FUNCTIONAL Benefic & Malefic

FUNCTIONAL B & M

What are functional malefic and Functional benefic planets?

Each ascendant in Vedic astrology has certain planets that although are benefic in nature, become malefic for that particular ascendant. This is why Jupiter and Moon conjunction may not always be good. Also, Rahu and Ketu are always acting as functional malefic for all ascendants.

I.e.

In Cancer ascendant, Jupiter... becomes a functional malefic planets along with Saturn, Rahu and Ketu. When Moon comes in conjunction with Jupiter in 6th, 8th or 12th house, it will have adverse results than good results since Jupiter rules the 6th house of disease for the native. I have seen cases where Jupiter and Moon conjunction was in the 12th house for Cancer ascendant causing mental illness while sitting in the Nakshatra of Rahu. Why? because Moon represents the mind while Jupiter is the lord of disease and in conjunction with the moon in Nakshatra of Rahu that itself represents illusion. These placement represents disease of the mind.

Below is the table of functional malefic planets for the ascendants.

ARIES- Mercury, Rahu, Ketu
TAURUS- Venus, Jupiter, Mars, Rahu, Ketu
GEMINI- Rahu, Ketu
CANCER- Jupiter, Saturn, Rahu, Ketu
LEO- Moon, Rahu, Ketu
VIRGO- Sun, Mars, Saturn, Rahu, Ketu
LIBRA- Mercury, Rahu, Ketu
SCORPIO- Mars, Venus, Rahu, Ketu
SAGITTARIUS- Moon, Rahu, Ketu
CAPRICORN- Sun, Jupiter, Rahu, Ketu
AQUARIUS- Moon, Mercury, Rahu, Ketu
PISCES- Sun, Venus, Rahu, Ketu

Anytime these planets come in contact with the other planets, they will only inflect malefic results of the house they rule.
i.e.
For Aries ascendant, anytime Mercury, Rahu or Ketu come in conjunction or in aspect to rest of the planets, they will infuse negative results of themselves to the other planet, especially Mercury, as it will show negative effect of the 3rd and 6th house.
