MOST MALEFIC PLANET
For every rising sign, there is a most malefic planet that is considered to be the most damaging in the birth chart. This is based on mooltrikona signs in the 8th or 12th house. The eighth house is the first to be considered as it is determined to be the most malefic house. There must be a mooltrikona sign in the house and if there is not, then the twelfth house is considered to be the most malefic house. The planet that rules these houses becomes the most malefic planet whether it be Jupiter which is usually considered positive and benefic, or Saturn who is known to be malefic.

If there is no mooltrikona sign in the eighth or twelfth house, then Ketu becomes the most malefic planet in the chart. If there are three mooltrikona signs in the sixth, eighth and twelfth house, then the planets ruling these signs become malefic planets as well as Rahu and Ketu. The ruler of the eighth house inherits the role of the most malefic planet in the chart. The other malefic planets will bring difficulties and do harm other houses and planets, but the most malefic planet is the planet that will cause extreme damage.

Note: Rahu and Ketu are always malefic to each of the twelve ascendants.
