Terms used on this page

House lord: The planet that rules the sign on a house. "Lord of the 9th" means the ruler of the sign falling in the 9th house.
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).
Rahu and Ketu: The Moon's north and south nodes. These shadow planets are always opposite each other and are treated as malefics.
Gulika and Mandi: Sensitive points calculated from Saturn's portion of the day or night; they behave like strong malefics.
