Malefic planet

|
In astrology, a malefic planet, or simply malefic, is a planet thought to bring bad luck and misfortune to those born within its radius. Traditionally, Mars and Saturn are considered the malefic planets, with Mars being the lesser malefic and Saturn the greater. They are opposed to the benefic planets such as Jupiter and Venus, which are said to grant good fortune by contrast. In modern astrology Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto are sometimes also considered malefic, especially when in difficult aspect to a personal planet, however, they are still under consideration. A planet that is placed between two malefic planets, traditionally Mars and Saturn, is said to be "besieged." Hindu astrology also gives a similar definition to a planet between two malefic planets. |
