How this is read
Phaladeepika reads these transits from the natal Chandra (Moon), counting each house from its rashi. It counts Guru (Jupiter) good in transit through the 2nd, 5th, 7th, 9th and 11th houses from the Moon; Shani (Saturn) good in the 3rd, 6th and 11th; and Rahu and Ketu, whose effect it likens to the Sun's, good in the 3rd, 6th, 10th and 11th. Elsewhere, it adds, their transit calls for more care.
Phaladeepika says a graha transiting an unfavourable house does no harm if it is then in its exaltation or own rashi, and gives its full good results if it is also in a favourable house. The same graha transiting a favourable house gives nothing if it is in debilitation, an enemy's rashi or eclipsed; and if the house is also unfavourable, it gives its bad results in a sharper form.
Phaladeepika 26.1, 26.2, 26.31, 26.32. The stays and their tone are the same ones our yearly rashifal reads.
