Aspecting

These are known as outer planets as they are very far from Sun. Even though rest of the planets aspect these outer planets they can not dictate these. Always the outer planets dictate the rest of the planets.

Mars 4 Houses Forward 8 Houses Forward 7th Always Delivers harmful results.

Saturn 4 Houses Backward

3 Houses Forward 7th Always Delivers harmful results.

Jupiter 5th House 9th House Always Delivers good results.

However, During Dasha Bhukti if Saturn is connected with the good planets, it is more benevolent than Jupiter and If Jupiter is connected with bad planets, if is more harmful than Saturn.

L1 Planets placed in the stars of occupant of the house.

L2 Planets Occupying the house.

L3 Planets placed in the Stars of the House Owner.

L4 Planet being the Owner of the house.
