Hi Ernst
Deeptadi avasthas has "impaired" avasthas when planet joined with malefics. Why they don't have one good avastha if planet joined by benefics?
Thank you
because life sucks?
Or most likely because a benefic can be a natural enemy, so it's not always so great. More importantly, anytime we get planets in the same rasi they become temp malefics. A malefic always makes something have a hardship which is the impairment they are workign against.
But I see your point, it does seem like we SHOULD get a deeptaadi avastha for joioned with a benefic. However, while some of the texts that give some different deeptaadi avasthas, they don't give one for joining a benefic. some do not give one for joining a malefic either though they sometives give one for retrogression which is shakti, powerful.
