सहजविवेकः
चन्द्र शुभदृग्घीने दासोऽथवा भिक्षुकः ।
Say the Moon has no aspect from good planets. Then the person is a servant or a beggar.
सर्वग्रहैर्नीचमूढांशगैः कर्मान्त्यगैर्भिक्षुकः ।
Say all the planets are in their nicha (low point) navamshas or are combust. Say they are in the 10th and 12th houses. Then the person is a beggar.
अन्त्ये गुरौ केन्द्रे शनौ लग्नेऽब्जे भिक्षुकः ।
Say Jupiter is in the 12th house. Say Saturn is in a kendra (corner house). Say the Moon is in the lagna (rising sign). Then the person is a beggar.
चन्द्राद्धने पुत्रे जीवेऽष्टमे शुभे वा पापे निन्द्यकर्माजीवी
Count from the Moon. Say a good or a bad planet is in the 2nd and in the 5th. Say Jupiter is in the 8th. Then the person lives by a despised trade.
