43. If a strong planet in the house of a benefit is aspected by malefic planets, it destroys the influence of the aspects; if the planet is weak and staying (in a cardine), a malefic destroys the influence of (both) its aspect and the place.

aspected by a benefit and possesses the qualities of a good place. This (influence) results from their various combinations with one another in accordance with their strengths, which are characterized by their (closeness to their) exaltations.
