Undesirable houses

[Guest guest]

In the 5th Krishnamurti Reader 'Transit' on page 135 (8th

edition) the question is posed:

 

" now one may ask which are undesirable houses to a person? "

 

and under para (b) it states:

 

" Lord of 2nd house will prove to be a benefic to the matter

signified by the 2nd house, if it does not occupy the

constellation and sub of the significator of the houses 6,8 and

12 counted FROM THE LAGNA (my emphasis). Similarly, for each

house we have to note whether the significator of the house , is

posited in the constellation and sub of the significator of the

houses 6,8 and 12 counted FROM THAT PARTICULAR SIGN. If any

planet is so posited or if it is conjoined with the lords of such

houses, the planet offers adverse results by lordship. "

 

Here we see two different starting points quoted. Is this

correct? If not is it the Lagna or the particular sign that is

the starting point?

 

Another point regarding undesirable houses. I realize that

planets can have both desirable and undesirable effects.

However, there is reference in 'Handbook on Astrology Part 1

pages 76/77' to desirable houses being 1,2,3,6,10 and 11, and

undesirable being 4,5,7,8,9 and 12. Does this mean that we

should take rasi ownership to classify sub lords as benefic for

the desirable houses and malefic for the undesirable houses?

Also if a planet rules both a desirable and undesirable house

are there any rules as to which is dominant ie. moolotrikona

etc.?

 

One final unrelated question - can someone please tell me the

maxim orb of contact for Rahu and Ketu to another planet, for

them to act on behalf of that planet.

 

Thanks
