General Characteristics Of Planets

Strong Planets

 

A strong natal planet protects and promotes its general significations and the significations of its mooltrikona house. Any planet is considered strong when it is not in the state of weakness. It can increase its strength if:

 

a) it is young, i.e. its longitude is between 10º to 20º in a particular sign.

b) it occupies own or good navamsa and other divisions.

c) it is under the close influence of the functional benefic planets.

d) it occupies its exaltation, mooltrikona or own sign.

 

Weak Planets

 

A weak natal planet is not capable of fully protecting/promoting its general significations and the significations of its mooltrikona house during the course of its sub-periods and during the triple transit functional malefic influences. By descending order of weakness, any planet becomes weak when:

 

1) The most effective point of its mooltrikona sign is afflicted by a functional malefic planet within an orb of one degree.

2) The most effective point of its house of placement is afflicted by a functional malefic planet within an orb of one degree.

3) It is conjunct or aspected by any functional malefic planet within an orb of one degree.

4) It is combust due to its nearness to the Sun.

5) It occupies malefic houses from the ascendant, except if in its own mooltrikona sign.

6) It occupies its sign of debilitation.

7) It is in the state of infancy or old-age.

8) It occupies its debilitated sign in navamsa.

9) It occupies the mooltrikona sign of a weak planet.

10) It is the Moon within 72 degrees either side of the Sun. However, this is a minor weakness.

 

NOTE: In serial nos. (1) to (3) above, when the affliction is special or multiple i.e. when it comes from:

 

1) a conjunction with/ aspect from the most malefic planet,

2) an aspect from a functional malefic planet placed in a dusthana,

3) a conjunction with Rahu or Ketu (Rahu-Ketu axis)

4) an aspect of a functional malefic planet afflicted by other(s) functional malefic planet,

5) more than one functional malefic planet at the same time,

Then the otherwise "strong" planet should be considered afflicted (and weak) even when the orb of affliction is of two degrees.

Afflicted Planets

 

Whenever a planet is already weak for any other reason and is under the close influence of any functional malefic, it is treated as an afflicted planet. But when the planet is not weak for other reasons, it can only be considered afflicted under the exact influence of any functional malefic, becoming a weak planet for that reason. So whenever any planet is afflicted, it becomes weak. The significations of the house having a mooltrikona sign of an afflicted planet are harmed.

 

 

Afflicting Planets

 

Only the functional malefic planets can be afflicting planets.

 

It is very necessary to understand the difference between afflicting planets and afflicted planets.

 

 

Dispositor

 

Dispositor is a planet in whose moolatrikona sign another planet is located in the natal chart.

 

QUALITIES AND SEX OF PLANETS

 

The Sun, the Moon, Venus and Mercury are of rajasic nature. Jupiter is of satvic. Mars, Saturn, Rahu, and Ketu are of tamsic nature.

 

The Sun, Mars, and Jupiter are male while the Moon, Venus, and Rahu are female. Mercury, Saturn and Ketu are eunuchs.

 

FUNCTIONAL NATURE OF PLANETS

 

The functional nature of planets is the key analytical factor in the horoscope analysis. Besides Rahu and Ketu, the planets, whose mooltrikona signs are in malefic houses (sixth, eighth and twelfth) with reference to the ascendant, act as functional malefic planets in a nativity. For this purpose, under the Systems' Approach, the sign Cancer is considered as the mooltrikona sign of the Moon.

The functional malefic planets for various ascending signs are as under:

 

 

Aries: Mercury, Rahu and Ketu.

Respected Sandhu Ji,

 

Thanks for the information This information is highly beneficial to learners like us. This post is like another street light on the road of learning for us.

 

I am confused for some of the facts described in Last of the post specifying Functional malefics and benefics for specific ascendents. So far I was following something different. Although most of them are correct but there are some contraindications I want to specify here. Please clarify my doubt.

 

For an example I am describing only few ascendents

 

For Aries - Saturn is to be considered Malefic because it is 11th lord and also 11th is Mooltrikon sign

 

For Taurus - Mars looses it's malefic property because it owns 7th and 12th house. 12th is neutral and 7th is Kendra. So Mars is considered neutral

 

For Gemini - Sun rules 3rd so malefic, Mars (6th and 11th, So malefic), Jupiter (7th and 10th so malefic) [For Venus Lagna venus is considered only benefic, rest are considered neutral]

 

Similarly,

 

For Cancer = Venus (4H 11H - 11th house makes malefic and 4h adds to malefic property - Malefic) Saturn (7H 8H - 7H makes MAlefic and 8H Neutral - overall Neutral)

 

Leo = Mercury (2H Neutral 11H Malefic - Malefic) Moon (12H Neutral) Venus (10H Malefic 3H MAlefic - MAlefic) Saturn (6H 7H - Malefic/neutral)

 

Virgo = Jupiter (4H 7H malefic)

 

Also in other specifications there are contraindications.

 

Respected Sandhuji, Please clear my doubts, I will be highly thankful to you

 

Kind Regards

Atul

Dear readers,

 

Shri Sandhu ji has made an effort in describing planets nature & effects for the benefits of the readers. I do appreciate.

 

However,those intent to go into the deep& detailed study by exponents, must study "LAGHU PRASHARI" - which is the most authoritative text on the naturte of planets for each Lagna.
