जातकम् १
रिःफाष्टषट्कं त्रिकभं केंद्रं प्राक्तुर्यसप्तखम् ।नृपादः कीटपशवो बलाढ्याः केंद्रगाः क्रमात् ॥ ११ ॥
In the full Narada Purana (Purva Bhaga) this is chapter 55, verse 11.
The 12th, 8th and 6th are the dusthana (bad house) places. The kendra (corner house) places are the 1st, 4th, 7th and 10th. Human, water, insect and four-footed signs are strong in the kendra places, in turn.
Simple meaning: The 6th, 8th and 12th are bad places. The 1st, 4th, 7th and 10th are corner houses.
केंद्रात्परं पणफरमापोक्लिममतः परम् ।
After the corner houses come the succeeding houses, then the falling houses. The signs also have colours, from red upward.
चित्रः कृष्णः पीतपिंगौ बभ्रुः स्वच्छः प्रभाक्रियात् ।
The rest of the signs have colours too: variegated, black, yellow, tawny, brown and clear.
कालात्मार्को मनश्चंद्रः कुजः सत्वं वचो बुधः ।
Each planet stands for a part of life: Sun soul, Moon mind, Mars strength, Mercury speech, Jupiter knowledge, Venus desire, Saturn sorrow.
