Chapter 15 · Thoughts on the Rising Sign: War and Travel
लग्नचिन्ताध्यायः
नवमांशे तिग्मांशोर्वाहननाशो विलग्नसम्प्राप्ते ।कृच्छ्रात् स्वगृहगमनं प्रतापमृदुला च चन्द्रांशे ॥ १९ ॥
If the rising sign falls in the Sun's navamsha (one-ninth part of a sign), a vehicle may be lost. In the Moon's navamsha, the return home is hard, and one's power grows weak.
Simple meaning: Rising in the Sun's navamsha, a vehicle may be lost. In the Moon's, the return home is hard.
कौजेऽग्निभयं बौधे मित्र प्राप्तिर्धनागमो जैवे ।
Mars's navamsha: fear of fire. Mercury: friends. Jupiter: money. Venus: more comforts. Saturn: servants may be lost.
यदुदयति फलं प्रदिष्टं जनयति तस्य नवांशको विलग्ने ।
A navamsha gives the result of its sign. A good planet's navamsha brings help from the enemy's side.
शुभर्क्षे तन्नवांशे च यो याति मनुजेश्वरः ।
A king who sets out in a good sign and navamsha may get help from inside the enemy's army.
