Chapter 15 · Thoughts on the Rising Sign: War and Travel
लग्नचिन्ताध्यायः
जय एकादशसंस्थैः क्रूरैरन्त्योपगैः स्वबलभेदः ।उपचयवर्जं सौम्यैर्यत्तत्पापैर्विपर्यस्तम् ॥ ९ ॥
Bad planets in the 11th house give victory. In the 12th house they may split one's own forces. Outside the upachaya (growth house) houses, bad planets give the opposite of what good planets give.
Simple meaning: Bad planets in the 11th give victory. In the 12th, one's forces may split.
क्रूरोऽप्यनुकूलस्थः शस्तो लग्ने शुभोऽपि नानिष्टः ।
A bad planet placed well in the 1st house is good. A backward planet in a corner house is not.
प्रश्नगतद्रेष्काणे राजा नेता द्वितीयेऽस्य ।
The first third of the rising sign shows the king. Then the leader, then troops, priest and doctor, then servants.
स्थानपराक्रमचिन्ता परतो व्यवहारनृपसैन्ये ।
The next thirds show place and courage, dealings and the army, then food, bed and seat.
