In the full Narada Purana (Purva Bhaga) this is chapter 55, verse 8.
From the Sun on, the high points are Aries, Taurus, Capricorn, Virgo, Cancer, Pisces and Libra. They are highest at 10, 3, 28, 15, 5, 27 and 20 degrees. (Our text is unclear here: the Sun's number reads as 2 in print.)
Simple meaning: The Sun, Moon, Mars, Mercury, Jupiter, Venus and Saturn are strongest in Aries, Taurus, Capricorn, Virgo, Cancer, Pisces and Libra.
तत्तत्सप्तमनीचानि प्राङ्मध्यांत्यांशकाः क्रमात् ।
Each planet is weakest in the sign opposite its strong sign. The first house is the body.
सिंहोक्षाविस्रश्चतौलिकुंभाः सूर्यात्रिकोणभम् ।
Sun, Moon and Mars have strong parts in Leo, Taurus and Aries. The 5th and 9th are luck houses.
रिःफाष्टषट्कं त्रिकभं केंद्रं प्राक्तुर्यसप्तखम् ।
The 6th, 8th and 12th are bad places. The 1st, 4th, 7th and 10th are corner houses.
