Iyer - Divisional Strength and Weakness

Natural Benefics in Divisional Charts: Jupiter, Venus, Mercury – Moon ONLY when in its own sign or exalted in divisional chart.

Natural Malefics in Divisional Charts: Sun, Mars, Saturn, Rahu and Ketu.

To help differentiate between Rasi and Divisional Chart strengths and weaknesses, please consider the following terms:

“Well Conditioned and Poorly Conditioned” used for Rasi description of strength and weakness.

“Strong and Weak” used for Divisional description of strength and weakness.

Sole Enemies: Counting from Vimshottari Dasha, it will always be the 6th planet)


REMEMBER CONFLUENCE COUNTS (THE HAPPY MEDIUM FOR ASSESSING AND MEETING ALL CONSIDERATIONS).
Use common sense: IF A PLANET HAS DIG BALA, BUT IT IS ASPECTED BY ITS ENEMY AND EVERY NATURAL MALEFIC IN THE CHART – HOW GOOD CAN IT REALLY BE?

Additional Considerations:

There are several ways in which a planet in the Rasi will influence all or some of the Divisional Charts:

1. When Retrograde in Rasi (Strength)
2. Combust (Weakens)
3. Planetary War (if defeated, it weakens)
4. If a planet participates in certain Graha Yogas – additional strength or weakness can occur.
