Debilitated and Malefic Planets are not Always Inauspicious

Malefic planets have always been criticized in Astrology. Planets influenced by malefic planets are also considered inauspicious. But a planet alone does not give any results. Its effects depend upon the sign or the house it is placed in.

However, sometimes inauspicious planets also give good results. For example Saturn and Mars are malefic planets, but when they both form a relationship with the house of education, the person will have interests in technical education. Many people become doctors and engineers due to the influence of this yoga in their birth-chart.

Similarly, we do not expect good results from the debilitated planets. If Sun is debilitated, then the ability of the native to fight with diseases gets affected. Mars influences his courage, and Mercury diverts his mind towards erroneous activities. Debilitated Jupiter may give some difficulties in fulfilling his desires. Debilitated Venus influences his character. If Saturn is debilitated, then he may be interested in immoral activities.

Let us acknowledge how these inauspicious and malefic planets give happiness to the native.

1. Digbali (Directional Strength) Malefic Planet
Every planet gets strength in one or the other direction. In the period of Digbali (directional strength) planets, the native is blessed with good health. He will get respect and honor in the society. His wealth, happiness and prosperity will also increase. When malefic planets like Mars, Saturn and Sun have Dig bala in their period, they give auspicious and good results.

2. Relationship of Inauspicious Planet with the Inauspicious House
The third, sixth, eighth and twelfth houses are known as malefic houses. When any inauspicious planet is located in these houses, the person will get good results. Whenever these planets form a relationship with these houses, afflictions of the person wither away. He will win over his enemies. During the period or sub-period of planets located in these houses, he will get relieved from his problems, illness and diseases. He will be blessed with good health, respect and happiness in life.

3. Relationship Between Kendra and Trine

Auspicious planets give auspicious results in Kendra and Trine. If any benefic planet such as Mercury and Jupiter becomes the lord of two Kendra houses, then due to Kendradhipati Dosha planets lose their auspiciousness. In this situation, they will give you mixed results. But, when any malefic planet like Sun, Saturn and Mars becomes the lord of Kendra house, it gives benefic results. When any inauspicious planet becomes the lord of Kendra and trine, then it becomes the Yogakarak planet and hence more auspicious in this position. It gives a person good health, respect, prosperity and happiness during its period or sub-periods.

Results of the Period of Planets in the Debilitated Sign

1. When any auspicious planet is located in the debilitated sign, and forms a relationship with the eighth or sixth house, then the planet gives physical problems, afflictions and malefic results to the native during its period or sub-period. But if any debilitated or inauspicious planet forms a relationship with these houses during the period it gives good results.

2. When the lords of Kendra houses are placed in the second, seventh and twelfth house, they get influenced by Maarak Dosha. It means they have the ability to cause pain equivalent to death in their periods and sub-periods.

3. When the benefic planets become the lords of the third, sixth, eighth and eleventh house, their auspiciousness gets reduced. In this position, they give only the one-third of their results during the period or sub-period.

Results During the Period of Rahu and Ketu

1. Among all the nine planets Rahu and Ketu are considered most inauspicious planets. These two planets are not given supremacy over any sign. When these two planets are placed in Kendra and form a relationship with the leaders of trine, they give auspicious results in their periods and sub-periods. It is because in this position they are located in the auspicious house and get influenced by the lord.

2. In addition, when Rahu and Ketu are located in the trine house and form a relationship with the lord of Kendra, then the person gets money, happiness and prosperity.

3. The period of Ketu is divided into three parts when it is auspicious in the birth-chart. In the first part of its period, the person will get benefits from his relatives, friends and teachers. In the second part, he will incur good amount of money and in the last part, he will get happiness in his life.

During the period of Ketu, he will achieve success in the field of religion and spirituality.

When Ketu forms a relationship with Jupiter or Sagittarius the native obtains knowledge of religion, policy and justice. Ketu is exalted in Sagittarius and its own house in Pisces. The position of Ketu in Pisces shows the path of moksha to the native.
