Hi Ernst and everyone;
does a rasi aspect by Mars count as "malefic influence" to the 4th lord when it comes to Kapata yoga?
The person I´m studying has Rahu in the 4th and Saturn in the 7th, joined by Mercury.
Does Mercury become malefic due to conjunction to Saturn, and does that influence Saturn himself?
Mars is in the 3rd house, rasi aspecting. The planetary aspect is weak.
Also... This person has one of the most amazing charts that I have ever seen, good dignities, very few bad lajjitaadi avasthas, several good yogas. But is extremely deceitful, even a sociapath, I´ve come to realize. Kapata yoga must be really severe blemish to a chart, from what I see.

Yes, rasi aspect works.
No, the mercury does not afflict saturn.
@ernst Does having a Ju-Mars delighting each other in a chart either through conjunction or mutual aspect mitigate Kapata yoga?
It makes a better person, and a better person will have less to deceive about.
