from Yogis, Destiny and the Wheel of Time - ch. 9
Sometimes it appeared [Swami Paramananda Saraswati] gave upmost
importance to benefics in kendras (angular houses
1, 4, 7, 10): one, two, or three. A horoscope without any
benefic in kendra would get compensated to some extent if
benefics aspected kendras. The Vishnu sthanas (kendras/angular
houses) showed nobility and benefics reinforced such noble
approach to the divine subject of astrology.
An astrologer with only malefics in kendras was a malicious,
ill-equipped, dishonest, and poor scholar with either no sound
knowledge or ill-digested knowledge, in which he would combine
inferior siddhis (powers) more, and astrology less.
This is known as shoola (thorn) yoga. They
have unhappiness in their families with their children and
wife etc.

Note by Vaughn Paul Manley:
As a general principle, the more the benefic planets (Jupiter,
Venus, Mercury, Moon) influence the key locations in the chart
the better. This includes the Vishnu sthanas or kendra
houses (1, 4, 7, 10) and Lakshmi sthanas or trikona
houses (1, 5, 9), the lagna (ascendant) lord, Moon
and Sun. This will modify the negative impact of having malefics
in kendras.

more discussion on the value of benefic planets in kendras

Essential Meaning of the Houses.
