कर्कालिमीनाबह्वपत्याजिन्मोक्षघटकाः स्मृताः ॥मध्याःसिंहैणकन्याजतुलाचापास्तथाल्पकाः ॥
Cancer, Scorpio and Pisces are said to have many children. Aquarius and the signs in the word 'jinmoksha' are said to be middling. Leo, Capricorn, Virgo, Aries, Libra and Sagittarius likewise have few. (Our text is unclear here: the word 'jinmoksha' before Aquarius does not read as sign names; it should name the other middling signs.)
Simple meaning: Children by sign: Cancer, Scorpio, Pisces give many. Leo, Capricorn, Virgo, Aries, Libra, Sagittarius give few. Aquarius and one or two other signs are middling.
सूक्ष्माः सिंहधनुर्मेषाः पीतोष्णाःपित्तधातवः ॥

Balanced and phlegm signs: Gemini, Aquarius, Libra are balanced. Cancer, Pisces, Scorpio are cold and phlegm natured.
