be-ne-fic
Phonetic: /ˌbɛn.əˈfɪk/
In Medieval astrology, benefic refers to planets or influences associated with favorable, supportive, and constructive outcomes.
The term is most commonly applied to Jupiter and Venus, the traditional benefic planets. Their influence was linked with prosperity, harmony, protection, agreement, health, and increase. Medieval astrologers evaluated benefic effects through dignity, house placement, aspects, and reception, since even benefic planets could be weakened or obstructed. Benefic influence played an important role in reducing harm and supporting successful outcomes in judgment.
