Lesson 15: Planets and their Natural Behaviors...

Our Rishis considered Jupiter and Venus as natural benefics...

Mercury changes its behavior according to planetary conjunctions...
If Mercury conjoins benefic planets then it also behaves as benefic and vice versa...
That is, if Mercury and Jupiter are in the same Degree in space, Mercury is said to be in conjunction with benefic Jupiter and thus it also acts as benefic...

Sun, Mars and Saturn are considered as Malefics...

Moon, when she is growing is considered as Benefic and when decreasing she behaves as malefic...

Rahu and Ketu are considered similar to Saturn and Ketu and hence both are Malefics...

Are these planets always considered as above? Is Saturn is always malefic? Is Jupiter always benefic?

We already discussed this...

The above mentioned behaviors are the inner nature only... They can change their nature temperarly but resume their intrinsic nature as soon as possible...

For example, say, Jupiter and Saturn are in conjunction... As Jupiter is natural benefic and Saturn is natural malefic and that they are in conjunction the overall effect will be neutral... As soon as they separate from each other they resume their inner nature... Right !

Here, interesting point to notice is that, why did saints consider Sun as malefic?!!!

As far as we learned till this point, Sun is our Soul, he is Sattvic, he is a King with Masculine Fire, He leads us etc... All are ideal qualities to have... Then why is he considered as Malefic by the saints?

Perhaps, saints decided that there are very less humans with these Sun's royal qualities... Sun always try to boost the human beings with his qualities, but we never try to reach our souls through his influence and develop our own ego and accustom to raajastic and tamasic gunas instead of sattvic gunas... We already discussed these gunas...

And this is how planetary are described by the saints...
