Terms used on this page

Kendra
The angular houses: 1st, 4th, 7th and 10th. Planets here are considered prominent and able to act strongly.
Trikona
The trinal houses (1st, 5th and 9th), associated with fortune, merit and intelligence.
Malefic
Naturally harsh planets: Sun, Mars, Saturn, Rahu, Ketu, a waning Moon, and Mercury joined by malefics.
Conjunction
Two or more planets in the same sign (and so the same house).
Rahu and Ketu
The Moon's north and south nodes. These shadow planets are always opposite each other and are treated as malefics.
