Budh is strong in Lagn, if in Makar, Simh, or Kark. He is also strong in his own divisions. Should Dhanu hold Budh in Bandhu Bhava, then too he is strong. Similarly in Vrishabh, as Yuvati Bhava, or in Meen, as Karm Bhava.

Notes: Should Makar be Lagn and be occupied by Budh, his blemish of Aris lordship is mitigated and simi]arly Vyayas lordship, if in Kark Lagn. For Mithun Lagn, though he will be fall in Karm Bhava, he will prove auspicious.

Guru has strength in Simh, Vrishabh, Mesh, Dhanu, Vrischik and Meen, if one of these happens to be Lagn, or Bandhu, or Karm Bhava of the horoscope. Otherwise he is weak.

Notes: Guru rules Randhr Bhava for Vrishabh Lagn. Hence, he is adverse for longevity, if he is in Vrishabh, when it rises in the horoscope. In such circumstances, Sani should be strong lest the native is short lived. Or otherwise, Sukr should be stronger than Guru.

Dr. B.V. Raman, a powerful Jyotishi has Guru in Karm Bhava in Vrischik.

Sukr possesses strength in Simh, Mesh. Kumbh and Vrischik, if these happen to be Lagn; similarly in Yuvati Bhava, if at the end of Dhanu, or in (the whole of) Vrischik. He is strong in the first half of Dhanu in Karm Bhava. Karm Bhava position in Meen, Simh, or Vrischik is also good. He is strong also in Bandhu Bhava in the second half of Makar. He is strong, if he wins in a war between Grahas.
