic?

 

Also, does a strong malefic, i.e. a really strong Rahu, Ketu, Saturn

or Mars give good/benefic results by the virtue of being strong or

will it be MORE malefic because of being strong.

 

Also, most leading authorities and thinkers of vedic astrology have

established that if a malefic planet is placed in a malefic house,

i.e. 3,6,11, then it looses its ability to give malefic results and

instead gives benefic results.

 

Now, my question is as to the aspect of a malefic planet on another

malefic planet--will the aspect of Mars on Rahu make the effects of

Rahu really really bad or will it destroy Rahu and good effects will

be felt in Rahu mahadasa.

 

I was disucssing this with Sanjay (Rath) and Sanjay says that Mars is

the bitter enemy of Rahu. Mars represents Chamunda, i.e. Shakti and

if Mars has its 8th house aspect on Rahu, it will destroy Rahu (evil)

with the ferocity of Chamunda Mata (mother).

 

Now, what Sanjay say makes real good sense to me. However, in my

chart Rahu is placed in Aries in the 6th house from Lagna (9th from

Moon)and Mars (lagna lord) is aspecting Rahu from the 11th house from

Lagna. (June 14, 1967, Bombay, 5.29 pm).

 

Now, per Rath's dictum this Mars will destroy Rahu with its 8th house

(astakshari) aspect. However, there is one more dictum in classics

which says that a planet aspecting its own rashi makes the rashi

stronger.

 

In my chart, Mars is aspecting Aries his own rashi so per the dictum

it will make Aries stronger; however, I'm confused as to wheter it

will make Rahu stronger as well or will Rath's dictum still be true

and Mars will destroy Rahu despite being placed in Mar's rashi Aries.

 

I'd apprecite if the Gurus and learned members throw some light on

this situation. Thanks.
