10. A Bhava gets advancement, if it is occupied, or aspected by the Lord, or a benefic. The Bhava, which is occupied, or aspected by a malefic, is harmed.

11-13. The effects of a Bhava will be in accordance with the Grah occupying it, or in accordance with the Grah aspected, if no Grah is in occupation of the Bhava. The effects of a Bhava, occupied by a benefic, will be auspicious and the Bhava, occupied by a malefic, will be inauspicious. Effects of the aspects will be the same. If a Bhava is influenced both by benefics and malefics, the results will depend on the majority amongst the benefics and malefics. If the number of benefics is larger than the number of malefics, the results will be auspicious. If reverse is the case, inauspicious, or evil effects may be expected. If there are equal number of malefics and benefics, those with greater strength will influence the results of that Bhava. Mixed results should be declared, if there be no difference in the strength of malefics and benefics. The same would apply to aspects.

14. The effects should be declared, according to its Lord, if the Bhava is neither occupied, nor aspected by a Grah.

15-16. A natural benefic loses his benevolence, if he is in more malefic Vargas. Similarly a natural malefic loses his malevolence, if he is in more benefic Vargas (SaptaVarg). A Grah’s own Rasi, his exaltation Rasi and benefic Vargas are considered auspicious. And malefic and the Vargas of an enemy and debilitated Rasi are considered inauspicious.
