Chapter 15 · Thoughts on the Rising Sign: War and Travel
लग्नचिन्ताध्यायः
क्षुत्तृष्णार्तिर्मार्गनाशोऽक्षिरोगः क्लेशस्याप्तिस्तिग्मगोः प्राग्विलग्ने ।शस्तं चान्द्रे देवतार्थं स्वदेशे कौजे पित्तव्यालशस्त्राग्निपीडाः ॥ २६ ॥
When the Sun's sign is rising in the east, the traveller tends to suffer hunger and thirst. He may lose the road, get eye illness, and meet trouble. When the Moon's sign rises, a trip for the gods within one's own land is good. When Mars's sign rises, there is a risk of bile trouble, snakes, weapons and fire.
Simple meaning: 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.
वृषवृश्चिककर्कटैर्नृणामनुकूलैरपि लग्नमाश्रितैः ।
Taurus, Scorpio or Cancer in the 1st or 12th house is bad for a journey, the sages say.
मीने कुटिलो मार्गो भवति तदंशेऽन्यराशिलग्नेऽपि ।
With Pisces rising, the road may be crooked. Do not travel when a water sign or its navamsha rises.
