12.6 Planetary Results

12.6.1 Combust/ Set Directions: The sign in which the Sun is placed at any given time, makes the other two signs near it as combust/ set. For example Taurus, Gemini & Cancer signs are given in the East, so when Sun is in these signs from 15^th May to 15^th August, all the three signs, Nakshtras, vowels, letters, Tithis and days are said to be set for three months i.e. the length of time the Sun takes to pass over these three signs. A native should not travel in a combust direction during this period. When a Nakshtra, sign, letter, vowel or Tithi is combust, it causes disease, obstacles/ sorrow, losses, confusion, or fear respectively. If all five are set, then death is certain. Same applies for other directions. When a Nakshtra, sign, letter, vowel, Tithi or all five comes out of combustion, there is growth, victory/ success, gain, happiness, glory and all-round prosperity/ increase in fame & status respectively.

12.6.2 Strength of Transiting Planets: The planetary strength is normally taken in terms of Viswa bal. During retrogression, the strength is doubled, during exaltation it is trebled, during debility it is halved, but during fast motion, it remains the same. The quantum of results by planets placed in different houses are as under:

Table No. 38: Quantum of Planetary Results

Type of House	Benefic Planet	Malefic Plant
Own	100%	25%
Friend’s	75%	50%
Neutral	50%	75%
Inimical	25%	100%

12.6.3 Aspects on Nakshtra: All planets aspect the 15^th Nakshtra from their own location. In bright half (Shukla Paksh), a benefic Nakshtra aspects the next Nakshtra, while in dark half (Krishna Paksh), it aspects the previous Nakshtra. A malefic Nakshtra does it inversely i.e. it aspects previous Nakshtra in bright half and the next Nakshtra in dark half. Similarly the planet influences fully in bright half and at half level in dark half. In addition, the planets also aspect Nakshtra from their own location as follows:
