Chapter 10 · Transits of the Planets
गोचरप्रकरणम्
षष्ठांत्ये खजले सुतायभवने त्र्यंके रवेः स्यान्मिथस्त्र्यंके जन्मसुते खके मृतिभवे द्व्यस्ते षडंत्ये विधोः । त्र्यर्के लाभसुते सपत्नतपसोर्व्यर्काशुभानां व्यधोष्टाद्ये पुत्रधनेष्टखे कसहजेर्यंके भवांत्ये विदः ॥ २ ॥
For the Sun, these pairs of houses are vedha (blocking point) to each other. 6th and 12th, 10th and 4th, 5th and 11th, 3rd and 9th. For the Moon: 3rd and 9th, 1st and 5th, 10th and 4th, 8th and 11th, 2nd and 7th, 6th and 12th. For the bad planets other than the Sun: 3rd and 12th, 11th and 5th, 6th and 9th. For Mercury: 8th and 1st, 5th and 2nd, 8th and 10th, 4th and 3rd, 6th and 9th, 11th and 12th.
Simple meaning: A good transit house is blocked when another planet sits in its paired house; the pairs are listed for each planet.
स्वर्क्षाच्चंद्रखलास्त्रिखारिषु शुभाः सप्ताद्यगोऽब्जः पुनश्चापुत्राद्व्ययधर्ममृत्युषु कविः स्वास्तत्रिकोणे गुरुः । सौम्यो व्यंत्यसमेऽखिला भवगताः शुक्ले नवेषु द्विगश्चंद्रोऽथो निजभाद्द्युभं नवहृतं त्र्यद्रीषुशेषं न सत् ॥ १ ॥
The planets are good in certain houses from your birth Moon sign; some star counts are bad.
द्व्यस्तेष्टादिमयोः खके नवसुते त्रीशेष्टपुत्रे त्रिकाद्येर्यंत्येकभवे भृगोर्ज्ञशशिनोः शन्यर्कयोर्नो व्यधः । विद्धो व्यस्तफलो भवेद्दिविचरो हेमाद्रिविंध्यांतरे खेटर्क्षाद्व्यधखेचरं विगणयान्यत्रोभयं जन्मभात् ॥ ३ ॥
Venus has its own blocking pairs. Mercury-Moon and Saturn-Sun never block. A blocked planet gives the opposite result.
