Chapter 10 · The Thought in the Mind
मनोमुष्टिचिन्ताध्यायः
भार्या भवेत्सप्तमगैरमीभिर्धर्माश्रितो धर्मसमाश्रितैश्च ।खस्थैर्गुरुः स्वांशपमित्रशत्रुस्थानेषु तद्वद्बलवत्सु वाच्यम् ॥ ४ ॥
Strong planets in the 7th house show a wife. In the 9th house they show a man of religion. In the 10th house they show a teacher or elder. A strong planet may sit in its navamsha (one-ninth part of a sign) lord's place. Or in a friend's or an enemy's place. Say the same then. (Our text is unclear here: what these places add to the reading.)
Simple meaning: Strong planets in the 7th, 9th or 10th house show a wife, a religious man, or a teacher.
भागे चरे चरविलग्नगते च मध्याद् भ्रष्टप्रवासविषया भवतीह चिन्ता ।
A movable rising sign shows a thought about someone abroad. He may come back.
दीर्घास्तुलालिमृगनायककन्यकाः स्युर्मध्या धनुर्मकरकर्कटयुग्मसंज्ञाः ।
The sign shows the size of the thing: long, middle or short.
रक्तौ सूर्यमहीसुतौ शशिसितौ श्वेतौ सुधादीधितेः सूनुः स्याद्धरिताकृतिः सुरगुरुः पीतः शनिः श्यामलः ।
Each planet has a colour and a shape. These show the colour and shape of the thing.
