A natural benefic, such as for instance Jupiter, can a l s o

become a malefic when he is lord of an angle.

N a t u r a l m a l e f i c s s u c h a s M a r s , Saturn,
etc., become temproral benefics if they become lords
of angles (Kendras).Similarly, natural benefics become
malefics if they own quadrangular houses. It is also t o b e
noted that a natural benefic, who becomes a
m a l e f i c b y v i r t u e o f q u a d r a n g l e ownership, will
cease to act as a malefic, when he occupies the angular
house (Kendra)of which he is lord. Thus in case of Cancer,
if Venus occupies Libra, he will cease to be a malefic just
because Libra happens to be his own. Similarly, a
natural malefic, viz., Mars who becomes a benefic by
virtue of quadrangular ownership will cease to be a
benefic, when he occupies the angular house of which he
is the lord
