If you ever want to know that any of the planets in your birth chart is good or bad, this basic will help you get the finest touch in understanding it.

Varahamihira gives an excellent foundation of understanding Planet and in a unique way as below. He divides planets into to camps as DEVAS and ASURAS. This classification by him very legit as per Indian astrology and backed strong fundamentals of Jyotisha.

The Deva and Asura camp

Let us understand the high-level relationship between the two camps, the Deva and Asuras, the Daityas and the Adityas.

Among the Deva grahas, Surya, Chandra and Brhaspati are endowed with Sattva Guna, while Mangal and Ketu are endowed with Tamas Guna. On the other hand the Asura grahas Shani, Rahu are endowed with Tamas Guna while Shukra and Budha are endowed with the Rajas Guna. The more about the Gunas can be understood from Srimad Bhagavad-Gita.

The Devas and Asuras are in an eternal fight to dominate and overpower each other. This is also seen among the grahas belonging to these two camps. The Devas army represented by Ketu, who is led by Mangal and guided by Devaguru Brhaspati. On the other hand, the Asura's army is represented by Rahu and guided by Shukra. They are into a never-ending fight.

Hence, it can be said that the grahas belonging to each of the camps are friendly to each other. For instance, in the Deva camp, Surya, Chandra, Brhaspati and Mangal are friendly to each other. Similarly, in the Asura camp, Shani, Shukra and Budha are friendly to each other. The treatment of the nodes are different as they are Chaya grahas.

Mapping the grahas into the zodiac, the Deva Grahas govern the Fiery and watery signs while the Asura Grahas govern the Earthy and Airy signs. Each group have one pair of Odd and even signs, representing, the prevalence of both masculine and feminine energies within both the groups. However, from a tattva perspective, there is a difference as some tattvas are in exclusive control of both the camps. This has a deeper meaning. Let explore that.

Gandanta point between Fire and Water signs

Fire represents the father Surya and Water represents the Mother Chandra. Both of them are needed for the creation to happen. But they need to be balanced, else, the fire will turn water into Air or Water will douse the fire. The creation happens at the juncture of the water and fire signs, which is a very delicate and fragile process. Hence the junction represents the danger zone which is prone to mishaps and death. They are also known as the Gandanta. Coming back to the nature of the Tattvas, the fire governs energy, drive, enthusiasm, optimism, positivity, innovation and creative potential. The water element governs compassion, beauty, harmony, comfort, care, knowledge and wisdom. These characteristics are needed to maintain positive energy, balance and harmony in the world.

On the other hand, the Tattva governed by the Asura grahas are Earth and Air. The Earth represents achievement, success, dominion and settlement. The airy signs represent human interaction, intellectual growth, logic, application of intelligence, philosophy etc. They are required for growth and progress in the world. So in a way, the Asura energies are not that bad, they bring growth and success in the world. The things turn sour, only when greed comes into the picture and the growth starts hurting the balance and harmony.

The Upachayas are the houses of growth and in the natural zodiac, they are governed by the Asura grahas Budha and Shani. on the other hand, the Trikona are the houses of harmony and are governed by the Deva grahas Mangal, Surya and Guru. The Kendras are equally shared by both the Deva and Asura grahas. The Dharma and Moksha Kendra are governed by the Deva grahas, while the Artha and Kama Kendras are governed by the Asura grahas. they also tell a lot of the primary and the root motive of the Deva and Asura Grahas. Among the four primary goals of the world, the righteousness (dharma) and moksha (freedom) are governed by the Devas, while the Artha (success, wealth) and Kama (fulfilment of desires) are governed by the Asuras.

The Trines from a Sign are always governed by the same tattva and the same camp of graha. That is why when a Bhava lord occupies a Kona from its Bhava, it is always placed in a friendly sign. Thus it is always conducive for a graha to be placed in the Kona from its Bhava. However, when a Graha occupies a Kendra, two of the four Kendras always belong to the friends while two belong to the enemies. Among the Kendras, the 7th is always ruled by a Graha belonging to the enemy camp, while the 1st is owned by the Graha. Among the 2 other Kendras 4th and 10th, the friendship or enmity depends on the oddity of the signs. For the odd signs, the 4th house is always ruled by a friendly graha, while for even signs, the 10th is always ruled by a friendly grahas. It is useful to keep these concepts in mind as this helps in developing the overall idea of graha placements in a snap.
