IMPACT OF PLACEMENT OF PLANETS

Identifying Results of Placement of Planets
The inter-relationship of the planets and their influences are studied through the conjunctions, mutual aspects and placements of the planets in different houses. The conjunctions and the mutual aspects of the planets are effective when they are within a planetary orb of 5 degrees with other planets or the most effective point of any house. To analyze the results of a planet in a natal chart we consider its placement which may be either in its own sign/house or in any of the remaining houses. Of course, no single planet can give results in isolation but the general role of the planets can be considered.
While studying the lordship of the planets we consider only those houses which contain a mooltrikona (MT) sign of a planet. When the ruler (lord) of any MT sign house is strong in the chart, one will experience the results described in the subsequent paragraphs.
After studying the impact of the first lord being placed in various houses, we will also discuss the role of Rahu, Ketu and the various functional benefic planets whenever they are placed in the first house and influence the most effective point of the ascendant. Similarly, are to be read the results of lords of other houses in various houses. When a planet is close to the most effective point of the house, its impact is long-lived while the impact is short-lived if the planet is not close to the most effective point of the house.
When the lord of the first house is placed in the first house it bestows good health and social position on the person besides a good life span. One has good initiative in life and is capable of solving the problems of life. The nature of the planets also makes a difference. In case there is no mooltrikona sign in the first house then the role of the lord of the ascendant is played by the lord of the third house containing the mooltrikona sign. And if there is no mooltrikona sign in the third house, too, then the role of the lord of the ascendant is played by the lord of the second house.

While reading the results of a particular planet in a particular house one has to consider the lordship of the said planet and the general significations of the said planet. Suppose Mars being the lord of the sixth house is placed in the tenth house. Mars is a functional malefic and its influence on the most effective point of the tenth house will turn the native short tempered and will involve the person in disputes everywhere – at his/her work place, in society and in his close relationships, as well. Mars will cause losses through disputes, thefts and fire. Mars here gives the short-tempered nature while the sixth house gives inclinations of conflicts and incidence of losses through theft and fire. Let us take another example. Suppose Mercury is lord of the twelfth house and is placed on the most effective point of the fourth house. Its impact will cause severe problems in life to parents, loss of assets and loss of mental peace, will delay settling in one’s professional life and will cause inordinate delay in marriage. The marriage may not survive long if the prime determinant of the marriage is weak, too.
Let us have still another example. Suppose the Sun being lord of the third house is placed in the tenth house and is influencing the most effective point of the tenth house. The Sun rules the house of courage and entrepreneurship and its impact is on the tenth house. Such an influence will make the person an entrepreneur and the person will not only venture into one’s own business but will run it successfully.
We hope with the help of the above explained techniques for identifying the inter-relationship of planets, the readers will enhance their ability to read the planetary influences.
