Houses 1–4 (Malefics) · Houses 4–7 (Benefics)
Classical Reference01
Brihat Parashara Hora Shastra, Chapter 36, Sloka 37-38 (paraphrased):
When all malefic planets are placed in houses 1 to 7 and all benefic planets are placed in houses 4 to 10, the native becomes restrained, engaged in auspicious pursuits, consistent in nature, wealthy, charitable, and happy in the middle portion of life. This pattern is called Yava (Barley) Yoga.
Definition02
All malefic planets (Sun, Mars, Saturn, waning Moon, Rahu, Ketu) are placed in houses 1 to 7 (1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th, 6th, 7th) and all benefic planets (Jupiter, Venus, Mercury, waxing Moon) are placed in houses 4 to 10 (4th, 5th, 6th, 7th, 8th, 9th, 10th). There is overlap in houses 4,5,6,7 where both malefics and benefics may reside.
Understanding the Pattern03
✦All malefics in houses 1,2,3,4,5,6,7
✦All benefics in houses 4,5,6,7,8,9,10
✦Houses 4,5,6,7 may contain both malefics and benefics
✦Houses 1,2,3 contain only malefics (no benefics)
✦Houses 8,9,10 contain only benefics (no malefics)
Effects04
1Given to restraint (self-controlled, disciplined, temperate)
2Auspicious pursuits (engaged in righteous deeds, religious activities, good karma)
3Consistent in nature (stable, reliable, dependable, not fickle)
4Wealthy (rich, prosperous, materially well-off)
5Charitable (generous, donates to worthy causes, kind-hearted)
6Happy in the middle portion of his life (middle age is the best period)
