Bhava Kutuhala · Chapter 5
पञ्चमोऽध्यायः
This chapter shows how birth troubles are calmed by the planets. A bright Moon between good planets is the chief protector.
Jupiter in the rising sign, or in its own or high sign, also calms many faults. Strong good planets in the corner houses help too. Even Rahu can help from the 3rd, 6th or 11th house. When all planets are strong, even a great danger soon ends.
The English below is our translation from the Sanskrit.
