Chapter 2 · The Twelve Houses
भावफलाध्यायः
कोशाधीशःस्वराशौसुरगुरुसहितःसर्वसंपत्प्रदःस्यात्केंद्रेवाथत्रिकेचेद्भवतिहिमनुजःक्लेशभाग्द्रव्यहीनः ॥स्वांत्याधीशौत्रिकस्थौकवितनुपयुतौस्यात्तदानेत्रहीनश्चंद्रःपापेनयुक्तोधनभवनगतःशुक्रयुङ्नेत्रहीनः ॥ ५ ॥
The lord of the 2nd house may be in its own sign with Jupiter, or in a corner house. Then it gives all kinds of wealth. If it is in the 6th, 8th or 12th house, the person may suffer and lack money. The lords of the 2nd and 12th houses may be in the 6th, 8th or 12th. Venus and the 1st lord may join them. Then the person may lose his sight. The Moon may be with a bad planet and Venus in the 2nd house. Then too he may lose his sight.
Simple meaning: A well placed 2nd lord gives wealth. In the 6th, 8th or 12th it may bring want and weak eyes.
शुक्रःसेंदुस्त्रिकस्थोजनुषिनिशिनरःप्राप्नुयादंधकत्वंजन्मांधःसार्कशुक्रस्तनुभवनपतिःस्यात्तदानींमनुष्यः ॥
Venus with the Moon in a bad house at night may harm sight. The same rule works for family members.
भ्रातृस्थानेशभौमौव्ययरिपुनिधनस्थानगौबंधुहीनःस्वक्षेत्रेसौम्यदृष्टेसहजभवनपेमानवःस्याच्चतद्वान् ॥
The 3rd lord with Mars in a bad house may mean no brothers. Well placed, it gives brothers and joy.
पातालेशःस्वराशौशुभखचरयुतोभाग्यनाथेनयुक्तःसामंतःस्यात्ततश्चेत्सुरपतिगुरुणावाहनेशस्तनुस्थः ॥
A well placed 4th lord gives a chief's rank, honour from kings and many vehicles.
