The concept of lordship
Lordship refers to ownership of house, Lordship over Quadrants(1,4,7,10 ) changes the basic character of a planet. Benefic lords of quadrant produce unfavourable results while malefic becomes empowered with positive functional results.
Lordship over Trines(1,5,9) always empowers a planet with benefiecence whether or not the planet is a natural benefic or malefic.
Trinal lordship empowers malefic to produce good and benefic to produce even more good than they would have.
Eg: Whether Saturn ,Mars or Jupiter as a lord of a triangle house they would have positive functional results. Mars an aggressive malefic although if he would be the lord of good house a quadrant and a trin,will suggest power and wealth.
Lords of evil houses are ofcourse evil, Sun and Moon when lord of 8th house do not acquire evil .
Lord of 2nd and 12th are neutral. But in general 12th lord is not neutral.
Lord of Upachayas(3,6, 10,11) are progressively negative .
6th is dusthana, so such lordship is doubly evil .
10th is also a quadrant so the rules corresponding to malefic and benefic lordship over quadrant comes into play.
11th is evil lord but it gives beneficial result for what it’s worth.
12th is usually evil unless well associated. Benefic which owns quadrant also have negative functional result.
