The life of every individual is governed by the rising ascendant at the time of birth and placement of planets in the nativity. There are 12 ascendants in Indian Vedic astrology which take part in the formation of a Birth Chart / Horoscope and they vary in individual charts according to the time, place and date of birth. The malefic & benefic, debilitation & exaltation,
yogkarka and signification of different planets depend on the rising ascendant and on their placements in different houses which is governed by the transitional values of each and every planet.
The weakness and strength of planets (except Rahu & Ketu which are natural malefics in all cases) depend basically on their placements in different houses and also depend on the good or bad aspects and conjunctions they get from different planets. The planets shower their good or bad results in their respective periods which is calculated by the planet Moon irrespective of its nature in a particular horoscope and transit influence on the nativity.
