If one of the two planets owning the eighth or the twelfth house also owns the lagna, he is beneficial. Guru 248 i i Uttara Kalamrita and Shukra owning kendras are not beneficial. If they are posited in maraka houses (second or seventh from lagna), they put an end to the life during their major periods. If Budha is posited in the same way, he gives similar results. If the Sun or the Moon own the eighth house, they wilt not prove marakas (significators of death). When Kuja owns the fourth and the ninth houses (for those born in Simha lagna), or if he owns the fifth and the tenth houses (for those born in Karkataka lagna), he is very auspicious. But he is not so if he owns only one of the two houses. This applies to those born in Dhanush, Makara, and Kumbha lagnas.
