Narada Purana (Jyotisha Selections) · by Vyasa
Chapter 10 · Yatra and Omens
यात्रा शकुनाश्च
एकग्रामे विवाहे च दुर्भिक्षे राजविग्रहे ।द्विजक्षोभे नृपक्षोभे प्रतिशुक्रो न विद्यते ॥ ६३७ ॥
In the full Narada Purana (Purva Bhaga) this is chapter 56, verse 637.
There is no pratishukra (Venus standing in front of the traveler) in these cases. A journey within one village. A marriage. A famine. A war with the king. Trouble among the twice-born. Trouble with the king.
Simple meaning: This Venus fault does not count in these cases.
नीचगोऽरिगृहस्थो वा वक्रगो वा पराजितः ।
Venus low, in an enemy's house, backward or beaten can break the journey. Venus high brings victory.
स्वाष्टलग्नेष्टराशौ वा शत्रुभात्त्वष्टमेपि वा ।
A journey rising sign that is the 8th from your birth chart can put life at risk, the verse says.
जन्मेशाष्टमलग्नेशौ मिथो मित्रे व्यवस्थितौ ।
If the birth sign lord and the 8th sign lord are friends, the 8th sign fault goes away.
