वृष्टिनिर्णयाध्यायः
चन्द्रार्कयोः शनिसितौ यदि सप्तमस्थौ तुर्येऽष्टमे च भवतो यदि वा विलग्नात् ।स्यातां धने च सहजे यदि तौ विलग्नाद्वर्षासु वर्षणमचिरेण तदा विधत्तः ॥ १ ॥
Saturn and Venus may stand in the 7th house from the Moon and the Sun. Or they may stand in the 4th and 8th from the rising sign. Or they may stand in the 2nd and 3rd from the rising sign. Then they bring rain soon in the rainy season.
Simple meaning: If Saturn and Venus stand in these places, rain will come soon in the rainy season.
पक्षे सिते सलिलराशिगताः शुभाश्चेत् केन्द्रद्वितीयसहजालयगाश्च सम्यक् ।
In the bright half, good planets in water signs, or the Moon in a water rising sign, bring rain.
कर्कटमृगमीनानामुदये चन्द्रं सितोऽपि वृष्टिकरः ।
Cancer, Capricorn or Pisces rising, with the Moon or Venus in it, tends to bring rain.
शीतद्युतिः सलिलराशि विलग्नगामी वीर्यान्वितेन भृगुजेन निरीक्ष्यमाणः ।
A Moon in a water rising sign, seen by strong Venus, brings heavy rain.
