Queries answered

Is Saturn in the 5th house for Thula Lagna good or bad? What are the implications for progeny and general welfare?

S. Krishnamurthy, Secunderabad.FOR Thula Lagna, Saturn is regarded as Yoga-Karaka. The 5th house, Kumbha, is owned by Saturn. However, in the 5th as a natural malefic, he may not be highly favourable. Progeny may be delayed. If Putra Karaka Jupiter is well placed and aspects the 5th house where Saturn is located there, that may help in getting a child. Maha Dasa's and Bhukthi's in operation will also play a role. If the 10th lord is powerful and combines with the 9th lord, that will be highly beneficial for getting a legal heir. For assessing general welfare, the placement of Lagnadhipathi Venus, and the aspects received by Lagna and Lagna lord will also have to be considered.
