Malefics staying in 5 and 9 result in greater adversities for the native.




On Aspects

Planet being aspected by Moon is already receiving the aspect of Jupiter, is also capable of confering auspicious results.

e.g. assume Jupiter in Pisces, weak Moon in Cancer and any planet in Capricorn. The planet in Capricorn receiving Moon's aspect
       will be capable of conferring auspicious results.

Very strong or exalted planet in opposition to equally very strong or exalted planet become ineffective.
e.g. Exalted Sun in Aries and exalted Saturn in Libra. Both become ineffective.

Malefics standing in 10th (without any conjunction/aspect of benefics), will confer servitude. If 3 similar malefics stand in the 10th,
the native will be serving servants.




On Major Periods

  • When the Major Period of Saturn, who is occupying Ascendant, operates, the native will be faced with servitude. If such Saturn is conjunct with other malefics, figuratively speaking, the native will not even get alms.

  • There will be financial gains in Major Period of malefic standing in 5th house, if such a malefic is aspected by another malefic friendly to the
          former.

  • Highly auspicious results will occur in Major Periods of planets in own house, if aspected by another planet which is also in own house.
          Likewise, in the Major Period of a planet in friendly house, if aspected by a planet which is also in a friendly house,  auspicious results.
          So also in the Major Period of a planet enjoying own navamsa, if aspected by another planet enjoying own navamsa, auspicious results.
         
          In other words, the Major Periods of planets, being aspected by planets of identical strength, will produce very good results.

  • The Major Period of the planet in conjunction with Rahu, however good it may be from other points of view, will be equal to that
          of a Major Period of malefic.

  • The effects of the Major Period of a planet in retrogression will be of a moderate order.

  • If SUN is standing in 5, 7 or 9, the native will go on a pilgrimage and will enjoy an elevated position professionally in the Major Period of SUN.
