Benefics in 3 Kendras · No Malefics in Kendra

Classical Reference

Brihat Parashara Hora Shastra, Chapter 36, Sloka 19-20 (paraphrased):

When all benefic planets (Jupiter, Venus, Mercury, and the bright Moon) occupy three Kendras (1st, 4th, 7th, 10th houses) and no malefic planet occupies any Kendra, the native enjoys constant pleasures, good food and clothing, comfortable vehicles, and association with attractive persons of the opposite sex.

Definition

All benefic planets (Jupiter, Venus, Mercury, waxing Moon) are placed in three Kendras (1st, 4th, 7th, 10th houses) and no malefic planet (Sun, Mars, Saturn, waning Moon, Rahu, Ketu) is placed in any Kendra.

Understanding the Pattern

✦All benefics (Jupiter, Venus, Mercury, strong Moon) in 3 out of 4 Kendras

✦No malefic (Sun, Mars, Saturn, weak Moon, Rahu, Ketu) in any Kendra

✦The 3 Kendras can be any combination (e.g. 1,4,7 or 4,7,10 or 1,7,10, etc.)

✦The 4th Kendra may be empty or have no planet

Effects

1Constant enjoyments (continuous happiness and pleasures)

2Vehicles (conveyance cars, bikes, comfortable travel)

3Good food (wholesome, delicious, nutritious meals)

4Good clothes (fine apparel, comfort in dressing)

Important Notes

✦This is a highly auspicious yoga for material pleasures and relationships- "Three Kendras" means exactly 3 Kendras have benefics not necessarily all 4

✦The 4th Kendra must have no malefic, but may have a benefic or be empty- "Attractive persons of opposite sex" includes: spouse, partners, close friends, or admirers

✦If Moon is waning (Krishna Paksha), it is considered malefic and should not be in Kendra

✦Rahu and Ketu are always malefic they must stay away from Kendras
