Raja Yoga: Benefics in the 1st, 2nd and 4th, a Malefic in the 3rd

Classical definition: Lagna, Dhana Bhava and Bandhu Bhava are occupied by benefics, while a malefic is in Sahaja Bhava. In modern terms: There is a benefic in the 1st house, a benefic in the 2nd house and a benefic in the 4th house. At least one malefic is in the 3rd house. Benefics are Jupiter, Venus, Mercury and the waxing Moon. Malefics are the Sun, Mars, Saturn, Rahu and Ketu. Houses are counted from the rising sign (Lagna): the 1st house is the rising sign itself.
