जातकम् २
हारेशर्क्षदलस्थैस्तु दृष्टो युक्तः शशी शुभः ।त्र्यंशे तत्पतिमित्रर्क्षगतैर्युक्तेक्षितस्तथा ॥ २३६ ॥
In the full Narada Purana (Purva Bhaga) this is chapter 55, verse 236.
The Moon is good when looked at or joined by planets in the hora (half of a sign) lord's half. In the drekkana (one-third part of a sign) it is the same. There it is looked at or joined by planets in the sign of its lord or his friend.
Simple meaning: The Moon gives good results when fitting planets of its half or third look at it or join it.
द्वादशांशे फलं प्रोक्तं नवांशेऽप्यथ कीर्त्यते ।
Twelfth-part results were told. Now ninth-part results begin: a guard, drawn to violence, a fighter, rich.
कलहः क्षितिजांस्थे शौक्रे मूर्खोऽन्यदारदः ।
Mars's ninth part brings quarrels. Venus's brings weak judgement and a pull to others' wives. Mercury's brings actors and craftsmen.
स्वांशे त्वल्पतनुः सखस्तपस्वी लोभतत्परः ।
In its own ninth part the Moon makes one small and greedy. In Leo's, a minister or king, violent, childless.
