Chapter 5 · Year Lord and Muntha
वर्षेशादिविचाराध्यायः
क्रूरः शुभोथवायं केन च दृष्टो युतः स कस्य गृहे ॥केंद्रे तन्निकटे वा समगतिरुदितः किमधिकारः ॥
Is he bad or good? Who sees him, or joins him? In whose house is he? Is he in a kendra (corner house) or near one? Is his motion even and is he risen? What office does he hold?
Simple meaning: Questions about the year lord: bad or good, who sees or joins it, whose house, corner house, even motion, which office.
इत्थमवलोकितेस्मिन् शुभयुतदृष्टे विलग्नगगनस्थे॥
Year lord with good planets, in the lagna or the 10th house: all goes well, and the person leads among his own people.
मध्यबलेऽस्मिन् मध्यं हीने हीनं गृहक्षभावेन ॥
Middle strength gives a middle result, weak gives a weak one. Check both lagnas and his house and sign.
वर्षस्वामिनि मंदे पतिते विबले निराशता दौस्थे इति ॥
Saturn as a weak year lord: a low, hopeless mood.
