Chapter 8 · Month Chart and Monthly Results
मासप्रवेशादिविचाराध्यायः
अत्र मुंथामासेशदशादिफलवज्ज्ञेयम् ॥ अत्रायं विशेषः ॥ जन्मनि वर्षे वा यो ग्रहः स्वगृहे स्वोच्चे स्वमित्रहद्दादौ सौम्ययुतदृष्टो वा भवति तस्य दशा शोभना ॥ नीचारिगृहास्तगतपतितभवना ६।८।१२ । धीशदशा निंद्या ॥ जीवे संतापोत्पत्तिः ॥ चंद्रः ४।८।२।१।९ एष्वशुभः ॥
Here the sub-periods are known like the results of the muntha (the point that moves one sign each year), the month lord's dasha (planet period) and so on. Here is a special point. Take a planet in the birth chart or in the year. Say it is in its own house or its own uchcha (high point). Or it is in its own or a friend's hadda (a planet's own small part of a sign) and so on. Or good planets may join it or look at it. Its period is good. The period of a planet in its nicha (low point), in an enemy's house, or set is bad. So is the period of the lord of the fallen houses, the 6th, 8th and 12th. For Jupiter, sorrow arises. The Moon is bad in these: 4, 8, 2, 1, 9.
Simple meaning: Sub-periods are judged like the muntha and month lord. A planet strong or helped by good planets gives a good period. A weak or badly placed one gives a poor period.
अत्रापि मासप्रवेशफलानि ॥ वामनः ॥
Day entry: find the moment the Sun reaches the same minutes, and add its daily motion each day to get each day's entry.
दिनलग्ने ग्रहान्त्सर्वान्स्पष्टान् भावांश्च साधयेत् ॥
Day chart: work out the planets and houses, then read the result from the navamsha the Moon is in.
लग्नांशस्थे शुभैर्दृष्टे चंद्रे पुष्टतमं वपुः ॥
Moon in the 1st navamsha: a strong body. Moon in the 2nd navamsha: money and grain.
