Hello Ernst,
I'm going through the homework doc for Jaimini Sutras l. The piece that I'm confused on is when number of grahas and dignity strength trump each other. The answer to question 3 is:
"Mars is causing argali in 4th, but the argali is obstructed by Saturn in 10th. Saturn is stronger than mars on account of being exalted and there are as many planets in Libra as in Aries, so full obstruction is present."
The answer to question 4 is:
"Saturn in 4th from 7th is causing argala, this argala is blocked by Mars in the 10th from the 7th. While Saturn is stronger than Mars, there are not LESS planets in Aries and so the argali is blocked."
I'm not understanding why for 4 the same number of planets doesn't defer to Saturn's exaltation strength again. I hope this offers enough information for clarification.
Many thanks!

Its alwasy blocked if the number of planets are the same.

Thanks for that! My notes were confusing, so I couldn't tell if number of planets was the deciding factor or not. Jaimini is so fascinating. I love learning a new step and then walking it through the charts of all my people to absorb it.
