Chapter 15 · Thoughts on the Rising Sign: War and Travel
लग्नचिन्ताध्यायः
कौजेऽग्निभयं बौधे मित्र प्राप्तिर्धनागमो जैवे ।भोगविवृद्धि शौक्रे भृत्यविनाशो रविसुतांशे च ॥ २० ॥
In the navamsha (one-ninth part of a sign) of Mars there is a fear of fire. In the navamsha of Mercury, friends come. In the navamsha of Jupiter, money comes. In the navamsha of Venus, comforts grow. In the navamsha of Saturn, servants may be lost.
Simple meaning: 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.
यत्प्रोक्तं राश्युदये द्वादशभागेऽपि तत्फलं वाच्यम् ।
The rules for the rising sign also fit its twelfth part. The navamsha rules fit its thirtieth part.
