Chapter 5 · Year Lord and Muntha
वर्षेशादिविचाराध्यायः
मुथहाधिपतिः षष्ठाष्टमगो द्वादशगश्चतुर्थश्च॥अस्तमितो वक्री वा क्रूरदृशा वीक्षितो युतः क्रूरैः ॥क्रूराश्चतुर्थसप्तमसंस्थः क्रूरेण वा विजितः॥
The muntha (the point that moves one sign each year) lord may be in the 6th, 8th, 12th or 4th house. Or it may be set near the Sun, or retrograde. Or it may be seen with a harsh look, or joined with papa (bad planets). Or it may stand 4th or 7th from bad planets. Or a bad planet may have beaten it.
Simple meaning: Muntha lord in the 6th, 8th, 12th or 4th, set, retrograde, or hurt by bad planets: the year is not good.
भव्यो न भवति वर्षे वाष्टमभवनाधिपेन युक् दृष्टः ॥
Muntha lord with the 8th lord: a very hard year, safety and health need care.
यदि मुथहेशोष्टमभावाधिपेन युतः क्रूरदृष्टस्तदा मरणसमं कष्टं यदि मुथहाधिपतिः षष्ठाष्टमग इत्याद्युक्तलक्षणयुतोष्टमाधीशयुतदृष्टश्च मुथहेशो भवति तदा मरणं स्यात्॥अत्र मुथहाधीशदशायामष्टमाधीशांतर्दशा यस्मिन्काले समायाति तत्रैव मरणं वाच्यम्॥
Muntha lord with the 8th lord: a hard time. Timing comes when the 8th lord's sub-period runs in the muntha lord's period.
ताजिकसारे ॥
Muntha lord weak, a bad planet, or in the 12th or 8th: trouble, fear and quarrels.
