Chapter 6 · The Twelve Houses
द्वादशभावविचाराध्यायः
अत्र भावेशमित्रग्रहेण दृष्टो युतो वा भावः स्वफलप्रदो वा ज्ञेयः ॥ भावेशशत्रुणा सौम्येनापि युतो दृष्टो वा भावः स्वफलनाशको ज्ञेयः ॥ भावाधीशोपि लग्नाद्भावाद्वा केंद्रगो भावशुभफलवृद्धिदः ॥ षष्ठाष्टमद्वादशस्थो भावफलनाशको ज्ञेय इति विशेषः ॥
Here a friend of the house lord may look at the house or join it. Know that the house then gives its own results. An enemy of the house lord may join it or look at it. This holds even for a good planet. Know that the house then loses its own results. The house lord may stand in a kendra (corner house) from the lagna or from the house itself. Then it increases the good result of the house. If it stands in the 6th, 8th or 12th, it destroys the result of the house. This is the special point.
Simple meaning: House lord's friends help the house. Its enemies hurt it. The lord in a corner house helps. The lord in the 6th, 8th or 12th spoils the house.
भावनाथो यथा पश्येद्भावं कार्यकरस्स्मृतः ॥
A house lord that looks at its own house makes the work happen, even if overpowered.
जीर्णताजिके ॥ अत्र विशेषो भगवता गर्गेणोक्तः ॥
Planet in its low point or an enemy's sign harms the house. In a friend's or own sign, or high point, it helps the house.
षष्ठाष्टव्ययभावेषु विचारं वैपरीत्यमाह सत्याचार्य्यः ॥
Houses 6, 8 and 12: good planets reduce the house's trouble, and bad planets increase it. This is the reverse of other houses.
