Whatever the ascendant is in the horoscope. Ascendant. The lords of the fifth and ninth houses are *karaka* planets. This means that these planets are in the central triangle, that is, 1, 4, 7, 10 and 1, 5, 9. The lords of these places become karaka planets. When the dasha, antar dasha, pratyantar dasha, pra pratyantar dasha, and prana dasha of these planets are present, they give good results to the horoscope.
Whatever the ascendant is in the horoscope, the lord of the second house from the ascendant and the lord of the seventh house are these two *maraka* planets. In the dasha, antar dasha, pratyantar dasha, and prana dasha of these lords, physical, mental, financial, social, and family problems will have to be faced.
There are three types of lagnas in every horoscope, which are called *movable, fixed, and dual nature lagnas.
Movable means *Aries, Cancer, Libra, and Capricorn* lagnas.
Fixed means *Taurus, Leo, Scorpio, and Aquarius* lagnas.
Dual-nature lagnas are *Gemini, Virgo, Sagittarius, and Pisces*. Based on these lagnas, which is the *badhaka* planet? Let’s find out.
In a mobile lagna, the eleventh house lord becomes *badhaka* from the lagna. In the dasha of this badhaka planet, there are problems in any work. In the dasha of this planet, it gives even more problems. Note that if the Libra ascendant is a malefic planet and the malefic planet is Mars, then if that planet is aspected by a malefic planet, the person will experience a lot of happiness.
If the person is born in a fixed ascendant, the *ninth* lord becomes a malefic.
If the ascendant is a dual sign, the seventh lord becomes a malefic. Here too, if the second lord of the Libra ascendant is malefic, the seventh lord becomes malefic; the person born in Mars will experience a lot of trouble.
If there is only one central trine lord from the ascendant, then that planet should be called a *yoga-causing* planet. For example, for a Taurus ascendant, the lord of Navamadhi, that is, Capricorn, and the lord of the tenth lord, Aquarius, becomes Shaneswar. In this yoga, in the dasha of Shaneswar, most good results are obtained.
When we look at the aspect of any planet, the planet with the highest aspect becomes *Atmakaraka*. For example: all planets have 30 degrees (aspects); whichever planet has the highest aspect in your horoscope becomes the Atmakaraka for you.
Also, which planet is *Prabhal Maraka*? Which planet is the lord of 2, 3, 6, 7, 8, 11, and 12? Which of these planets is the lord of two houses, but only one planet is the *Prabhal Maraka* planet? Most of the people experience this planet in its dasa.
