Note that the above post on Ketu (two posts before this) applies only when Ketu is not conjuncting any planet. If Ketu is conjuncting a planet and that planet is strong or weak depending on the placement by sign, then Ketu would be strong or weak accordingly (this was described in a past post by Shilpa).

MYTH OR FACT : Trines are acknowledged as having a great effect regardless of the planet concerned by only a few classics (I think it is Phaladeepika and also BHS is not one of them).
From the feedback of practising astrologers, it is deemed to betrue. This gives Jupiter's trine a very powerful influence as a corollary.

MYTH OR FACT : Ketu is Dig Bala in the 10th and Rahu in the 7th.
ANSWER
----------
True. Ketu has to do with Karma more than Dharma, even though its dharma element is strong. Hence its digbala is in the 10th.
Rahu likes high society living so its Digbala is in the 7th.
KLet's look at my Navamsa.
Four planets in its own sign. 3 in friendly signs butthe dispositor is strong being in its own sign.
Ketu is in Dig Bala and also in Kendra and even though it is in its fall sign in Taurus, it is in Mrghra ruled by Mars and nodes have more affilitation with the constellations when they are alone in a house. So Ketu is strong.
Rahu conjuncting Mars in its own sign is alsostrong in that respect whcih overrrides any other factors on Nakshatra.

I'd like to add something here from my own experience. You said to make a mark on this planet functional benefics have to situated in the kendra houses, I find that alone won't do the trick. The trinal lords must be influenced by kendra lords either by conjunction or strong aspects in the kendra houses. Also 10th house represents honour and position, which means the karaka (sun, mercury, Saturn ) of the 10th house must have some connection with the trinal lords in the kendra houses, this applies even in the divisional charts.
As of Dec 2015 I am no longer active on this forum. If you have any questions related to my topics you can contact me via email by clicking on my username. I very much enjoyed contributing on this forum.

Point taken (you make a valid observation)
but let me a give real life example WITHOUT the need of the functional benefics conjuncting any other planet (trinal or kendra or whatever).
Fnctional benefics each alone in kendras can do the trick provided :
(1) More than one is happening like that which means the two functional benefics are in mutual kendras.
(2) The said functional benefics in (1) are all strong but virtue of :
(a) Vargottama (same position in divisional chart and the navamsa for that divisional chart)
(b) Retrogading both in the natal position in the said divisional chart and in the tulya position from the Navamsa of that divisional chart onto that said divisional chart in the houyse ONE AFTER THE KENDRA which means the kendra is doubly emphasised just like (A).
(c) In its own sign.
(d) Their divisional chart tulya navamsa position is also in kendra but instead of Vargottama is in another kendra.
So (a) to (d) means ALL FOUR KENDRAS are covered which is another Raja Yoga.
(e) The planets involved in (a) t0 (d) are all friendly to one another.
(f) Use a stronger divisional chart like D-108 the chart of final outcomes.
(g) The correct dasa periods are operating - taken from Lagna and from the Moon.
(h) Remember to use the Progressed Divisional Chart ie. take the 5th house as an Ascendant.
(i) Preferably at least one natural benefic should be involved in the above pattern.
This is exactly what happend when Meryl Streep won the award for Iron Lady and got a standing ovation from everrybody.
Look at her Progressed D-108 with Socrpio Ascendant.
Moon in 4th is Vargottam, Jupiter in 7th doubly emphasised because the tulya position of Jupiter in the 8th and retrogading also means Jupiter again has his finger on the 7th again, Ketu in Scorpio in its own sign and Ketu also in the 10th through the tulya postion.
Moon, Ketu and Jupiter are firnedly to one another.
Jupiter is the required natural benefic.
Rahu also with Jupiter.
Moon, Jupiter and Ketu are functional benefics for the Scorpio Ascendant.
The dasa periods of the Moon, Jupiter, Rahu are operating taken from the Moon and Lagna.
Her dasa peiods of Venus and Saturn, Ascendant Lord and Yogakaraka for the D-108 respectively (not the progressed chart) are also operating.
She is simply the queen in hollywood. No doubt about it!!!

Venus and Saturn also happen to be the dispositor for the Moon and Jupiter in the Progressed D-18 (or D-108 also but I want to emphasise how Venus and Saturn also partake in the Raja Yoga in the Progressed D-108).

MYTH OR FACT : Nobody has written anything on D-144. Now 144 = 12 x 12 means this chart shows the highest spiritual potential of the person (12 cycles through the 12th Moksha House).
Now Saravelli also says that when Jupiter is in Taurus and trines the Moon, the person is famous and rules the entire world. I have this configuration in my D-144 chart.
To confirm, look at my D8, a chart dealing with spiritual breakthrough.
Jupiter is also in Taurus and opposing the Moon (Jupiter's opposition aspects are only 50% in strength BUT planets in mutual kendras have a strong affinity).
My D-40, a chart dealing with your niches (fortunes you go into), also has this configuration ie. Jupiter in Taurus opposing the Moon.
ANSWER
----------
Should be true but asking one of the astrologers to do a write-up article on D-144.

MYTH OR FACT : What is the difference between :
(1) D-11 and D-108
D-108 is the long run future. But D-11 shows thegains you can get everrytime a dasha of the planet starts and the gains pertain to how the planet is situated in the D-11. As such the D-11 has special significance in the yearly chart package.
(2) Which D-11 to use ie. the one by Sanjay Rath which is Rudramsa or the one by Dr. Raman which is Ekadasamsa?
Rudramsa can show gains clearly but Ekadasamsa has other uses as well (besides also showing gains) like evils to the native and electional astroligical predictions.

MYTH OR FACT : Although there are many kinds of planetary wars and classics are strewn with phrases how to judge a victor in a planetary war, use the one by Parasara :
9. There is planetary war, if Mangal, Budh, Guru, Śukr and Śani are together (within one degree of each other), Śukr is the conquerer, whether he is in North, or South, but amongst the other four only one, who is in the North, is the conquerer and that in the South is considered defeated in the planetary war.
Parasara uses the delcination of the planet when talking about the planetary positions for judging a planetary war. The word is Krantis.

MYTH OR FACT :
Kundalini awakening is through the 7th house but spiritual breakthrough is through the 8th house.
But of course Kundalini awakening needs the support of a spiritual breakthrough and hence 8th is the 2nd to the 7th.

MYTH OR FACT : Nadi texts abound with Yogas of their own. Like this one call a Moksha Yoga.
If Jupiter or Venus is in an angle or a trine, attaining the 12th sign counted from navamsa ascendant, the subject will be relieved of mundane bonds, i.e. will attain moksha.
I have this Yoga. Venus is in an angle and 12th from my Navamsa Lagna sign which is Leo ie. Venus is in Cancer in the 1st house in the Rasi Chart.

MYTH OR FACT : This is another Yoga from Nadi Texts.
The lords of the 9th and 10th counted from 9th should join in a sign which is own or exaltation sign for one of them. The ascendant lord being in strength should be aspected by a benefic planet. As a result, the subject will be kingly and will enjoy the status due to an emperor. He will be endowed with many gems, riches, grains, gold and be a lord of wealth.
This means that the lords of the 5th or the 6th should be in its own or exaltation signs (only one of them is needed). Plus the lagna lord should be strong and aspected by a benefic.
I clearly have this Yoga in my Progressed D-60 (taking 5th house ast the Ascendant).
My 5th lord and 6th lord, Mars and Jupiter respectively, join together in Aires with Mars in its own sign.
My Lagna Lord Moon exchanges with the Sun the 2nd lord, and Moon itself is aspected by Jupiter in the 10th.
Lord of wealth, like Kubera.

MYTH OR FACT : This is a Parijata Yoga, the Nadi version.
a) The navamsa depositor of the 9th lord should be in an immovable navamsa.
b) The depositor of the 9th lord should be in exaltation.
c) The depositor of the depositor of the 9th lord should be in angle w.r.t Moon, Venus and ascendant.
The native will be a king. Knowledgeable in the branch of Justice, be honored by kings, skillful in archery and astrology. A repository of mercy, modest, endowed with virtuous sons and wealth and be charming as the moon. Further his fame will start spreading in the world from the 20th Year. Prosperity will knock his door from the 27th Year.

MYTH OR FACT : This Raja Yoga deals with exaltation status in Dusthana Houses (not the usual Parasara Yoga in BPHS dealing with Dusthanas including Parasara exceptions or Vipareet Raja Yoga in Saravelli) and neither the quite well know Raja Yoga when ALL planets are in Dusthanas.
Rudrasana Yoga: If the 6th, 8th and 12th from lagan simultaneously contains planets in exaltation, this yoga is formed. The native will simply be the ruler of the earth.

MYTH OR FACT : Another Yoga from Nadi texts.
Venus aspecting or joining the Arudh of lagan, 9th and 12th houses causes Raja yoga. Such a native will become a king or equal to him. He will be valorous and will be fond of drama, musical instruments, singing and poetry. He will be fond of Scents, garlands and robes.

True
My Venus conjuncts AL and aspects A9. As for A12 (UL), Mars with AL aspects Venus so I am not sure whether it qualifies. But I do have the characteristics mentioned in this Yoga.

MYTH OR FACT : I have the following Yoga which is from Nadi texts. It is in my D7.
Even a 100 adverse Yogas will become ineffective if Venus is placed in 11th house while Jupiter is in the 2nd house. In addition, the native will become wealthy, famous by serving a king and in the 3rd dasha particularly 2nd half, will acquire huge firm wealth, great honors and prosperous calling.
D7 is your action to the world and it is the most appropriate divisional chart to have this Yoga.

Amended this post (six posts from this current post) on the statement on which is the common Yoga dealing with Dusthanas which is supposed to be Royal.
The requirement is that ALL planets should be in Dusthanas without any additional requirement of whether they should beintheir own signs or in their exalted states. The one introduced by Nadi texts is that the planets must be in their exalted states as mentioned in that post.

We have already established that Moon has affinity with the nodes, and not so the Sun.
In addition, because of Moon's close affinity with Rahu, Moon+Rahu goes by the name of Shakti Yoga.
Sun with Ketu also gives rise to another Yoga, I think it is Shiva Yoga.
Note also any good effects arising from the lights with the nodes must be on the condition they must not be eclipsed ie. the node degree must be less than the light (Sun or Moon).

Additonal conditions on the good effects resulting from the combination of the nodes with the lights :
(1) Should be in theappropriate house.
(2) Have beneficial aspects rather than malefic aspects.
(3) The lights must be well placed by signs (as discussed in Shilpa's post).

Say i have moon with 13 degree pieces, conjuct rahu 29 degree.. Rahu degree> moon degree... But at the same time rahu having highest degree in my chart is the darakarka..
Will this yoga give good effects of shakti yoga along with the said grahan yoga.
So in which way do we interprete this.. Does degree of rahu n ketu always obtained after subtracting from the actual one?

Hi Sweenym
The Yoga on the whole is quite good.
The orb is quite wide and Moon is well placed Pisces and 11th. So is Rahu.
Rahu is also conjuncting the 3rd lord since Moon rules the 3rd here, which is another angle that shows the Yoga to be quite good since Rahu has affinity with the 3rd (and so does the Moon in fact although it is a functional malefic).
Moon should also be bright by the way.
Also according to Saravelli, full Moon in Pisces aspected by a benefic, gives native the status of an emperor.
