Budha is a Naisargika Shubha (Saumya), hence its placement in any houses are welcome, as the house gains from Budha’s placement. However, Budha is not independent, and its location is dependent on Surya’s position. Hence, both these grahas need to be evaluated together. Usually no grahas are welcome in the 8th house, but Budha is an exception. Here Budha gives excellent results, but it should not be afflicted. It should however, not be placed in the other 2 dusthanas, viz., the 6th and 12th house. Budha is highly welcome in a Kendra or Trikona as it enhances the strength of the horoscope. Like all other planets, it is also highly welcome in the 12th house.
