Good and Not-So-Good Rashi Environments for each Graha

Rashi (zodiacal sign)	Rashi Pati	Graha which see This Lord as a Friend Friendly Environment for:	Positive Effects	Graha which see This Lord as a Enemy Hostile Environment for:	Negative Effects
Mesha = Aries	Mangala	Surya, Guru, Ketu	Surya's independent, confident behaviors flourish in uchcha Mesha; Guru's expansive, inclusive wisdom burns brightly, and even separative Ketu enjoys Mesha's sharp, clean cut	Shani, Rahu	Shani's regulatory, resistant behaviors are disrupted in neechcha Mesha; while Rahu's sneaky risk-taking = too fast and too aggressive to escape detection
Vrishabha = Taurus	Shukra	Budha, Shani, Rahu, Ketu	Vrishabha promotes the Treasury and sensual pleasures. Budha's pleasant conversation, Shani's orderliness. uchcha Rahu's lust for wealth, and even Ketu's unbounded intake all flourish in this indulgent setting.	Surya, Guru	Surya's divine faith limits golden truth to the shape of golden coins; Guru's wisdom-preaching channels into false cults of material wealth and visual beauty.
Mithunya = Gemini	Budha	Chandra, Shukra, Shani, Rahu	Mithuna promotes every type of information exchange, from bookkeeping accounts to sexual encounters. Chandra's emotional needs can be satisfied by a steady flow of information. Shukra's develops relationship curiosity, while Shani enforces an order upon the tale-telling but does not stop the story. Rahu the Poseur thrives on new information and uses it to propel Himself to an illegitimately higher station in life.	Kuja, Guru	Kuja converts conversation + media communications into weaponry. the native speaks sharply and gossip can become an issue. Priestly Guru's wisdom produces a trivial, mentalized understanding of life.
Karkata = Cancer	Chandra	Surya, Kuja, Guru	Surya's paternalistic behaviors flourish Karkata home + homeland; uchcha Guru's compassionate wisdom does its caring best in Karka. Although Chandra's quest for security does pair well with Kuja's wealth-pursuing powers in the Chandra-Mangala yoga, neechcha Mangala = a covert, guilt-pandering, underwater explosion, and may sexualize (Kuja) the parenting (Soma).	Budha, Shukra, Shani, Rahu, Ketu	Budha, Shukra, Shani, Rahu and Ketu are all incapacitated in the emotionally oversensitive, security-focused environments of the Moon. All to some extent suffer from Chandra's emotional bondage, and slip into manipulative behaviors including guilt-mongering, according to their own tools.
Simha = Leo	Surya	Chandra, Kuja, Guru	Kuja and Guru are exceptionally strong in Simha, where they promote a regal quality of divine confidence, faith, and ideals. Chandra in Simha is less maternal but it benefits the woman who must be both mother + father, or mother + business executive, or mother + king.	Shukra	Harmonious human partnership becomes nigh on impossible for Shukra to accomplish in self-centered, idealistic Simha
Kanya = Virgo	Budha	Chandra, Shukra, Shani, Rahu	Kanya's logical arguments dissolve agreements but the methods of Chandra (emotional bond) Shani (public law) and Rahu (surprise) are not harmed by petty disputes. Although Shukra's relationship behaviors benefit from Budha's communicative skills, chronic disputes do harm the neechcha Shukra, which does much better in conversational Mithuna than in prescriptive, argumentative Kanya.	Kuja, Guru	Mangala uses logic as a weapon, so that critical bickering becomes a behavioral issue. Guru's religious wisdom deteriorates into petty argument and catechism.
Thula = Libra	Shukra	Budha, Shani, Rahu, Ketu	Thula promotes agreement and balance, therefore Budha's bargaining skills and uchcha Shani's scheme of social rewards + punishments flourish here.	Surya, Guru	Surya's independent, divine-centered behaviors are channeled into human partner-pleasures in neechcha Thula; Guru's religious wisdom similarly descends into sense pleasures and material wealth.
Vrischika = Scorpio	Mangala	Surya, Guru, Ketu	Vrischika encourages penetration and discovery. Therefore Surya's independent, confident willpower and Guru's expansive, fearless wisdom burns brightly in the sign of mystery, while fearless Ketu enjoys a Vrischika plunge into the unknown .	Shani, Rahu	Shani's conformist regulating behaviors are upset by instinctive competitive Kuja while Rahu's sneaky risk-taking = too fast
Dhanushya = Sagittarius	Guru	Surya, Kuja	Dhanushya's environment promotes ceremonial religion and philosophical preaching. Naturally, Surya's confidence in divine truth and Kuja's vigorous pursuit of the prize do well in this setting.	None	All graha can express their portfolio actions adequately in Dhanushya.
Makara = Capricorn	Shani	Shukra, Rahu, Ketu		Surya	Surya's confident, independent, self-constrained in the law-and-order hierarchy
Kumbha = Aquarius	Shani	Shukra, Rahu, Ketu		Surya	Surya's creatively independent, self-centric behaviors are severely constrained in complex, regulated systems
Meena = Pisces	Guru	Surya, Kuja		None	All graha can express their portfolio actions adequately in Dhanushya.

Why the animosities between neutrals and benefics?

Guru vs. Budha

• Budha is discriminating. Budha's overarching purpose is to stimulate more and more exquisitely detailed mental discrimination in the thinking human.

• Guru is non-discriminating. Guru is fundamentally opposed to mental discrimination. Guru teaches the highest dharma, at which level of perception there is no role for mental discrimination! At the level of Brihaspati's teaching, the dharma includes all, embraces all, honors all, understands all.

• It is important to appreciate that Kumara is The younger one. It is necessary for the native to complete Budha's tutorial along the spiritual path before one can be in a position to apprehend the massively awesome dharma of Brihaspati.

• Nevertheless, the philosophical teaching program of the Great Sage is permanently at loggerheads with the mental training program of the Quick Minded Adolescent.

• Rather ironically, at the higher levels of consciousness, one must "unlearn" some of the values of the lower education. For example, it becomes necessary to surrender attachment to the distinction between human "right" and "wrong". But this surrender should occur only AFTER the distinction has been acquired so that the native can apply the discrimination skill in human society as needed to protect those with lower consciousness.

• Naturally, Budha enters the neechcha state in Guru's rashi of Meena. Interestingly, a neechcha-bhanga parivartamsha Budha - extremely non-discriminating or childlike thinking projected to a high level of clairsentient awareness (Meena)- may be found in the nativities of some great teaching mystics such as Albert Einstein.
