functional nature of planets

[Guest guest]

Namaste gurujis,

 

I am trying to understand and apply the role of functional benefics

and functional malefics in my chart. I have a few clarifications in

this matter:

 

1. If a planet owns 2nd and 11th houses, and is placed in quadrant

(7th house) in a friendly rashi - is that planet considered to be

benefic or not? Specifically the planet is a natural benefic

(Jupiter). I was always under the impression that it is a benefic

and have been advised to wear a pukhraj stone to strengthen it.

 

2. If a planet owns a trine (5th) and 8th and is placed in a

quadrant (10th house) - is it still considered to be a benefic -

naturally it is neutral planet Mercury placed in rashi of Mars.

 

3. Naturally malefic Mars in turns owns the 3rd and 10th house and

is placed in a quadrant -7th house - is that planet neutral or

benefic as it owns the highest dhdharma house - i.e. 10th house.

 

4. Is the lord of the 7th considered to be a benefic or malefic?

This planet is Sun and it doesn't own any other house and in turn is

placed in 11th house. I am confused about the upachaya houses being

considered 'evil'.

 

If someone could please explain the rules, it will help me and a lot

of the other readers who are trying to learn.
