Badhaka for fixed lagnas
Traditionally ninth lord is considered badhak for fixed lagnas
The Sarvarth Chintamani of Vyankatesh Sharma, Chapter 17, Pages 367-371, by J.N. Bhasin, Sagar Publications.
In Prasna Marga, Harihara has given the analysis of an horsocope based on Badhaka point of view. He says that for all movable signs, the 11th house there from is the badhaka sthana, for all fixed signs, the 9th there from are their badhakasthana and for all the dual signs, the 7th there from are their badkasthanas.
Taking traditional view the badhaks are as under for each sign.
Moveable signs----Aries – Aquarius , cancer—Taurus , Libra---- Leo Capricorn --- Scorpio ( Saturn ,Venus, Sun and mars)
Dual signs---Gemini—Sagittarius , Virgo—Pisces , Sagittarius—Gemini, Pisces – Virgo ( Jupiter, mercury )
Fixed signs---Taurus—Capricorn , Leo—Aries , Scorpio—cancer, Aquarius--- Libra ( Saturn, mars ,moon and Venus)
But for Taurus Saturn is yogakarka ,for leo Mars is a yoga karaka, for Scorpio moon is an auspicious planet for Aquarius Venus is a yoga karaka.
Now the question can a planet be a yoga karaka and badhaka at the same time.
It’s like a driver with feet on accelerator and brake the vehicle goes nowhere. Taking Kama trikona we find lord of 7th as badhak for dual signs, lord of 11th as badhak for moveable signs now it leaves lord of 3rd to be notified as badhak for fixed lagna making the kama trikona as badhak trikona,for its well known that desires develop from Kaam and all sufferings and setbacks arise from it only.
Taking 3rd lord as badhaka we get the following picture .
Taurus-- Cancer , Leo--- Libra , Scorpio--- Capricon, Aquarius--- Aries( Moon ,Venus ,Saturn and mars)
Moreover this adds up to the kama trikon as explained above thereby once again the logic of 3rd as badhaka gives a good logical pointer .
Dharma trikona-Lagna ,5th & 9th houses.
Artha trikona-2nd ,6th & 10th houses.
Kama trikona-3rd, 7th& 11th houses
Moksha trikona-4th ,8th & 12th houses.
Dharma trikona are houses of rigteous deeds. lords of these houses are helpful in making life a success they may be called sadhakas. Houses in opposition to lagan , 5th & 9th are 7th .11th & 3rd forming kama trikona , if dharma helps kama or vasana ( lust) obstructs thus badhaks . For moveable signs 5th house & lords are best helpful and therefore the opposite 11 th house and its lord is badhak. For dual signs lagan and lagnesh are most helpful and therefore the opposite 7 th is badhak. For fixed signs 9th house and 9th lord are most helpful and thus not deterrent as mistaken by some others , therefore the opposite house 3 and its lord are the badhaks .
Badhak for moveable signs is 11th lord ,for muteable signs 7th lord for fixed lagna lord of 3rd which is always inimical to lord of ascendant should be badhaka thereby logically it completes the kama trikona with 7th and 11th lord already bsadhakas.How can a dharma bhav pati or bhagyesh be a badhakesh for fixed lagna more so when its yogakarak planet also .
For eg For TAURUS LAGNA MAKAR RASI is BADHAKESH as per astrological texts SO
SANI IS BADHAKESH
BUT
for TAURUS LAGNA SANI ALSO IS CONSIDERED THE BEST YOGAKARAKA .
SANI IS BADHAKESH
BUT
for TAURUS LAGNA SANI ALSO IS CONSIDERED THE BEST YOGAKARAKA .

Taking a look at 3rd house significations we find that third is more about action, confusion casual acquaintances, courage, firmness, communication, rumor mongering etc.
While 9th stands for wisdom faith, Guru, Father, fortune, good conduct, penance and philosophy.
So though the third stands for worldly desires, confusion, action, boldness etc the ninth house stands for wisdom, learning and restraint and faith,so how can the lord of 9th obstruct or hinder progress.
Lord of 3rd is almost always considered as a malefic while lord of 9th is considered benefic. A benefic cannot obstruct, so it has to be the lord of 3rd to be the badhak.
