Benefic Houses (1st, 5th, 9th, and 10th)
Planets placed in or ruling these houses generally bring positive results. For example:
Jupiter in the 9th house enhances wisdom, fortune, and spiritual growth.
Venus in the 5th house promotes creativity, romance, and prosperity.
The Moon in the 1st house improves emotional well-being and popularity.
Even naturally malefic planets like Saturn or Mars can give favorable results if well-placed in these houses. For instance, Saturn in the 10th house can bring career success through discipline.
Malefic Houses (6th, 8th, and 12th)
These houses are considered challenging, and planets here may create obstacles.
Mars in the 6th house can cause conflicts but also gives victory over enemies.
Rahu in the 8th house may bring sudden crises but also hidden talents.
Saturn in the 12th house can lead to isolation but also spiritual growth.
However, benefic planets like Jupiter or Mercury in these houses can mitigate difficulties. For example, Jupiter in the 6th house protects from health issues and legal troubles.
Key Takeaways
A planet’s effect depends on its strength, aspects, and conjunctions.
Even bad houses can give positive results if ruled or occupied by strong benefic.
Malefic planets in good houses can still bring success but with struggles.
Understanding planetary rulership’s and house placements helps in making better astrological predictions and remedies. A balanced chart analysis is essential rather than judging a single placement in isolation.
