How to Judge This Graha in a Chart
A graha's general meaning is only the starting point; real results depend on sign, house, aspects, conjunctions, strength and Mahadasha.
- Check exaltation/debilitation and friendly or enemy signs.
- Judge house lordship from the Lagna.
- Use transit and dasha for timing.
When reading a graha page, first understand the natural significations, then judge the planet's functional role from the birth Lagna. The same planet can be a yogakaraka in one chart and a pressure point in another. The planet name alone is never the final good-or-bad verdict.
House, sign and aspect define the life area; dasha and transit define timing. If the planet is weak, choose remedies only after chart review. Mantra, daan, vrat, gemstone or ritual are not identical for every person, especially when the planet has a difficult functional role.
