Okay, so, I was messing around with some astrology stuff the other day, trying to figure out what “malefic” means in that context. It’s a word I’ve seen pop up a bunch, but I never really got what it was all about. So, I decided to dig in and see what I could find.
First off, I just did a quick search to get a basic idea. Turns out, “malefic” is this old-school term that basically means something’s gonna bring bad luck or just generally negative vibes. I saw a couple of places that said it refers to aspects and planets in your chart that are considered, well, unfortunate.
Then, I started looking into which planets are usually labeled as “malefic”. Seems like Mars and Saturn are the usual suspects. I guess that makes sense – Mars is all about war and aggression, and Saturn is like the strict, grumpy teacher of the zodiac. But then I saw some sources saying that for practical purposes, Uranus is in there too.
After that, I tried to understand how these malefic planets actually work. I read that they are the planets that can mess with you in different areas of life – like health problems, relationship drama, you name it. It’s not a great feeling, you know, realizing there are these celestial bodies supposedly out there causing trouble. I think that’s true.
I also stumbled upon this idea that understanding malefic effects is super important if you’re trying to interpret an astrological chart. Apparently, it can get confusing figuring out what a planet’s doing during its major or minor periods, or what’s called “maha dasha” and “antardasha.” People might be like, “Wait, why is this planet doing this?”
My little summary
- Mars: Think war, aggression, and conflict.
- Saturn: Think restrictions, limitations, and hard lessons.
- Uranus: Think sudden disruptions and unexpected events.
So, yeah, that’s what I learned about malefic planets in astrology. It’s kind of a heavy topic, but it’s also pretty interesting to see how these ancient ideas are still around. It definitely made me think twice about just brushing off astrology as some woo-woo stuff. There’s clearly more to it than meets the eye, and I guess this is a rabbit hole to fall into. I’ll keep on reading and digging to see what else I can learn. Maybe I’ll even try to figure out my own chart and see if I can spot any of these malefic influences at play. Who knows, maybe it’ll help me avoid some future headaches!
