Chapter 5 · Year Lord and Muntha
वर्षेशादिविचाराध्यायः
ताजिकसारे ॥केंद्रत्रिकोणायगतेब्दनाथे सौम्ये च रम्यः सकलस्तदाब्दः ॥षडष्टरिःफोपगते विवीर्ये कष्टप्रदोसौ गदितो मुनींद्रैः ॥
The year lord may be in a kendra (corner house), a trikona (luck house) or the 11th, and be a good planet. Then the whole year is pleasant. If it is weak and in the 6th, 8th or 12th, the great sages say it brings hardship.
Simple meaning: Year lord in a corner, luck or 11th house, and a good planet: a pleasant year. Weak in the 6th, 8th or 12th: a hard year.
मुंथाब्दभुग्रन्ध्र ८ समांगनाथा नास्तंगता वीर्ययुतास्तमब्दम् ॥
Muntha lord, year lord, 8th lord and year lagna lord: if strong and not set, a pleasant year with money and comfort; the opposite, the reverse.
अथ समाधिपतौ त्रिषडायगे खलखगे सकलं सबले शुभम् ॥
Year lord in the 3rd, 6th or 11th: good if strong. In the 12th or 8th: not good.
अथ विशेषमाह तेजःसिंहः ॥
Year lord in a friendly place, away from the 6th, 8th and 12th, free from the Sun: a year of all comfort.
