Recall¶

Explain why the Moon considers Mercury a friend but Mercury considers the Moon an enemy — is this an inconsistency in BPHS?
Explain the correct priority order for applying the Ratio of Effects table (which check comes first, second, etc.).

Natural relationship = friend; temporary relationship = enemy. What is the compound relationship?
A malefic planet sits in a sign owned by its natural+temporary great enemy (and is not exalted, Mooltrikona, or own sign). What percentage of its malefic effect does it produce?

Is the specific claim "Moon's natural enemies: none" explicitly stated as such in the verse, or is it something you derive by checking which houses from Taurus (Moon's Mooltrikona) fall in the enemy-house set?

Check Answers

4th, 2nd, 12th, 5th, 9th, 8th (from Mooltrikona).
10th, 4th, 11th, 3rd, 2nd, 12th (from actual position).
Not an inconsistency — each planet's natural relationship is computed independently from its own Mooltrikona sign, so mutual agreement isn't guaranteed by the system's design.
Exaltation first, then Mooltrikona, then own sign; only if none of these apply, check the occupied sign's lord's compound relationship (friend/neutral/enemy) to the planet.
Neutral (friend + enemy = neutral, per the compound table).
100% of the malefic effect (enemy/debilitated tier on the inauspicious table).
It is not stated as an explicit standalone claim — it's derived by applying v.55's house-counting rule to the Moon's Mooltrikona sign (Taurus) and finding that all seven other classical planets fall within the friend/neutral house set, leaving no enemy houses populated. Label this "Interpretation inferred from surrounding BPHS material" if asked — it's a correct derivation, not a directly quoted fact.
