• Natural Benefics and Natural Malefics
• The nature of the influence or aspect of a
planet is good or bad according to whether
the planet is good or bad.
• The planets Saturn, Mars, Sun and Rahu
are considered in astrology as "Natural
Malefics”.
• The aspect .the influence of these planets
on any sign, house or the planet that they
may be aspecting, harms the prospects
denoted by the aspected sign, house or
the planet.
• Similarly astrology holds, Jupiter and
Venus as "Natural Benefics" .

• The aspect of these two planets on any

house etc boosts and enhances the
prospects for which that house etc stands.
• Moon acts in both ways i.e. as a malefic
and a benefic planet.
• The nearer it is to the Sun the less strong

• Until about 72 degree from the Sun it

become weak.
• It's weakness continues to increase until it

strength, although it remains weak till
about 72 degrees ahead of the Sun.
• It is considered strong thereafter until it is
in maximum strength when at a maximum
distance from the Sun i.e. when 180
degrees away from it.
• It's strength then starts declining until it
reaches about 72 degrees from the Sun,
where after it again starts becoming weak.

planet does not act independently.

• That is to say it acts as a. benefic when
located with a benefic planet and acts
as a malefic when located with a

• It is, however, not so severe when these
shadowy planets are located with benefic
planets.
