How a planet comes to work for you
The same planet treats each rising sign differently, because the houses it rules change. Planets that rule the corner houses and the houses of luck work for you. Planets that rule the 6th, 8th and 12th work against you.
Works for you
Rules houses of support. A yogakaraka rules both kinds, the most helpful role.
Neutral
Gives mixed results, depending on where it sits.
Works against you
Rules houses of friction, so its periods ask more of you.
