नवमविवेकः
चन्द्राद्धर्मेशे केन्द्रे महायात्रा ।
Say the 9th lord is in the 1st, 4th, 7th or 10th house counted from the Moon. Then the person will go on a great pilgrimage.
चन्द्राद्धर्मे शुभदृष्ट्याधिक्ये वा शुभयुते महायात्रा ।
Say the 9th house from the Moon has more aspects from good planets, or is joined by good planets. Then the person will go on a great pilgrimage.
ग्रहचतुष्टयादि एकर्क्षगं प्रव्रज्याकरम् ।
Say four or more planets are in one sign. Then the person will take up an ascetic life.
यावन्तो बलिनस्तावन्तः स्वस्वप्रव्रज्याकाराः ।
Each strong planet gives one kind of ascetic life. So the person takes up as many kinds as there are strong planets.
