According to Laghu Parashara, beneficial planets Jupiter, Venus, Mercury, and the Moon become significant Marakas (planets causing major life transformations) when they own the 7th house, a Kendra (angular house). Their impact as Marakas decreases in the order: Jupiter (most significant), Venus, Mercury, and Moon (least significant). This is especially true when they occupy their own signs in the 7th house.
Mars, a natural malefic, does not give positively impactful results merely by owning the 10th house (a Kendra); it becomes neutral. Mars becomes positively impactful only if it also owns a Trikona (trinal) house simultaneously. For example, in Cancer Lagna, Mars owns both the 10th and 5th houses (the latter being a Trikona), making Mars a powerful Rajayogakaraka (royal yoga planet). However, in Aquarius Lagna, Mars owns the 10th and 3rd houses, with the 3rd being a Trishadaya (challenging) house, making Mars less favorable.

In Vedic astrology, the roles of Yogakarakas and Marakas are crucial in determining the outcomes of planetary influences in an individual's chart. Beneficial planets such as Jupiter, Venus, Mercury, and the Moon transform into significant Marakas when they own the 7th house, which is a Kendra. Interestingly, this is especially potent when they occupy their own signs. Mars, on the other hand, as a natural malefic, requires dual ownership of Kendra and Trikona houses to turn positive, highlighting a unique interplay in planetary dynamics that can lead to favorable life transformations.
