Chapter 15 · Thoughts on the Rising Sign: War and Travel
लग्नचिन्ताध्यायः
प्राच्यादिदिक्षु मेषाद्याः स्वपंचनवमैर्युताः ।तत्रगे यामिनीनाथे तदाशागच्छतोऽग्रतः ॥ ३५ ॥
Aries and the next signs, each with its 5th and 9th signs, belong to the directions from the east. So Aries, Leo and Sagittarius belong to the east. Taurus, Virgo and Capricorn belong to the south. Gemini, Libra and Aquarius belong to the west. Cancer, Scorpio and Pisces belong to the north. The direction of the Moon's sign lies in front of the traveller.
Simple meaning: 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.
यात्रादिगीशाद्यदि पंचमेऽन्यो गृहे ग्रहो वीर्ययुतोऽवतिष्ठेत् ।
A strong planet in the 5th from the direction's lord takes the traveller to its own direction.
एकोऽपि जीवज्ञसिताऽसितानां कुजात्त्रिकोणे रवितोऽथवेन्दुः ।
A planet in the 5th or 9th from Mars may turn the traveller away. The stronger one leads.
