Key Takeaways

Jupiter in the 1st is the single most favourable placement — magnetic personality, long life, many children, political success
This confirms Part 14's principle. Jupiter in the 1st is mentioned by Raman as "the best gift in a horoscope."
The 6th, 8th, and 12th houses consistently produce the worst results for any planet
Even benefics like Jupiter become "obscure, unlucky, troubled" in the 6th or "unhappy, degraded" in the 8th.
Mars in the 10th is universally excellent — founder of institutions, self-made, wealthy, famous
This is true for all ascendants. Mars is the planet of action, and the 10th is the house of action.
Saturn in the 11th is one of Saturn's best placements — very wealthy, political success, influential
The 11th house rewards Saturn's patient, persistent nature with delayed but substantial gains.
Results manifest during the DASA of the relevant planet — always combine this table with Dasa timing
Saturn in the 11th gives wealth and influence — but specifically during Saturn's Dasa/Bhukti periods.

In Part 20, we complete the reference tables with Planets in All 12 Signs — what happens when each planet occupies each zodiacal sign, adding another layer of specificity to your chart interpretation.
