Grah

Saturn, Mars, Sun, Moon 

That is natural malefic and moon

Core component (Lagna or Lagna lord)

Yuti/dristi with a chidra grah (primary) prsthodaya grah

Principle 1

Difficult births are likely when:

Lagna or Lagna Lord occupies a Prsthodaya Rasi

         And

       is afflicted 

(by Chidra  or Prsthodaya Grahas)

especially when such grahas occupies Prsthodaya rashis and are themselves afflicted by 

Grahas occupying Prsthodaya Rasis

Principle 2

Or 

The Lagna or Lagna lord occupies a Prsthodaya Rasi

And

Dasha AND Bhukti Lord at birth occupy Prsthodaya Rasi 

AND

are afflicted ideally by Grahas occupying Prsthodaya Rasi

AND

Ideally the afflicted grahas are themselves are afflicted by grahas occupying Prsthodaya Rasi

Note: affliction includes chidra, presense of presthodya rasi is fundamental

we want afflicter to be afflicted

Principle 3

Or 

Lagna lord occupies a

Prsthodaya rashi while being a chidra

But Not

If it is swa in the lagna

Or 

It is stabalized by Jupiter, venus, or Me

Principle 4

Lagna or Lagna lord occupies a Sirsodaya OR ubhayodaya Rashi

And 

heavily afflicted by multiple grahas (especially if lagna lord is in Trik)

And

ideally the affliction is by Grahas occupying Prsthodaya Rashi

note: affliction assumes chidra

Intensifiers:

Here are few - You can use your good jyotish judgement

• Ava Yoga, Arista Yoga, any yoga that weakens the horoscope especially those that weakens Lagna or Lagna Lord
• Dasha and Bhukti Lords are both malefic
•  Born into and already running saturn dasha
• Born into sade sati or running it early while running a saturn or moon dasha (especially moon is weak, afflicted or in trik)
• Born into Saturn one way on the moon in either Saturn or Moon dasha
• Dasha and Bhukti lords at birth are poorly placed in the D6, d8, and D21
•  Key grahs (lagna lord etc. are in Gandanta)
•
