Chapter 15 · Thoughts on the Rising Sign: War and Travel
लग्नचिन्ताध्यायः
सर्वं प्रमाणं मुनिनोदितत्वात्किं त्वत्र होराबलमेव योग्यम् ।यस्मिन्सहस्रांशुरवस्थितोऽर्धे तिर्यङ्मुखी सा गणयेत्ततोऽन्याः ॥ ३० ॥
All these rules hold, because a sage gave them. But here the strength of the hora (half of a sign) is the one to use. The half in which the Sun stands faces sideways. Count the others from it.
Simple meaning: 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.
वार प्रवृत्तेर्घटिका द्विनिघ्नाः कालाख्यहोरापतयः शराप्ताः ।
Double the ghatikas and divide by five for the hours. Hour lords go: Sun, Venus, Mercury, Moon, Saturn, Jupiter, Mars.
