Chapter 2 · Good and Bad Results
शुभाऽशुभाध्यायः
केन्द्रोपगा नवमपंचमगाश्च सौम्याः केन्द्राष्टवर्ज्यमशुभास्त्रिषडायसंस्थाः ।सर्वार्थसाधनकराः परिपृच्छतां स्युरेभिर्विपर्ययगुणैस्तु विपर्ययः स्यात् ॥ २१ ॥
Good planets in the 1st, 4th, 7th and 10th bring success in all the asker's aims. So do good planets in the 9th and 5th. So do bad planets in the 3rd, 6th and 11th, away from the 1st, 4th, 7th, 10th and 8th. With the opposite placings, the result is the opposite.
Simple meaning: 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.
नरराशिलग्नमभिवीक्षितं शुभैरुदयास्तबन्धुदशगैः शुभैस्तथा ।
A human-sign rising sign, good planets in the corner houses and bad ones in the 3rd, 6th, 11th bring gain.
कन्यातुला च मिथुनं च घटो नृराशिश्चैतेषुसौम्यसहितेषु शुभं विभाव्यम् ।
Human signs with good planets are good. Bad planets in the rising sign, and a bad Moon, are not good.
