Chapter 15 · Thoughts on the Rising Sign: War and Travel
लग्नचिन्ताध्यायः
मीने कुटिलो मार्गो भवति तदंशेऽन्यराशिलग्नेऽपि ।नो यानमाप्यलग्ने कार्यं तेषां नवांशेऽपि ॥ २९ ॥
When Pisces rises, the road turns crooked. The same happens in its navamsha (one-ninth part of a sign), even when another sign rises. Do not travel when a water sign rises. Do not travel in a water sign's navamsha either.
Simple meaning: With Pisces rising, the road may be crooked. Do not travel when a water sign or its navamsha rises.
सर्वं प्रमाणं मुनिनोदितत्वात्किं त्वत्र होराबलमेव योग्यम् ।
Here the strength of the half-sign matters. The half with the Sun faces sideways. Count the rest from it.
धत्ते वांछितकार्यमूर्ध्ववदना क्लेशाद्विना लग्नगा क्लेशायासपरिक्षयांश्चकुरुते तिर्यङ्मुखी गच्छतः ।
An upward half-sign rising brings success. A sideways one, trouble. A downward one, loss and a hard return.
आरुद्रमीशा रविभौमजीव विद्भार्गवैनीन्दव इत्यतोऽगुः ।
Each direction has a planet lord. Rahu moves through the directions, one every half of a three-hour part.
