Chapter 2 · The Twelve Houses
भावफलाध्यायः
मार्तंडेतातबंधोरथसुतनवमद्यूनगेदानवेज्ये यात्राचिंतानराणामथनवमसुतेपुत्रजावासवेज्ये ॥कर्माधीशोविवीर्योयदिजनुषितदासर्वकर्मास्पदंनो गेहेस्वीयेयदासौ शुभविहगयुतोमानवोमानशीलः ॥ ३३ ॥
If the Sun is in the 5th or 9th house, the person thinks about his father and kin. If Venus is in the 5th, 9th or 7th, he thinks about travel. If Jupiter is in the 9th or 5th, he thinks about sons. If the lord of the 10th house is weak at birth, he may find no steady work. If it is in its own house with good planets, he is a man of honour.
Simple meaning: The Sun, Venus or Jupiter show thoughts of father, travel or sons. A weak 10th lord harms work.
लाभेकेंद्रेत्रिकोणेतनुनिधनभवस्थानगाःसंस्थिताश्चेद्दीर्घायुःपापखेटाःपणफरहिबुकत्रिस्थितामध्यमायुः ॥
Key lords in good houses give long life, in middle houses middle life, in falling houses short life.
योहीनस्तद्दशायुस्त्वथनिजभवनेधर्मकर्मात्मजेशाश्चेत्स्युस्तेषांदशायांबहुलबलवशाद्धर्मबुद्धिर्नराणाम् ॥
Strong 9th, 10th and 5th lords bring good deeds in their periods. Others may bring loss or sores.
यानेशस्तत्रसंस्थोयदिभवतितदायानहेतुर्मृतिःस्याच्चौराच्छस्त्रेणचिंतानवमभवनतोभाग्यजाताविधेया ॥
Each house is judged for its own matters: fortune, work, gains and wrong deeds.
