GRAHAS Due to the unique lordships of the Graha, its natural malefic or benefic activity can change.
1. When ruling a endra !"th, #th or $%th house& natural benefics loose their benefic quality, and natural malefics loose their malefic quality. A malefic 'ho rules a endra as 'ell as a trine becomes benefic. When ruling a endra, stronger (enefics become stronger malefics. 2. The rulers of Trines (1st, 5th, 9th houses) become benefic. 3. The lord of the Ascendant is a great benefic. 4. The lords of Trishadayas Trishadayas (3rd, th, 11th houses) become malefic. 5. The lords of the !arashrayas (12th, 2nd and "th) act according to their th eir association #ith other malefics$benefics, and also gi%e results according to the house their other sign falls in. . The "th lord is 12th from the 9th, and is therefore not benefic. &hen the "th lord is also a Trishadaya lord (3rd, th, 11th) then it becomes malefic. 'ut if the "th lord also rules a Trine (1st, 5th, 9th) it #ill be a benefic. The u n or oon ruling the "th house h ouse does not become malefic. *. +n each grou (-endras, Trines, Trishadayas, Trishadayas, !arashrayas) the lordshis are increasing stronger in their order. or e/amle the 9th lordshi is a greater benefic than the 5th lord. The nature of a 0raha ruling a redominant house #ill o%er#rite the nature of another 0raha that rules a less redominant house. ote +n the general case of lordshis, there is a rincile that out of the t#o signs signs a 0raha rules, the ooltriona rulershi is more redominant. ome are of the oinion that this #ould cause the nature of the ooltriona lordshi to redominate in determining the functional nature of the 0raha. o#e%er, this conflicts #ith 'rihat !arashara ora hastra in a number of cases ercury$rishabha, ercury$rishabha, aturn$ithuna, aturn$ithuna, 6uiter$-ara, aturn$7hanu, enus$aara. enus$aara. &e therefore do not recommend alying this rincile in this conte/t. o# let8s loo at each Ascendant Ascendant and use these rules to find out #hich 0rahas are functional malefics and #hich are functional benefics. )esha !Aries&
The un rules the the 5th house, so it is a benefic. The oon rules the 4th, so it looses its benefic uality (but does not become a malefic). ars rules rules the 1st and "th houses. As lord of the 1st (rule :1) and as lord of the "th also ruling a trine (rule : ) it #ill be benefic. ;n the other hand, the "th house is redominant o%er the 1st house (rule :*) so the "th house lordshi is not
comletely remo%ed. !arashara concludes that ars is helful to other benefics. +n other #ords, ars can contribute in yogas as a benefic, but also has a malefic side. ercury ruled the 3rd and th house, so it is malefic (rule :4). 6uiter rules the 9th and 12th. The 12th house lordshi is also bringing out the other lordshi (of the 9th). Therefore, 6uiter is a benefic. o#e%er, #hen 6uiter is associated #ith malefics, it8s 12 house lordshi #ill still sho# and turn 6uiter malefic. enus rules the 2nd and *th. The 2nd lordshis is neutral and brings out the other lordshi. The *th, #hich is also the higher house, is strongly emhasiagna. *rishabha !+aurus&
The un rules the 4th house. ormally a trine rulershi is reuired to turn a malefic #holly benefic, but since the un has only one lordshi, it become benefic here. The oon rules the 3rd house and becomes malefic (rule :4). ars rules the 12th and *th. The 12th lordshi is neutral, and the nature deends on the other lordshi, the *th. As *th lord ars looses its malefic uality, but does not turn benefic. ercury rules the 2nd and 5th. As the 2nd ruler it is neutral. The more redominant house is the 5th, a benefic lordshi. +n site of that, !arashara only declares ercury as a lesser 'enefic. This is because ercury8s natural tendency is to act according to its associations, and as the 2nd lord this tendency is reinforced. As a result, ercury is not so caable of acting as a strong benefic on its o#n. 6uiter rules the "th and 11th so it becomes malefic (rule :). enus rules the 1st and th. The th house is the more redominant house. o the malefic contribution of the th #ins o%er the benefic uality of the 1st, and enus is malefic. aturn rules the 9th and 1=th, so it is benefic (rule :1). )ithuna !Gemini&

The 1st house rulershi could mae it a benefic, but the 1st is also a -endra. The more redominant lordshi is the 4th, another -endra. As a result, ercury looses its benefic uality but does not become a malefic. +ts actual nature #ill deend on associations #ith other malefic or benefics.
6uiter rules the *th and 1=th. As a great benefic ruling 2 -en dras, it becomes a malefic (rule :1). enus rules the 12th, #hich is neutral. The other lordshi is the 5th, a trine, so enus becomes a benefic. +t is the only benefic for ithuna >agna. aturn rules the "th and 9th. The "th house lordshi is not good, but the 9th house, a trine, is a benefic one. +n site of that, !arashara does not declare aturn as benefic. !erhas the natural affinity of aturn #ith the "th house brings enough emhasis on the "th house lordshi that it redominates o%er the 9th house. ara !-ancer&
The un rules the 2nd house. +t #ill act according to its association (rule :5). The oon is benefic as it rules the 1st, a trine lordshi. ars rules the 1=th and 5th, and is therefore a -endra as #ell as Triona lord. +t is benefic. ercury rules the 12th and 3rd. The 12th lord is neutral, so the lordshi of the 3rd house maes it malefic. 6uiter rules the th and 9th. The th lordshi is malefic, but the 9th lordshi #hich is a higher house, is benefic. 6uiter8s natural affinity #ith the 9th house #ins, and 6uiter is a benefic. enus rules the 11th and 4th. As 11th lord enus is malefic, and the 4th house lordshi also adds to the malefic nature. aturn rules the *th and "th house. The *th house lordshi for a malefic reduces the malefic tendency, but the "th house lord acts according its association. Therefore, aturn8s nature #ill deend on associations #ith other 'enefic or alefics. eo !Simha&

The 4th is a -endra, and because ercury is a (#ea) natural benefic, it #ould be a (some#hat) malefic lordshi. 'ut the ooltriona sign is redominant here, so the trine lordshi re%ails, and ercury is benefic. 6uiter rules the 4th and *th, 2 -endras, so it is malefic. enus rules the 2nd and 9th. The nature of the 2nd lord deends on association and the other lordshi, so the benefic 9th lordshi re%ails. aturn rules the 5th and th.

aturn rules the 1st and 2nd. The 1st is a benefic lordshi, but aturn8s affinity #ith the 2nd house (2nd lord is a maraa lord, and aturn is a natural significator for death) gi%es a malefic slant. As a result, the t#o effects are cancelled out and aturn is neutral. umbha !Aquarius&

The 5th house lordshi is benefic, and the "th lordshi is malefic. According to the rules, the combination of these t#o lordshis maes a benefic. o#e%er, because ercury is ha%ing such a dual nature, and is so easily subect to 0rahas it is associated #ith, it #ill not be able to manifest only ben efic ualities. !arashara declares ercury as ha%ing a mi/ed nature for this >agna. 6uiter rules the 2nd and 11th house.
