If Saturn is in Capricorn, the person tends to speak little. The 6th lord or the Moon may sit with bad planets in the unseen half of the chart. Then there may be a mark in the eyes. Venus may see the weak Moon. Saturn may see the Moon in its own sign. Bad planets in the 10th or 7th house may see the Moon. The result comes in the next verse. (Our text is unclear here: whether Venus sees the weak Moon or does not see it.)
Simple meaning: Saturn in Capricorn may make a person speak little. A Moon hurt by bad planets may harm the eyes.

Jupiter or Venus seeing Mars rising may harm an eye. Mars just ahead of the Sun may dim them.

The Moon with Mars may mark the eyes. A hurt Sun in the 12th, 9th or 5th may weaken them.

Saturn seeing the Moon with the 1st lord in Aries may make a person short. Some placements may bring ringworm.
