Benefic Planets
Moon, Mercury, Jupiter and Venus are natural benefics. But the waning moon in Krishna Paksha cannot be considered beneficial. However, if there is the Yoga (association) or Drishti (aspect) on the Moon it will become a benefic. Mercury turns benefic or malefic depending on its association with other planets.
Malefic Planets
Waning moon, Saturn, Sun, Mars, Rahu, Ketu, Gulikan and afflicted Mercury are all malefics.
What is Paksha Bala?
This is determined by looking at the moon. Since Moon is located closest to the earth, between Sun and Earth, it is as important as the ascendant in predictive astrology. From Pradhama of Shukla Paksha, i.e. the first day after Amavasya, the Moon has Madhyama Bala till Dashami, the tenth day. After that the Moon keeps on gaining strength. This means from Ekadashi to the Panchami of Krishna Paksha the Moon’s strength is greater. From Shashti of the Krishnapaksha to the Amavasya, Moon has no Paksha Bala.
