Guest guest Posted June 25, 2006 Report Share Posted June 25, 2006 Lords of 6, 8, and 12 houses containing a mooltrikona sign are functional malefics. Ra and Ke are always malefic. Best regards, Vyas Munidas - " Dr. Narendra Tuli " <drntuli Sunday, June 25, 2006 11:27 AM Functional malefics Dear Members, I am a student of astrology and want to understand the logic behind the following: 1. The Lords of 4,7,and 10 are functional benefics if the planets themselves are natural malefics, and they become functional malefics if they are natural benefics. I can understand a natural malefic becoming a functional benefic in the above case, but am not able to understand that how a natural benefic (like Jupiter in Gemini ascendent)becomes a functional malefic by this logic? I would be obliged if the learned members can clear this doubt. Respectful regards Dr. Tuli Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 26, 2006 Report Share Posted June 26, 2006 Dear Dr. Narendra Tuli, You seem to be mired in the confusion of classical vedic astrology. I highly recommend learning Systems' Approach techniques. As Vyas wrote earlier, the lords of the 6th, 8th, and 12th houses containing the mooltrikona sign are treated as functional malefics under the Systems' Approach. Rahu and Ketu are always functional malefics. All other planets are functional benefics. Functional nature is a unique entity, and has no relation to whether a planet is a natural malefic or a natural benefic. The former has no real relevance in predictive astrology. In the example you've given, Jupiter would be treated as a functional benefic for Gemini ascendant as its mooltrikona sign falls in the 7th house. Kendradhipati dosha is completely irrelevant and meaningless. Similarly, natural malefics owning kendra houses do not suddenly become more benefic as a result of just that. Any planet would be treated as a functional benefic if it owns a kendra house, as they are good houses, along with any other non-dusthana house. I hope this clears your confusion.
