Eg: Suppose, For an Aries Ascendant, 11th house belongs to Saturn and it is in the 2nd house.
The 2nd house indicates wealth, material possessions, speech, education, and family. The 11th house indicates a friend’s circles, team settings, profits, and gains. Badakesh being in the 2nd house shows, this person will lose money through friends. The friends may give him wrong inputs and he will be like the prodigal son in the Bible. He can even leave family due to the influence of friends for a multitude of reasons. However, the situation will develop after the second half of life. That too depends upon how Saturn is placed. There will be much difference as Saturn is in its friend Venus’ house. This person will not have much confidence in himself in the initial years of life. He may get bullied by his teammates. This person will have bad dental health, where he will make regular appointments with the dentist in the future. Less nourishment from family, lack of self-confidence, poor lifestyle and weak physique too.
This is how Badhakesh works. Analysis of the whole chart is very much required for any astrology prediction
