In astrology, what is the difference between benefic and malefic?
A benefic planet in your birth chart implies “good or positive influences,” while a malefic planet means “bad and negative influences” (or, as we prefer to say, challenging).
In Vedic astrology and Greek mythology, benefic and malefic planets play a larger role. Beneficials and malefics aren’t given as much weight in Western astrology, but they can help you better comprehend your birth chart and astrological transits.
In short, benefic planets have a positive influence, while malefic planets pose challenges.
Venus and Jupiter are benefic planets because of their beneficial and good effects. The two malefics are Mars and Saturn, whose influence can bring strong and shocking events that produce more stress than ease.
When a planet is malefic, what happens?
Mars, Saturn, Rahu, and Ketu are all considered malefic planets in astrology, but the Sun is a harsh planet. However, this does not imply that these planets will always bring bad luck. In this post, we’ll look at how these unlucky and malefic planets affect the native’s happiness. In the 3rd, 6th, 8th, and 12th houses of a kundali, a malefic planet brings good fortune.
The 3rd, 6th, 8th, and 12th houses are considered unlucky for Dasha Phal. As a result, malefic planets in these houses provide good fortune.
In astrology, which houses are malefic?
House VI, House VIII, and House XII, as well as House II, House III, and House XI, are considered malefic houses in Vedic Astrology and are referred to as ‘dusthana’.
When the Moon is malefic, what happens?
The Moon’s effect appears in the 16th, 51st, and 86th years of the native, while its first, second, and third cycles appear in the 24th, 49th, and 94th years of the native, respectively. Moon has allies in Jupiter, Sun, and Mars, but enemies in Saturn, Rahu, and Ketu. The Moon sacrifices her friendly planets, the Sun, Mars, and Jupiter, for her safety. The Lord of the 4th house, the Moon, is exalted in Taurus’ 2nd house and becomes weakened in Scorpio’s 8th house. Houses 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, and 9 are excellent for the Moon, whilst the 6th, 8th, 10th, 11th, and 12th houses are negative for the Moon. The death of a domestic milk animal or a horse, the drying up of a person’s well or pond, and the loss of touch and feeling sensations are all signals that the moon is turning malefic.
Mother’s debt is caused by Ketu’s placement in the 4th house. Pieces of silver of equal weight and size should be collected from each family member and thrown together into running water of a river in such a case. As a result, all negative consequences would be avoided.
Why is Mars a bad guy?
Mars is a fiery red planet that is also known as Kuja, which meaning “sprung from the soil.” It is Karaka for siblings and cousins and is male, masculine, and aggressive. It has power over bone marrow, haemoglobin, and the spinal cord. It governs real estate and agriculture, and it leads to careers in the military, law enforcement, sports, and allied industries.
When Mars is weak, debilitated, or combust, it becomes unlucky. If Mars is in the first, fourth, seventh, eighth, or twelfth house, it is malefic. Low physical power and an incapacity to initiate anything in life will result from a weak mars. It produces bad outcomes when planets transit in an unfavorable position in the birth chart and are impacted by other malefic planets. This can be addressed with appropriate medicines relating to these planets.
There are cures for a person’s well-being and longevity if he or his child is born in unfavourable Yogas such as Gandamoola, Gandant, or Abhuktmoola. The position and transit of planets in the birth chart have an impact on the events in our lives. For example, if a person works hard but does not advance in his career, he can expect positive outcomes by using the remedies of the Lord of the Eleventh House, Sun.
What is the malevolent Venus?

How to tell if Jupiter is a benefic or a malefic planet in an individual’s or a mundane horoscope chart
Jupiter rules your family, finances, religion and spiritual values, traditions, renown, gold, knowledge, wisdom, blood sugar levels, body fat, teacher, spiritual guru, and so on in Vedic Astrology.
Jupiter spends about a year in each sign, and a zodiac cycle takes about 12 years to complete.
It ‘appears’ to migrate backwards for roughly 4 months every year, and its retrogression begins and concludes when it is in trine with the Sun.
People born in the ascendants (lagna or rising sign) of Aries (Mesha), Cancer (Karka), Leo (Simha), Scorpio (Vrischik), Sagittarius (Dhanus), and Pisces are generally fortunate (Meena).
