“From (a Graha’s) Mulatrikona, the owner of the 4th, 2nd, 12th, 5th, 9th, and 8th as well as the lord of its exaltation Rasi are friendly. Inimical are the others. Neutral are those that indicate both (friendly on one count and inimical on another count, which may happen for those Grahas that rule two Rasis).”
Brihat Parashara Hora Shastra: Nature and Form of the Grahas, 55
Example: The Mulatrikona Rasi of Venus is Libra. The Sun rules the 11th from Libra and since the 11th, Leo, is not one of the 2nd, 12th, 4th, 8th, 5th or 9th or the lord of Venus’s exaltation Rasi, the Sun is inimical towards Venus. Jupiter is the lord of the 3rd and 6th from Venus’s Mulatrikona Rasi. Niether the 3rd or 6th is a friendly position, but the 6th, which is Pisces, is the exaltation Rasi of Venus and thus Jupiter becomes friendly on account of ruling Pisces, but inimical on account of ruling the 3rd, and so Jupiter is neutral towards Venus.

“Friendly at the time as well as naturally so – great friendship.
Friendship if friendly and neutral. Enemies if inimical and

neutral. Neutral if friendly and inimical. Both inimical – great enmity. Thus should the astrologer examine the nativity when pronouncing effects.”
Brihat Parashara Hora Shastra: Nature and Form of the Grahas, 57-58
Example: Consider a horoscope in which Mercury is in the 12th from Mars. Mercury is a natural enemy of Mars. At the moment of the horoscope Mercury is a temporary friend of Mars on account of being in the 12th from Mars. Enmity on one count and friendliness on another count cause Mercury to be neutral towards Mars.

“Planets standing in the moveable (Rasis) aspect those in contact with the fixed (Rasis), also, those standing in the fixed aspect those standing in moveable. The Sun and others standing in the dual (Rasis) aspect those standing in dual. That standing on the side is excluded. The planets’s aspects are going both ways.”
Brihat Parashara Hora Shastra: Narration of Rasi Aspects, 4-5
A Graha in a moveable Rasi aspects the fixed Rasis, except the fixed Rasi right next to it, thus a Graha in:
Aries aspects Leo, Scorpio, and Aquarius.
Cancer aspects Scorpio, Aquarius, and Taurus.
Libra aspects Aquarius, Taurus, and Leo.
Capricorn aspects Taurus, Leo, and Scorpio.
A Graha in a fixed Rasi aspects the movable Rasis except the movable Rasi right next to it, thus a Graha in:
Taurus aspects Capricorn, Libra, and Cancer.
Leo aspects Aries, Capricorn, and Libra.
Scorpio aspects Cancer, Aries, and Capricorn.
Aquarius aspects Libra, Cancer and Aries.
A Graha in a dual Rasi aspects the other dual Rasis, thus a Graha in:
Gemini aspects Virgo, Sagittarius, and Pisces.
Virgo aspects Gemini, Pisces and Sagittarius.
Sagittarius aspects Pisces, Gemini, and Virgo.
Pisces aspects Sagittarius, Virgo and Gemini.
Rasi aspects go both ways, thus a Graha aspecting a Graha via Rasi aspect is always aspected by that Graha as well.

“From the aspected subtract the aspecting, if the result exceeds six Rasis (180 degrees) subtract from ten (300 degrees); divide those degrees by two to obtain the exact aspect.”
Brihat Parashara Hora Shastra: Narration of Graha Sphuta Drishti, 6
Example: In order to calculate the aspect of the Sun upon the Moon in a horoscope with the Sun at 10 degrees of Aries and the Moon at 25 degrees of Sagittarius, the difference of the Sun to the Moon is seen to be 255 degrees. 255 degrees is greater than six Rasis (180 degrees), therefore, subtracting 255 from ten Rasis (300 degrees) yeilds 45 degrees. Dividing 45 by 2 yields the aspectual value of 22.5 Virupas.
56
“In excess of five (150 degrees), the degrees without the Rasis doubled is the exact aspect.”
Brihat Parashara Hora Shastra: Narration of Graha Sphuta Drishti, 7
Example: In order to calculate the aspect of the Sun upon Mars in a horoscope with the Sun at 10 degrees of Aries and Mars at 5 degrees of Libra, the difference of the Sun to Mars is seen to be 175 degrees. 175 degrees is in excess of five Rasis (150 degrees) but less than six Rasis (180 degrees), therefore, the degrees without the five Rasis is 25 degrees, these are doubled to yeild the aspectual value of 50 Virupas.
“In excess of four (120 degrees), reduce from five (150 degrees), the degrees are the aspect.”
Brihat Parashara Hora Shastra: Narration of Graha Sphuta Drishti, 7
Example: In order to calculate the aspect of the Sun upon Saturn in a horoscope with the Sun at 10 degrees of Aries and Saturn at 28 degrees of Leo, the difference of the Sun to Saturn is seen to be 138 degrees. 138 degrees is greater than four Rasis (120 degrees) but less than five Rasis (150 degrees), therefore, 138 is subtracted from five Rasis (150 degrees) to yeild 12 degrees and thus the aspectual value is 12 Virupas.
“In excess of three Rasis (90 degrees), subtract from four (120 degrees), the quotient arrived at by dividing by 2 is added to 30 which is the aspect.”
Brihat Parashara Hora Shastra: Narration of Graha Sphuta Drishti, 7-8
Example: In order to calculate the aspect of the Sun upon Rahu in a horoscope with the Sun at 10 degrees of Aries and Rahu at 3 degrees of Leo, the difference from the Sun to Rahu is 113 degrees. 113 degrees is greater than three Rasis (90 degrees) but less than four Rasis (120 degrees), therefore, 113 is subtracted from four Rasis (120 degrees) yeilding 7 degres.
7 divided by two yeilds 3.5, which added to 30 shows the aspectual value as 33.5 virupas.
“In excess of two (60 degrees), the degrees without the Rasis added to fifteen.”
Brihat Parashara Hora Shastra: Narration of Graha Sphuta Drishti, 8
Example: In order to calculate the aspect of the Sun upon the ascendant in a horoscope with the Sun at 10 degrees of Aries and the ascendant at 15 degrees of Gemini, the difference from the Sun to the ascendant is 65 degrees. 65 degrees is greater than two Rasis (60 degrees) and less than three Rasis (90 degrees), therefore, the degrees without the Rasis, which are 5 degrees after reducing 65 by 30 once and then twice, are added to 15 showing the aspectual value of 20 virupas.
“In excess of one (30 degrees) the degrees without the Rasi divided by 2 indicates the aspect.”
Brihat Parashara Hora Shastra: Narration of Graha Sphuta Drishti, 9
Example: In order to calculate the aspect of the Sun upon Venus in a horoscope with the Sun at 10 degrees of Aries and Venus at 16 degrees of Taurus, the difference from the Sun to Venus is 36 degrees. 36 is greater than one Rasi (30 degrees) and less than two Rasis (60 degrees), therefore, the degrees without the Rasis, which are 6 degrees after reducing 36 by 30, are divided by 2 to reveal an aspectual value of 3 Virupas.
