Chapter 10 · The Thought in the Mind
मनोमुष्टिचिन्ताध्यायः
मीनकर्कवृषचापतौलिभिश्चन्द्रशुक्रगुरुभिर्युतेक्षितैः ।जीवमाहुरिति मिश्रितं धनं मिश्रितग्रहयुतेक्षणात्तथा ॥ १३ ॥
The rising sign may be Pisces, Cancer, Taurus, Sagittarius or Libra, joined or seen by the Moon, Venus and Jupiter. Then the thought is about a living being. Mixed planets joining or seeing it show a mixed thing.
Simple meaning: The Moon, Venus and Jupiter with these signs show a living being. Mixed planets show a mixed thing.
विद्याद्ग्रहे तु विषमे किल धातुमूल जीवान् समे तु विपरीतमिदं विचिन्त्यम् ।
In an odd sign the order is metal, plant, living being. In an even sign it is the reverse.
बलिनौ भास्करभौमौ धातुकरौ संस्थितौ प्रश्ने ।
Sun and Mars show metal. Saturn and Mercury show plants. Moon, Jupiter and Venus show living beings.
मेषे सिंहे वृश्चिके वा विलग्ने भौमार्काभ्यामन्विते वीक्षिते वा ।
Mars and the Sun show metal. Saturn and Mercury show a plant.
