ग्रहराशिस्वरूपवर्षप्रवेशाद्यानयनाधिकारः
भरणी च मघा चित्रा विशाखा शततारका ॥धनिष्ठाश्लेषिका प्रोक्ता वर्षवेशेऽतिनिंदिताः ॥विरुद्धयोगे विष्ट्यां च वर्षवेशो न शोभन इति ॥
Bharani, Magha, Chitra, Vishakha, Shatataraka (Shatabhisha), Dhanishtha and Ashlesha are said to be very bad at the year's entry. In a bad yoga (one of the 27 daily Sun-Moon yogas), and in vishti (bad half of a moon day), the year's entry is not good.
Simple meaning: Very bad nakshatras for the year entry: Bharani, Magha, Chitra, Vishakha, Shatabhisha, Dhanishtha, Ashlesha. A bad yoga or vishti is not good either.
अत्र विशेष उक्तो दीपिकायां ॥
Birth tithi with the birth nakshatra in the birth month: health, good fortune and happiness.
कृतान्तकुजयोर्वारे यस्य जन्मदिनं भवेत् ॥
Birthday on Saturday or Tuesday without the birth nakshatra: obstacles at every step.
न ऋक्षमनृक्षं कृतान्तशनिः ॥
Word meanings: anriksha means no nakshatra; Kritanta means Saturn.
