Guest guest Posted December 20, 2005 Report Share Posted December 20, 2005 Dear Imran-ji & other gurus Thanks for the concise explanation. Now taking your example further with tauras lagna and Sa as functional benefic (yogakarak as well). Consider that this saturn is placed in libra (exalted). How would one analyse the aspects made by saturn ? For example saturn from libra aspects 8th house, 12th house and 3rd house. So do we consider these aspects benefic (due to the functional nature) or malefic (due to saturn being a natural malefic) ? Please advice. Thanks and kind regards.

Jupiter and Venus are pure natural benefics while Mercury and Moon are conditional natural benefic.

Parasara classification is widely accepted and followed. Please see, BPHS and Laghu Parasari that discuss the critera to mark whether a planet is functional benefic or malefic. > > Dont confuse AVASTHA and PLACEMENT with benefic/malefic attribute of planets. Avastha and placement determine planet's strength in the chart. Let say, Saturn is a functional benefic for Taurus ascendant. If is badly placed or in bad avastha (debiliated, or combust), then this does not snatch the status of Saturn of beign functional benefic. Here it would simply mean functional benefic is weak due to bad avastha. > > With Regards, > M.Imran > > > vivahsearch <vivahsearch> wrote: Respected Gurus > > Could you pls give some insights on how to decide whether a planet is > a benefic or malefic in a given chart i.e taking into account > avasthas,lordship,placement, etc. > > Thanks > > K > > > > > > > > > > > > To UNSUBSCRIBE: Blank mail to vedic astrology- > > .......
