Chapter 7 · Victory and Defeat
जयपराजयाध्यायः
अर्कसूर्यसुतयोश्च विलग्ने दृष्टयोश्चधरणीतनयेन ।अस्तगे शशधरे बलहीनैर्वाहिनीपतिवधः किल सौम्यैः ॥ २७ ॥
The Sun and Saturn are in the rising sign, and Mars looks at them. The Moon is in the 7th house, and the good planets are weak. Then, it is said, the army chief may be killed.
Simple meaning: Sun and Saturn in the rising sign, seen by Mars, put the army chief at risk.
सर्वैरमीभिर्नवमस्थितैऽतु हन्यान्नृपो मंत्रिपुरोहितादीन् ।
All these planets in the 9th may lead the king to harm his ministers. The Moon rising adds his sons.
अस्तगे शशिना लग्नगे रवावष्टमे कुजशनैश्चरौ यदा ।
Moon in the 7th, Sun in the rising sign, Mars and Saturn in the 8th: the king may fall.
शीर्षोदयं शुभसुहृद्ग्रहयुक्तदृष्टं लग्नं शुभा बलयुताः शुभवर्गलग्ने ।
A head-first rising sign with strong good planets on it brings success in all things.
