Daridra Yoga (Part 5): Impact of Malefics in Kendras & Benefics in Dusthanas: 3 Strong Effects
March 17, 2025 Table of Contents
Introduction
In Vedic astrology, the placement of planets in Kendra (1st, 4th, 7th, 10th houses) and Dusthana (6th, 8th, 12th houses) plays a crucial role in determining financial stability, career success, and overall prosperity.
- Kendra houses are the pillars of success, power, and wealth. When strong, they bring stability, good fortune, and material growth.
- Dusthana houses (6th, 8th, 12th) represent challenges, debts, obstacles, and losses.
- When malefic planets (Saturn, Mars, Rahu, Ketu) occupy Kendras and benefic planets (Jupiter, Venus, Mercury) are placed in Dusthanas, it creates Daridra Yoga and leads to:
✔ Weakened financial status and career instability.
✔ Failure to utilize good opportunities.
✔ Constant struggles despite hard work.
How Malefics in Kendras & Benefics in Dusthanas Create Daridra Yoga
1. Malefics in Kendras (1st, 4th, 7th, 10th House)
✔ Kendras are meant to hold strong, benefic planets.
✔ When malefic planets (Saturn, Mars, Rahu, Ketu) occupy these houses, they create obstacles, setbacks, and struggles.

🔹 Effects:
- Hard work does not bring expected results.

2. Benefic Planets in Dusthana Houses (6th, 8th, 12th House)
✔ Benefic planets like Jupiter, Venus, and Mercury should be placed in strong houses to bring prosperity.
