लग्नार्द्धं जायते होरा सर्वलग्नेषु सर्वदा ॥ओजराशिभवार्केन्दोः समे चंद्रार्कजा मताः ॥
Half of a lagna (rising sign) is born as a hora (half of a sign), in every lagna, always. In odd signs, the horas belong to the Sun and the Moon. In even signs, they are held to belong to the Moon and the Sun.
Simple meaning: Hora: half a sign is a hora. In odd signs the horas go to the Sun, then the Moon. In even signs to the Moon, then the Sun.
