The Vault of the Heavens book says:
Benefics aspecting lend strength, malefics reduce strength. One quarter of malefic aspect is deducted and ¼ of benefic aspect is added, except for Mercury and Jupiter of which the full aspect is added.
Q: From what should the one quarter of malefic aspect be deducted? BPHS (s. 19) says from the total aspectual strength. But where is the total aspectual strength calculated?

@ernst, BPHS says it should be deducted from the total aspectual strength. The shadbala score total is not the total aspectual strength.
So I think the 1/4 malefic should be deducted from the total aspectual strength, wherever it is calculated.
