Chapter 15 · Thoughts on the Rising Sign: War and Travel
लग्नचिन्ताध्यायः
उदयमुदयपं वा जन्मपं जन्मभं वा तदुपचयगृहं वा वीक्ष्य लग्ने यियासोः ।विनिहतमरिपक्षं विद्धि शत्रोरिदं वा यदि हिबुकसमेतं पृच्छतोऽस्तस्थितं वा ॥ २४ ॥
A man wants to march out. Look at the rising sign of his question. It may hold his rising sign at birth or its lord. It may hold his birth sign or its lord, or a growth house from them. Then know the enemy side may be struck down. The same holds if the enemy's such sign falls in the asker's 4th or 7th house.
Simple meaning: If the marcher's own birth signs or their lords rise at the question, the enemy may be beaten.
शत्रोर्होरा राशिस्तदधिपतिर्जन्मभं तदीशो वा ।
If the enemy's rising sign, birth sign or their lords sit in the 7th or 4th, he may fall.
क्षुत्तृष्णार्तिर्मार्गनाशोऽक्षिरोगः क्लेशस्याप्तिस्तिग्मगोः प्राग्विलग्ने ।
Sun's sign rising may bring hunger and eye trouble. Moon's is good for holy trips. Mars's risks fire and weapons.
बौधे तुष्टिर्वांछिताप्तिर्यशश्च जैवेऽर्थाप्तिः स्थानलाभोऽरिनाशः ।
Mercury, Jupiter and Venus rising bring good results. Saturn's sign rising may bring fire, illness and insult.
