🕉Understanding Remedial Measures:

9th house is our Sanchitha Karma (Accumulated past

merits), 5th house is our Prarabdha Karma (Fructifying
karma) and 10th house is our Kriyamana or Agaami Karma
the actions of the present.

An afflicted bhava or planet has benefics especially Jup in

5th or 9th house from that bhava or planet it can be
remedied. If malefics are situated in 5th or 9th from a bhava
or planet especially Sat Rahu Ketu that house cannot be
remedied. If both malefics and benefics are there in its trine
it can be partially remedied.
