भावफलविचाराध्यायः
लग्नादिन्दोर्नवमभवनं भाग्यमार्य्यैः प्रदिष्टंभाग्यं तस्मात्प्रथमममुतः संविचिन्त्यं प्रयत्नात् ।युक्तं दृष्टं जननसमये स्वामिना सौम्यखेटैर्जन्तोर्भाग्यं प्रसरति विधोरेव शौक्ली कलेव ॥ ३८ ॥
The noble teachers call the 9th house from the rising sign and from the Moon the house of fortune. So judge fortune with care, first from the rising sign, then from the Moon. Its lord or good planets may join it or look at it at birth. Then the person's fortune grows. It grows like the Moon in the bright half, digit by digit.
Simple meaning: Judge fortune from the 9th from the lagna, then from the Moon. Its lord and good planets make it grow.
सहोत्थपुत्राङ्गगतो ग्रहश्चेद्
A planet in the 1st, 3rd or 5th looking at the 9th, or a strong one, brings good fortune.
निजोच्चभे पुण्यगृहे नभोगो
A strong planet in its high sign in the 9th may make a ruler born in a royal family.
जीवज्ञशुक्रा नवमे बलिष्ठाः
Strong Jupiter, Mercury and Venus in the 9th, seen by the 5th lord, may bring a high place.
