Rao, 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.
