Another dimension: if there is conjunction of 9th and 10th lord it should also be seen as conjunction of kona and kendra lords, seen as beneficial. - Yes, this I know. 9th is Kona (other than 1 & 5) and 10th is Kendra (other than 1,4,7), and the conjunction of kona and kendra lord is considered beneficial/auspicious. Some astrologers would say that 9th house is a baadhaka stana for stira lagna and will place much emphasis on that. - This info. is totally new to me. Thank you for sharing this with me. But, I could not understand as how come the significance of 9th house of Father/Dharma/Foreign Travel etc, veries with mobile qualities of the houses (movable, fixed and dual lagna signs) Rgds.,
