Chapter 2 · Good and Bad Results
शुभाऽशुभाध्यायः
यद्यद्भावेषु यत्कर्म तस्माल्लग्नव्यवस्थितिः ।अतीतानागते कार्ये त्वतीतानागतादपि ॥ १९ ॥
Whatever work belongs to each house, from that the place of the rising sign is set. For a matter of the past or the future, it is set also from the past and the future.
Simple meaning: The rising sign is set by the matter asked, and this holds for past or future matters too.
मूर्द्धोदये सौम्यविलग्नगे वा लग्नेऽपि वा सौम्ययुते शुभं स्यात् ।
Good planets with the rising sign bring good results. Bad ones may bring bad results. The stronger side decides.
केन्द्रोपगा नवमपंचमगाश्च सौम्याः केन्द्राष्टवर्ज्यमशुभास्त्रिषडायसंस्थाः ।
Good planets in the 1st, 4th, 5th, 7th, 9th, 10th help, and bad ones in the 3rd, 6th, 11th.
केन्द्रादिनाथो यदि लग्नगः स्यात्तन्मित्रमेतस्य च केन्द्रगं वा ।
Good if the rising sign's lord or his friend is well placed, and bad planets avoid key houses.
