There are 3 Main types of Rashi's:

A) Sheerodaya Rashi (Head-Rising) are: Mithun (Gemini), Simha (Leo), Kanya (Virgo), Tula (Libra), Vrishchik (Scorpio), Kumbha (Aquarius).
 Powerful at day.

B) Pristhodaya Rashi (Hind Rising) are: Mesha (Aries), Vrish (Taurus), Karkat (Cancer), Dhanu (Sagittarius), Makara (Capricorn).
Powerful at Night.

C) Those Rashis which rise from their both head and hind part are called Ubhayodaya Rashi. Pisces is the Ubhayodaya Rashi.
These are powerful at both day and night.

During the period of planets ie. Dasha if the planet is situated at Seershodaya Rashi then it gives more fruits especially in first half of Dasha, if Pristhodaya then it gives more fruits especially in last half of Dasha, if Ubhayodaya gives fruit throught the Dasha.

Saturn in Twelfth House

If Saturn is in the 12th house, the native will be sinful, miser and will have affliction in some part of his body. If Saturn is associated with a malefic the native will have defective eye sight. If he is associated with a benefic the native will be happy, will have good eye sight and will go to heaven after death. If he is associated with a malefic the native will go to hell, will incur wasteful expenditure and will be poor.

Other Views

Brihat Jatak- The person concerned will suffer degradation.

Phaldeepika- The native will be shameless, poor, childless and stupid and some part of the body of the native will be deformed.

Saravali- The native will be sinful, gossiper, hard hearted, mischievous and humiliated and will incur wasteful expenditure.

Chamatkar Chintamani- The native will be shameless and will have small eyes. He will be happy in foreign travels. If Saturn is in 12th as lord of the ascendant, the native will destroy his enemies.

Saturn in Eleventh House

If Saturn is in the 11th house, the native will be very wealthy but there will be obstacles in his way. He will also be owner of landed property and a favourite of Government. If Saturn is in his own sign or in his sign of exaltation the native will be learned and enjoy Mahabhagya Yoga (causing prosperity of a very high order) and comforts of all kinds of conveyances.

All planets whether benefic or malefic prosper in the eleventh house unless they are lord of the 6th, 8th or 12th houses. Eleventh is an upachaya house and here malefics will fare better than benefics. It is on this account that very beneficial results have been attributed to Saturn in that house.

Very powerful Dhana yogas will result with Saturn in the eleventh in the following circumstances:-

(1) When Aries is the ascendant and Saturn is in the eleventh as lord of the 10th and 11th,

(2) When Taurus is the ascendant and Saturn is in the eleventh as lord of the 9th and 10th,

(3) When Libra is the ascendant and Saturn is in the eleventh as lord of the 4th and 5th,

(4) When Sagittarius is the ascendant and Saturn is exalted in the 11th as lord of the 2nd,

(5) When Capricorn is the ascendant and Saturn is in the eleventh as lord of the  ascendant and the 2nd and

(6) When Aquarius is the ascendant and Saturn is in the eleventh as lord of the ascendant.

Saturn will give extremely favourable results in the following circumstances:

 (1) When Aries and Taurus are the ascendants Saturn will be in his own sign in the tenth as lord of the 10th and 11th and 9th and 10th respectively. With lord of the 9th in the 10th and lord of 10th in 10th, a very powerful Rajayoga will be formed conferring upon the native name, fame, wealth and honours of a high order.

(4) For Aquarius ascendant, Saturn will be in the 10th as lord of the ascendant, again a favourable disposition. In the tenth house, Saturn will be in Kendra to the ascendant. His disposition in his own sign or in his sign of exaltation will give rise to Sasa yoga.
