  2. Nice article Sir, If saturn is the lagna lord…and also it is the weakest planet in shadbala…should we consider not good for person influence in society…my Saturn is also in 4th house in aries sign 2 degree in ashwini nakshatra…and in vargottam navamsha…my basic question is should we consider shadbala while deciding strength of planet and lagna lord is more important or sun and moon strength is more important in one horoscope…Thank you

    1. Namaste Umang,

      Strength of all 3 is important Lagna, Sun and Moon. When we say lagna, sun and moon it implies that planets owning lagna, sun and moon signs should also be strong.

      Debilitated Vargottama is not strong but debilitated and weak.

      There are many types of strengths, Shadbala is one of them. Yes Shadbala is also considered.

  3. Thank you for your research , I wish to ask one thing whether it is true that good planet retrograde is fine and malefic planet retrograde is better than direct. If so what will be impact of Jupiter retrograde in 6th house for Pisces ascendant and make rashi. Also if possible impact of Maharashtra of retrograde jupiter

    1. Namaste

      Retrograde jupiter as lagna lord in 6th will give health troubles and liver diseases, it will give problems due to over-eating.

      retrograde planets in trika houses are never good irrespective of malefic or benefic. Malefics give more troublesome experiences than benefic planets.

    1. Namaste,

      It will show weak liver if placed in rahu nakshatra. You will be fond of learning and gaining knowledge, it will increase sexual appetite and give intelligent friends. Rahu’s nakshatra will indicate being cheated by friends or cheating in terms of property.

  4. If Asc lord is in 10th house Saturn in sign of Scorpio with 10h lord Mars.

    3rd from Asc lord is Su+Me+Ve and 4th from it is Jupiter

    Ketu is 12th from Asc lord.

    What does it indicate. Thanks

    1. These are too general indications without considering whole horoscope. Mars and saturn in 10th is very bad show lots of krura karmas. Position from lagna lord given above indicates that one can prosper with his own skills and efforts and there will be rise after marriage. You seem to be 1986 January-Feb Born.
