Relationship and Strength-based Failure:
"सत्फलोऽपि खग उग्रवीक्षितो-
ऽसत्फलोऽपि सुकृतेक्षितः किमु ।
सुस्थलस्थितखगः खले क्षितो
ऽसुस्थलभ्थखचरः शुभे ॥२१॥"
- Even an
exalted (satphala) planet gives negative results if aspected by malefics
- Even a
debilitated or detrimental planet becomes fruitful if aspected by benefics
- A planet in
a good house loses power if afflicted by malefics
- A planet in
a bad house gains strength if aspected by benefics
"निष्फलौ रिपुनरीक्षितो
ऽस्तंगतोऽधरभगो फलस्ततः
चेन्नभोग इतरत्र संस्थितो
मध्यमः फल उदीरितस्तदा ॥२२॥"
- A planet
placed in the enemy's sign, combust, debilitated, or in an adverse house
becomes fruitless
- If it's
free from such conditions and in a neutral house, the results are moderate
Inverse Behavior of Natural Malefics and Benefics:
"स्वीप तुंगसखिसद्मसंस्थितः
पामरोऽपि यदि सत्फलं व्रजेत् ।
क्रूरतां व्रजतु शोभनोऽप्यरि-
मूढनीच निलयस्थितो यदि ॥२३॥"
- Even a natural
malefic (like Mars or Saturn), if placed in its own, exalted, or friend’s
sign, becomes capable of giving good results
- Conversely,
even a natural benefic, if placed in an enemy’s sign, debilitated, or
afflicted, turns malefic and causes harm
