जातकम् २
तत्काले बलवानापन्नाशकृत्समुदाहृतः ।यस्याष्टवर्गजं चापि फलं पूर्णशुभं भवेत् ॥ १४६ ॥
In the full Narada Purana (Purva Bhaga) this is chapter 55, verse 146.
If it is strong at that time, it is said to end trouble. Also take the planet whose ashtakavarga (eight-source point table) result is fully good.
Simple meaning: A strong planet with friends' looks ends trouble. A planet with a fully good point table also helps.
यश्च मूर्तितनुग्लावो वृद्धिगः स्वोच्चभस्थितः ।
A planet in the 1st or 11th, or in a high, own or friend's sign, gives middling good.
श्रेष्ठं शुभतरं वाच्यं विपरीतगतस्य तु ।
Well-placed planets give the best results. Badly placed ones bring much bad and little good.
चरे सन्मध्यदुष्टाभ्यामंगभंगे विपर्ययात् ।
The result depends on which third of the rising sign it is and whether the sign moves, stays fixed or is dual.
