Further Qs: Strength of planets

[Guest guest]

Dear Vyasji,

 

Namasthe.Thanks for this very useful SA Table of Strengths.Here are a few Qs however:

 

Q1: What does SLH/L mean and DH mean?

 

Q2: As placement in a malefic H["bad-placement"]reduces the strength of a badly-placed planet only to the extent of 50%, does it mean then that all afflicted planets, when "otherwise strong" are only 50% weakened? [i ask this Q, as the Professor has said that bad-placement is itself tantamount to an affliction.]

 

Q3: The degree of weakenning must depend on the severity of the affliction, the planet suffers. For example, what would be the difference in the degree of weakness, when a planet is afflicted by just one FM, as against, when it is afflicted by the MMP[or by both Nodes, for that matter]?

 

Q4: Sometimes in Professor's books, I have come across afflictions of very grievous kinds-such as afflictions by three or four FMs.What would be the % loss of strength[degree of weakness], in such cases of severe multiple afflictions?

 

I am also left wondering what 's final verdict on these Qs will be?

 

Best regards
