Chapter 15 · Thoughts on the Rising Sign: War and Travel
लग्नचिन्ताध्यायः
वार प्रवृत्तेर्घटिका द्विनिघ्नाः कालाख्यहोरापतयः शराप्ताः ।दिनाधिपाद्या रविशुक्रसौम्यशशांक सौरीज्यकुजाः क्रमेण ॥ ३३ ॥
Take the ghatikas (24-minute unit) passed since the weekday began. Double them and divide by five. The result counts the hours. The kalahora (planet ruling the hour) lords start from the lord of the day. They go in this order: the Sun, Venus, Mercury, the Moon, Saturn, Jupiter, Mars.
Simple meaning: Double the ghatikas and divide by five for the hours. Hour lords go: Sun, Venus, Mercury, Moon, Saturn, Jupiter, Mars.
व्यतिपातविष्टिवैधृतिपापग्रहलग्नदिवसेषु ।
On bad days, or with a bad planet's sign rising, theft, raids and battles tend to succeed.
प्राच्यादिदिक्षु मेषाद्याः स्वपंचनवमैर्युताः ।
Each group of three signs has a direction. The Moon's group shows the direction in front of the traveller.
ओजदण्डे पुरश्चन्द्रे पृष्ठेराहौ रणेजयः ।
The Moon in front and Rahu behind may bring victory. The Moon on the left may bring loss.
