Recall¶

Explain why a natural malefic lording a trine (5th/9th) still gives auspicious effects.

A hypothetical planet rules the 7th and 5th houses (one Kendra, one Trikona). Per v.13, what does this combination produce?

Is the claim "Rahu = Aquarius, Ketu = Scorpio" part of Parashara's own verse text in this chapter, or a view the translator attributes to other, unnamed writers?

Target: ~80% correct before treating the lesson as mastered.

Kendra, Trikona, Trishadaya, Parashraya.
Per v.2, Trikona (5th/9th) lordship is always auspicious, regardless of the planet's natural benefic or malefic status — trine lordship overrides natural nature entirely, unlike Kendra lordship which merely neutralizes it.
Per v.13, a single planet simultaneously ruling a Kendra (7th) and a Trikona (5th) house is a Yoga Karaka.
A view the translator attributes to other, unnamed writers ("some learned writers") — not part of Parashara's own verse text, which instead gives Rahu/Ketu a conjunction/occupation-based effects rule (v.16) without ever assigning them a sign.
