Chapter 6 · The Twelve Houses
द्वादशभावविचाराध्यायः
अत्र जातकवर्षप्रश्नादौ लग्नादिद्वादशभावाः साध्यास्ततो यत्रयत्र भावे यद्यद्वस्तु कथितं तत्तद्वस्त्वभिप्रायादि ग्रहयोगतो वाच्यम् ॥
Here the twelve houses from the lagna (rising sign) are to be worked out. This is done in a birth chart, a year chart, a question chart and the like. Then take each house and the matter told for it. State that matter, the wish behind it, and the rest, from the combinations of the planets.
Simple meaning: Work out the twelve houses in birth, year and question charts. Judge each house's matters from the planets' combinations.
उक्तं च चंडेश्वरेण ॥
Matters that Yavana and others named for a house are judged from that house.
इति सामान्यतो भावविचारः ॥
This ends the general rules for the houses.
अथ विशेषभावविचारे आदौ तनुभावविचारस्तत्र तनुभावे किंचिंतनीयमित्युक्तं चंडेश्वरेण ॥
First house, the body: health, honour, qualities, respect, conduct, life span, age, relatives, troubles, looks, colour, protection.
