शत्रुग्रहनीचगृहगैर्दुःस्वप्नो निर्जितैर्ग्रहैर्वाच्यः ।रविकिरणलुप्तकायैः स्वप्ने प्रष्टुर्भवेद्भंगः ॥ २७ ॥
The planets in the rising sign may be in an enemy's sign or their low point. Or they may have lost a planet fight. Then tell of a bad dream. If their body is hidden by the Sun's rays, the dream may bring the asker a setback.
Simple meaning: Weak planets in the rising sign show a bad dream. Planets hidden by the Sun may mean a setback.
लग्नचन्द्रान्तरालसंख्यया फलपाककालो वाच्यः ।
Count the signs from the rising sign to the Moon. That number shows when the result comes.
अकचटतपयशवर्गा रविकुजसितसौम्यजीवसौरीणाम् ।
Each planet has a group of letters. Look at the first letter spoken in the question.
ज्ञात्वा तस्माल्लग्नं संगृह्य शुभाशुभं वदेत्प्रष्टुः ।
If the first letter is 1st, 3rd or 5th in its group, the planet's odd sign rises.
