THE MOST MALEFIC INFLUENCE

Mostly, the people seeking advantage of astrology remember it in the
time of distress.
Therefore, the first thing is to gauge the strength of the
planets so that the malefic influences on the weak planets can be
analyzed.
The most malefic influence in a nativity is that of the lord of
the eighth house if it contains a mooltrikona sign.
However, if it does not contain a mooltrikona sign, the title of the most malefic planet
passes on to the lord of the twelfth house if there is a mooltrikona sign.
Further, if, both the eighth and the twelfth houses do not contain a
mooltrikona sign, then the title of the most malefic planet passes on to
Ketu.
 

The close impact of the planets is gauged through their closeness to the
natal positions i.e. a longitudinal distance of less than 5 degrees.
Besidesthe natal position of the planets, there is mid-point or the most effective
point of each house known by the degree rising in the ascendant.
Suppose an ascendant of 16 degrees rises.
It means the mid-point or the most effective point of each house would
be 16 degrees. The most malefic planets in any house having a longitude
between 11 to 21 degrees would malefically influence the most effective
point of the house of its placement and the house(s)/ planet(s) aspected
by it or the planet(s) in conjunction with it.

If the planet or the lord of the house, with which the most malefic planet
is forming a close conjunction/aspect, is strong and well placed, this
most malefic planet creates tension(s) with regard to the matters
represented by the house/planet involved.
When the afflicted planet isweak, the significations suffer seriously.
When the afflicted planet is weak and badly placed, it results in tragic happenings.
To understand the difference between tension, serious trouble and tragic happenings
consider the situations of fever, jaundice and the loss of a limb ruled by
the concerned planet, respectively. The transit impact of slow moving
stationary malefic planets triggers the trouble. When the affliction is
close to the mid-point of the house, significations of all the houses
involved, that is the house occupied and the house(s) aspected, suffer.
In the case of the afflicted planets, besides their general significations,
the significations of the house (i) where the mooltrikona sign is placed,
and (ii) significations of the house where the planet is placed, suffer.
The descending order for the weak planets is a combust planet, bad
placement, debilitation, old age, infancy, debilitated in navamsa and the
weak dispositor.
