युद्धजयार्णवः (योगाः नक्षत्राणि)
मीनो मेषोऽथ मिथुनं चतस्रो नाडयो(?) वृषः ।षट्कषट्कर्कसिंहकन्याश्च तुला पञ्च च वृश्चिकः
In the full Agni Purana this is chapter 127, verse 13.
Pisces, Aries, Gemini and Taurus take four ghatikas (24-minute units) each. Cancer, Leo, Virgo and Libra take six each. Scorpio takes five. (Our text is unclear here: the print puts a question mark on the word for the unit.)
Simple meaning: Each sign takes a set time to rise: Pisces to Taurus about 96 minutes each, Cancer to Libra 144.
धनुर्नक्रो घटश्चैव सूर्यगो राशिराद्यकः ।
Sagittarius to Aquarius take 120 minutes each. The Sun's sign rises first. Signs go moving, fixed, dual.
कुलीरो मकरश्चैव तुलामेषादयश्चराः ।
Aries, Cancer, Libra and Capricorn are moving signs, good for moving work.
स्थिरो वृषो हरिः कुम्भो वृश्चिकः स्थिरकार्यके ।
Fixed signs suit fixed work. No quick meeting comes, and a sickness does not quickly lift.
