For Malefics we have a term and definition in Astrology.

Planets generating difficult circumstances: Mars, Saturn; nowadays Uranus. The Sun is classed as a malefic in Indian (Vedic) astrology and also in Western Astrology when in conjunction (due to phenomenon of combustion except when cazimi, i.e. in the heart of the Sun). The jury is still out on Pluto, but he is most likely malefic. Ceres it seems to me is generally malefic, especially in terms of natural disasters.
