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.
- Benefic
- Naturally helpful planets: Jupiter, Venus, a waxing Moon, and Mercury when not 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).
- Navamsha (D9)
- The ninth-division chart. Each sign is split into nine parts of 3°20′; the Navamsha shows the deeper strength of each planet and is key for marriage.
