This chapter gives the results of planet states, taken planet by planet. It runs through the Sun, Moon, Mars, Mercury, Jupiter, Venus, Saturn, Rahu and Ketu.
For each, the twelve states are described in order, from lying down to sleeping. Some states bring wealth and honour. Others bring a hard time. These are tendencies, not fixed results.
