Role of Malefic Planets and the Lords of the Malefic Houses.

People seek help from the divine science of astrology when they are in suspense and distress and are hounded by uncertainties in life. Not only they want to know about the duration and the result of the uncertainty but also seek advice to redress their concern, as well. Help seekers are from all walks of life, crossing the bars of caste, creed and religion. Though the divine science was used by Indians since time immemorial, it is not concerned with Hinduism or for that matter with any other religion. As the Sun gives light and energy to one and all across the world so is its influence based on its position in the horoscope drawn for a person for the time of his/her birth.A man is troubled by ill health, insolvency, disputes, accidents, obstructions, hospitalization, punishment by the state, enmity, etc. We all know that these aspects are governed by the malefic houses, viz. the sixth, eighth and the twelfth houses. The results pertaining to these houses are felt during the sub-periods of the planets placed in these houses depending upon their respective strength and the lords of these houses causing close afflictions in the chart. Based on this simple technique, not only the divine science can foretell the incidence of the difficult times and the areas of difficulties but it can also suggest ways and means to reduce the impact of the difficulties to a large extent. The wisest creation of the God, the man, learnt to augment the potentialities in the chart. A happy and content man is an asset for the society as he can help people in distress during the spare time available with him. All planets placed in malefic houses show trouble to their significations in their operating sub-periods. The functional malefic lords cause trouble if they cause close afflictions in the chart and are weak. If the functional malefic lords are strong and do not cause close afflictions, then in their sub periods they bestow good results concerning the positive aspects of the house ruled by them. The two key areas for the analysis of the horoscopes are the functional nature of the planets in a particular nativity and the relationships developed by the planets with other planets and houses through conjunction/aspects/placements. While the placement of a planet affects the significations ruled by it, its impact on the house of its placement would be only applicable if it forms close conjunction/aspect with its most effective point. Any planet posited within 5 degrees (on either side) of the most effective point of any house would be making its significant impact on the said house, depending of course upon the strength and functional nature of the planet under consideration. This planet also fully influences the house(s) aspected by it.
The positive traits of the evil houses are as under:-
The Sixth HouseSound financial position, victory over enemies and no apprehension of losses through theft and fire.
The Eighth houseLong life, financial gains to the father, gains through inheritance, draw of lots and unearned wealth, continuity of marital tie, etc.
The Twelfth houseGood sleep, staying together with the spouse, gains from foreign lands, no apprehension of imprisonment and hospitalizations, comforts and luxurious life.
The positive traits of evil houses, which contain mooltrikona sign(s), fructify when their lords are strong, well-placed and unafflicted.
The subject is discussed further with case studies at my website.
