Hello Ernst
I was trying to decipher the influence of planetary aspects on Rahu in person's chart by looking at the aspects table (It is attached). Then I incurred two doubts
1 In the total of + and - aspects, sum of + aspects is found to be 124 (for Rahu) and that of - aspects is 149. The positive aspects used for summation might be of Venus, Mercury and Moon (56+36+32 = 124). Is it possible to consider 11th lord Moon casting good aspect on Rahu?.
2. In the case of negative aspects, summation used aspect values of Saturn, Sun, Jupiter and Mars (54+3+33+60 = 150). But it is written 149 in the table. I would like to know where I am making the mistakes in interpreting this table.

The aspect values in that table are based on natural benefics and malefics. But the best to assess a planet is based on its lajjitaadi influences, so aspects of friends and enemies, etc. For rahu and ketu, we analyze the lajjitaadi of thier lords and the lajjitaadi of the planets with and aspecting rahu and ketu. Natural benefics and malefics do not show good or bad results, just stress or ease.
