Terms used on this page

Lagna (Ascendant)
The zodiac sign rising on the eastern horizon at the moment of birth. It becomes the 1st house, and every other house is counted from it.
Kendra
The angular houses: 1st, 4th, 7th and 10th. Planets here are considered prominent and able to act strongly.
Dusthana / Trik houses
The 6th, 8th and 12th houses, linked with obstacles, loss and hidden matters.
Benefic
Naturally helpful planets: Jupiter, Venus, a waxing Moon, and Mercury when not joined by malefics.
Malefic
Naturally harsh planets: Sun, Mars, Saturn, Rahu, Ketu, a waning Moon, and Mercury joined by malefics.
Aspect (Drishti)
A planet's glance on another house. Every planet aspects the 7th house from itself; Mars also the 4th and 8th, Jupiter the 5th and 9th, Saturn the 3rd and 10th.
Conjunction
Two or more planets in the same sign (and so the same house).
Retrograde
A planet that appears to move backwards from Earth. Classical texts often treat it as strong.
