In the wheel, the sign Aries is only a marker. Put the lagna (rising sign) of the year in the place of Aries.
Simple meaning: Drawing the three-flag wheel: where the wheel shows Aries, write the year's rising sign.
॥ पूर्वोक्तंत्रिपताकचक्रम् ॥
Three-flag wheel: twelve points, 1 at the top middle, counted 2 to 12 round to the left. Point 1 is the year's rising sign.
अथात्र प्रसंगाद्वर्षशुभाशुभफलज्ञानार्थं स्वजन्मलग्नान्मेषसंक्रमणलग्नफलं प्रश्नवैष्णवोक्तं लिख्यते ॥
Sun entering Aries: see where that moment's rising sign falls from the birth rising sign. With good planets, that house grows this year; with bad…
जन्मोदये देहसुखन्धनेथ लाभस्तृतीये च कुटुम्बवृद्धिः ॥
Sun's Aries entry rising sign in houses 1 to 6 from birth rising: body comfort, gain, family growth, friends' joy, a child, enemies beaten.
