Hello @ernst and everyone,
I have a question about separating planets and their influence:
When a naturally separating planet like Saturn or the Sun also becomes the 12th lord towards a Rashi, does that double its separating effect? Or do these two indications merge into a single separating influence?
If such a Graha influences a cusp - and at the same time, a manifesting planet (with the same dignity) also Rashi-aspects that cusp - does the separation become stronger, or are the two influences equal in strength and cancel each other out?
Thanks in advance for any thoughts on this!

@ernst Thank you Ernst. I’d also assume that if the 12th lord is a manifesting planet like Jupiter, then Jupiter will manifest and also mildly separate? And maybe it separates and manifests at different times or at the same time?
I’ve been thinking about this too - when a Manifesting Planet also happens to be the 12th Lord, do we look at its dignity to determine whether the manifesting or separating influence is stronger?
If the planet is in its own sign (dignity 30/30), would that mean the influence is more balanced, then he become more manifesting when it's Dignity is above (EX,MT) and separating when it's below?
Would love to hear your thoughts on this!
@kaf I haven't thought about that, but that would make total sense to me! Great thinking.
Maybe if the planet is in good dignity, that thing that's manifested will feel more like a good thing to have or maybe it would just manifest more easily/seamlessly. Worse dignity is like, "ok I received this but it's mediocre" or maybe "I had to go through fire to get X."
Though maybe the way we feel about the things we receive is a totally different thing.
Let's see what Ernst has to say...
