Chapter 3 · Body, Nature, Health: the 1st House
प्रकीर्णतत्त्वम् : अङ्गविचारः (प्रथमविवेकः)
यद्यद्भावीयरन्ध्रेशसूर्यशनिगुलिकेशगुलिकांशेशानां मध्ये योऽधिकबली तत्पाके मूर्तिवित्तादिनाशः ।
Take any house. Look at five planets. The first three are the lord of the 8th from that house, the Sun and Saturn. The fourth is the lord of the sign of Gulika (son of Saturn, a shadow point). The fifth is the lord of Gulika's navamsha (one-ninth part of a sign). Find the strongest of these. In its dasha (planet period), the matter of that house is lost. That is the body for the 1st, wealth for the 2nd, and so on.
स्वांशेऽङ्गेशे शुभयुते वा शुभदृष्टे देहसौख्यम् ।
Say the lord of the 1st house is in its own navamsha (one-ninth part of a sign). Good planets also join it or aspect it. Then the body is at ease…
अङ्गेशोऽङ्गे देहसौख्यम् ।
Say the lord of the 1st house is in the 1st house. Then the body is at ease and healthy.
सपापेऽङ्गेशे त्रिके देहसौख्यं न ।
Say the lord of the 1st house is joined by bad planets. It sits in the 6th, 8th or 12th house. Then the body is not at ease.
