In Jupiter in 1st, 3rd, 6th, 10th - should be pacified; In 4th, 8th, 12th - not acceptable; If its weak in Rāśi/Navāṁśa then its not auspicious even in good house. |
Sun - makes one cruel-minded; Moon-stupid; Mars-sinner; Mercury-clever; Jupiter - doer of worthy deeds; Venus - yagna, wealthy; Śani - stupid; |
Benefic - engaged in education; Malefic-penurious. |
Sun-royal service; Moon- trader; Mars-arms, weapon; Mercury-teacher; Jupiter-scholar; Venus-wealthy; Saturn - servant of low born |
If one of them or both are with Sun - no good qualities; Mars- violent; Śani - cruel; Mercury-scholar |
No planets in 6th/8th. No malefics in 1st, 5th and 8th. No benefics in dusthāna. Malefics best in upachaya. Moon in Lagna is auspicious only when exalted, own. |
The graha which lords the Veda or Varna should be strong and well placed. |
