Those which have no movements and the places of which are fixed are termed as Nakshatras or asterisms.

Those bodies that continuously move through the asterisms in the Zodiac are called grahas or planets. The said Zodiac comprises of 27 asterisms commencing from Ashwini. The same area is divided into 12 parts which, commencing from Aries are known as ‘signs’. The planets have names like the Sun etc. The sign rising in the East is known as the Lagna or the Ascendant. From the condition of the Ascendant and the planets joining and departing from each other are deduced the native’s good and bad effects.

These should be taken as the natural relationships of the planets.

Sharma:
Temporary Relationship or Horoscopic Relationships: The planets Sun etc. situated in the 10th, 4th, 11th, 3rd, 2nd or the 12th from another are mutual friends (or friends to that planet). If they are situated in other than these places they act as his enemies.
तत्काले च निसर्गे च मित्रं चेदधिमित्रकम् ।
मित्रं मित्रसमत्वे तु शत्रु: शत्रुसमत्वके ॥ ५७ ॥
समो मित्ररिपुत्वे तु शत्रुत्वे त्वधिशत्रुता |
एवं विविच्य दैवज्ञो जातकस्य फलं वदेत् ॥ ५८ ॥
tatkāle ca nisarge ca mitraṁ cedadhimitrakam .
mitraṁ mitrasamatve tu śatruḥ śatrusamatvake .. 57..
samo mitrariputve tu śatrutve tvadhiśatrutā .
evaṁ vivicya daivajño jātakasya phalaṁ vadet .. 58..
Sharma:
Compound Relationship: The planet who is friendly both naturally and temporarily, is called extremely friendly. On the other hand, if he is friendly in one place and neutral in another he is friendly. If he is enemy in one place and neutral in another, he is enemy: If he is enemy in both ways he has extreme enmity with the planet concerned. The astrologer should predict the effects of the native after considering the reltionship in this way.
स्वोच्चे शुभं फलं पूर्ण त्रिकोणे पादवर्जितम् ।
स्वक्षेऽर्ध मित्रगेहे तु पादमात्रं प्रकीर्तितम् ॥ ५९ ॥
पादार्थ समभे प्रोक्तं शून्यं नीचास्शत्रु |
तद्वद्दुष्टफलं बूयाद् व्यत्ययेन विचक्षणः ॥ ६० ॥
svocce śubhaṁ phalaṁ pūrṇa trikoṇe pādavarjitam .
svarkṣe’rdhaṁ mitragehe tu pādamātraṁ prakīrtitam .. 59..
pādārdhaṁ samabhe proktaṁ śūnyaṁ nīcāstaśatrubhe .
tadvadduṣṭaphalaṁ brūyad vyatyayena vicakṣaṇaḥ .. 60..
Sharma:
Ratio of Effects: When in his exaltation, a planet gives fully good effects, in his Mool Trikona sign, three fourth or 75%, in his own sign half or 50%, in his friendly sign one fourth or 25%, in the sign of his neutral planet half of one fourth or 12.5% and when he is in his fall, or is set or is in enemy house, it should be predicted by the wise astrologer that his effects are nil. Inauspicious effects are quite reverse with reference to these houses.
