जातकम् २
रोगी पूज्यः क्षती कौर्प्ये कविः शिल्पीज्यभे धनी ।मृगेऽलसोऽटनः स्वक्षः परदारार्थहृद्धटे ॥ २२३ ॥
In the full Narada Purana (Purva Bhaga) this is chapter 55, verse 223.
In Scorpio: often unwell and prone to wounds, yet honoured. In Jupiter's sign, Sagittarius: a poet and a craftsman. Rich. In Capricorn: may tend to laziness and wandering. With fine eyes. In the pot sign, Aquarius: may be drawn to other men's wives and wealth. (Our text is unclear here: whether 'rich' and 'with fine eyes' go with the sign before or after.)
Simple meaning: The Moon in Scorpio brings illness yet honour, in Sagittarius art, in Capricorn laziness, in Aquarius a pull to others' wives.
Classical view, not medical advice.
सबलेभेभयेवापिसवलेजेखिलफलम् ।
A strong sign gives the full result, a weak one the opposite. The Sun gives a different nature in each sign.
निःस्त्रोऽर्कभे भूमिपुत्रे धनी चांद्रे स्वभेदनः ।
Mars in the Sun's sign brings poverty, in Mercury's gratitude, in Jupiter's fame, in Venus's others' wives.
मृगे बह्वात्मजधनः कुंभे दुःख्यनृती खलः ।
Mars in Capricorn gives children and wealth, in Aquarius sorrow. Mercury's list by sign begins.
