Sir, if it's the dasha of an akarak planet, say Saturn dasha for Leo lagna, and Saturn is placed in 11th. It is aspecting 11th lord with it's tenth drishti as well. Now, a natural malefic in upchay is good.

1) So here Saturn is akarak, aspects lagna but is in upchay too. So for first house, can we say good because a natural malefic is in upchay or bad since a natural and functional malefic is aspecting lagna?

2) Saturn is afflicting 11th house as well as it's lord. But Saturn and Mercury are friends. So will it harm income or help to earn more?
